I could see us trading Jrue to Washington for Wall if he isn't willing to sign their offer one day.
Throw in Hill and two 1sts or 1st and a 2nd.
MM actually hates this contract. I follow him on Twitter and he is not a fan of this but is optimistic Dell will make other "smaller" great deals. He think we should go for Bledsoe to try to get a 3rd seed in the West.

If somebody's claiming go for Bledsoe and the Pelicans can get a 3 seed in the west??
Lol is he drinking? Warriors Spurs Thunder Rockets that is the Top 4 no given order.
The Pelicans have won barely 60 games total in 2 years. So loosely making that claim of a 3 spot is ludicrous to say the least.

This deal had to be done IMO. I may be biased, but I thought he was the best free agent point guard out there. I'd take him over Teague & Lowry, mainly cause of his ability to play & guard both guard spots. Plus he's younger than those 2 as well.
Offering him that much when it kills cap space not just now but going forward for yrs & all it does is prevent us from getting worse.....is INSANE.
Never mind dude always gets hurt.
Jrue, AD, Boogie coached by Gentry, we saw how that worked out. Those same four aren't going to bring that much better results this season. Sorry to pis in the cornflakes of those leaning on hope, it aint happening.
Why would I do that? I've been a fan here longer than you anyway. You could have told us why it's a good deal instead of trying to attack the poster. No one here has really broken it down.
AD: 18/19 25M, 19/20 27M
Jrue: 18/19 25M, 19/20 25M
Solomon: 18/19 12.7M, 19/20 13.3M
Asik: 18/19 11M, 19/20 12M
Moore: 18/19 8.8M, 19/20 8.6M
So add it up. That's about 83M due to those five the next two yrs. That obviously doesn't account for Boogie who'd be getting 25-30M if not more if re-signed.
So with those contracts and to re-sign Boogie it's looking like a minimum of 108M for SIX players in 18/19 and 19/20 and it easily could be 113M+ with a re-signed Boogie. And it probably aint a playoff caliber team and there really isn't anything added to the squad of value or quality.
I'm glad you think this is a good situation. But basic math suggests its a complete mess.

Of the 394 minutes that Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins shared the floor, Jrue Holiday was also on the floor for 95% of them.

In the 376 minutes Jrue Holiday shared floor with Davis & Boogie, Pelicans had scoring margin of a 54-win team last season. There's promise.

SS you are dead on with your fuzzy math.
I don't see how we crack the top 7 in the west based on the same players and Head Coach.
Most of these guys on the forum look at POTENTIAL WINS
Facts stat otherwise. Cousins was forced to New Orleans via trade not because he seen POTENTIAL.
Modern NBA don't have the same mindset as 90s NBA. Starting two Big Men. History says it works well.
My issue honestly is Head Coach. We have a guy who is lost as a leader. I think Finch was forced on him.
Again I blame the Pelicans for not wanting to pay for a high quality Head Coach when they were searching.
Scotty Brooks Tom Thibeau Van Gundy were available but at higher price tags. The Pelicans went with the lower spectrum in Gentry. All points to accountability in the ball club. I don't think it's a good situation myself.
We should have moved on from Holiday and went with another option due to we need change.
Using that as some sort of lithmus test is so flawed. Where to start? This being a different season? The coaching staff and system being different? Other teams in the West being better? The teams the 3 of those guys were healthy for were a combined below .500? Where do we start?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
we need a three still, we need to waive/stretch asik and ajinca. I think we need to go after a guy like will barton. I think we need to look into trading moore/hill. I think we will wind up signing the other holiday too...
THANK YOU. It's nutty how people STILL don't understand how pretty much every new deal over the last couple years has been done with the future cap jumps in consideration.
For instance right now, Conley is around where he should be...making between Curry/Wall and the 2nd/3rd tier Teagues, Holidays, etc. Last year his deal looked silly.
