I wasn't following Pelicans closely up until this week and it shocked me how NBA journalists, who cover NBA team, would be so sceptical about signing DMo on a MINIMUM deal while playing Terrence freakin Jones up to 30 minutes a night. Same Terrence Jones that Motiejunas pushed out of rotation in Houston over and over AND OVER again. Same Terrence Jones who was sitting on Houston's bench with DNP-CD 8 months ago, watching Donatas "rehabbing after injury" Motiejunas put up 14 points 13 rebounds, fighting Draymond Green, blocking Klay Thompson's mid range jumpers, drawing charges left and right in Houston's only win against Warriors in the playoffs.
I get that Pelicans are not where fanbase wants them to be, but the never ending pessimism from journalists who cover Pelicans just shocked me.
