The Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans have expressed interest in free agent Trevor Booker, according to league sources. They join the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs (whom I mentioned last night) as possible suitors for the big man

I mean it's all speculation. The only thing we know for certain is Jrue himself in an interview said he turned down more money to come back to Nola.

Could he have been lying? Sure. But I see no reason after the fact when asked, "How did the Pels letting you take care your family factor into your decision?" for him to lie about getting a higher offer and turning it down. Nor does he seem to be that type of person.

I know many soured on Tyreke and his ball dominant ways, but always felt he had the moxie to take big shots when others apparently didn't want the ball at the end of games.

Seems like he adjusted his mind frame when he signed with Grizzlies and played damn well for them, especially the improvement in his 3 point shooting, which was always what held him back from being the perfect 3 & D, we have coveted.

I bet many who were down on Tyreke when he left would love to,have him back now, if they knew he could hit 37% of his 3's, possibly be the 2nd team point and know that he understands the team hierarchy now. Tyreke and Mirotic would form the basis for a scary 2nd team and would be,one of the better ones. If we could get Tyreke back, along with re-sign Boogie and Rondo, that's as a successful off-season as we possibly could have.

Wizards mentioned as "long shot" as a sign-trade partner for Boogie. Just got an update from Bleacher (per Kevin O'Connor of the Ringer).

I always said reke can get to the rim against anyone and i never understood why none of our coaches ISO reke and let him take curry to the rim all day long...we never post up reke on smaller guards smdh.....reke and jrue back court would make curry work on defense and not give him time to rest on that end.....reke,,jrue,,Miller,,Niko, and another shooter would be a 3pt fest...reke breaking his man down and getting to the rim one on one or him making the defense collapse and kicking it out to a shooter......

I don't get the feeling Demp's or Gentry were ever down on Reke, he had to be included to make the trade for Boogie work. Hopefully he understands that and would be willing to come back. Dude was the driving force behind AD's first trip to the playoffs.

If we lose Cousins, let it be via sign and trade. And either let us get a massive trade exception or a wing who isn't garbage.

Otherwise, I want Cousins here. It's our best play.

If Reke comes back will Reke Havoc come back too?

**bahmamamba** · 07-01-2018, 03:55 PM

Is there any more actual news on the reke front or just the same one?

He posts every once in awhile. Always drops a bit of the inside info too. I'd be interested in hearing what he's heard on this free agency.

No, nothing new.

Really hope Cousins stays. If he does, I would hope we stop with the point-center experiment. Since we are talking about Reke, having Boogie running offense, especially with under 4 min to go, reminded me of Reke hero ball. I get why we tried it out with all of the injuries and no true point guard at the time (rondo coming off injury early in the season), but I feel like it just takes away from the rest of our guys so much ESPECIALLY ANTHONY DAVIS and Jrue.

Inserting Cousins and Reke (or whatever starting 3, allowing 3twan to come off the bench) into the offense we ran after Boogie got hurt honestly feels like an NBA championship formula. Maybe the only formula that could possibly stop the Warriors.

I wouldn’t expect tyreke back, not that I have any info on him just seems like that info came from his agent.
