Thread: Pelicans Botched Rebuilding around Anthony Davis?

  1. #1

    Pelicans Botched Rebuilding around Anthony Davis?

    http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/2014/07/...s-eric-gordon/

    After starting out with a traditional rebuild, New Orleans attempted to speed up the process last season and in doing so, ended up treading water and putting their future on an uncertain course.

    Another fantastic Pels article.

    /sarcasm

    kumar got him lol. Read the whole article then read the comment he left. Glad he did because I was going to say the same exact thing. He saved me 10 minutes of my life.

    Kumar • an hour ago

    What a misinformed article. It operates on so many assumptions, and many false ones, that I don't even know where to begin.

    RE: Anderson
    Who says we have to deal with him by 2015? He has two more years on his contract and he comes off the books right when the new TV deal sets in AND when Gordon comes off the books.

    RE: Asik. We have the capspace to deal with him. Washington did the same with Gortat, is anyone crucifying them? Or did they also not move the needle

    RE: Whats the rush?

    Why wait? Davis is clearly ready to win now. Why not surround him with pieces that are ready to compete from the get go? Or do you want another DMC or Love situation? Remind me which rookies from the previous year would have helped us at 6? If you say Nerlens, then you are sorely misinformed - that deal was agreed upon before the draft. By the time rookies from 2013 and 2014 are ready to contribute at an NBA level, AD will be going into his 4th year with a big fat extenstion, and we will still have somewhere between 20 million and 30 million in capspace based on the current projections. You may not buy into Holiday or Evans, but they are productive players who will give you much more in the next 2 years than any rookie will. You want the nitty gritty numbers? Take a look here: http://www.bourbonstreetshots.com/20...eans-pelicans/

    Next time, dig a bit deeper in your research before writing something like this.

    I wonder if the criticism would turn to praise if instead of trading a 1st for Asik we received a 1st to take Lin? MOAR DRAFT PICKS!!!!

    Those are the only things that matter, after all.

    I really don't understand the hate of giving up the 1st seeing as the protection it has.

    It's like that Family Guy episode:

    "A boat's a boat, but a mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat!"

    The quote also works great when debating the Wiggins for Love trade.

    To the writer's credit... he did have some good replies to Kumar (and others) without jumping on the defensive about his writing.

    For that... I respect him. Don't agree with him... but I respect him.
