With our current lineup he does not. Jrue and Ingram would start.

That being said. When Zo sits, Jrue or Ingram can play the point with JJ playing the guard. Smart move!

No. But a very nice backup to Jrue or if/when Jrue slides to the 1 for a few minutes.

Reddick is in a great position to be the 3rd guard while we develop guys. If he's hot he can stay in to close out games.

Reddick is better off from the bench. He's a bit of defensive liability, but will end up finishing plenty of games.

I really like this signing

The Pelicans get their veteran, their shooter, their locker room guy and their short-term contract. https://t.co/KkgXi9FF60

Yes. Even more when you consider the Lakers probably wanted him.

They seem to be screwed if they dont land Kawhi.

And all that just for 26mil !!

Does this give us some flexibility to pick up some salary dump guys? I was thinking Adams but he might be too expensice now. But what do I know?

I'm pretty sure that since Melli will be signed with the room exception, if we sent Moore out we could still take Adams back, if we wanted.

Day One of New Orleans Pelicans Training Camp: Shooting 101 with JJ Reddick.

This is over $50MM tied up in one position. Not trying to rain on our parade but this is curious.

I think we call the Atlanta trade (random 2nds not listed) :

#4 + Solomon Hill for #8, #17, Cavs 2020 1st, JJ Reddick

That's a darn solid trade

Sounds good to me.

My gosh, if Griff can pull another Rabbit out of his hat...The man is an absolute wizard.

JJ Redick scored 435 points off of hand off actions last season, comfortably the most in modern NBA history and likely the all-time single season record. The blueprint for how teams use elite shooters continues to evolve.

Just as a note: if Griff DID pull the Adams trade, then both Adams and Reddick would expire in two years, leaving us with $38m of cap space in 2021 just from those two guys alone.

And 2021 is projected to be a big free agency class.

Couldn't we take in Adam's with our trade exception and hold on to Moore for deadline assests? Can never have enough 2nd picks lol

Duke is taking over New Orleans.

The New Orleans Blue Devils!!!

Shooting on the outside and dancing down under.

It’s worth noting that JJ Redick has never missed the playoffs in his career

Bad news Darius Miller, you are the wrong shade of blue.

Thing I hate about all this is Lakers bringing in Kahwi , DLo , Butler etc but we sign JJ and we out on Horford . Smh

I know that we all know how good a shooter Redick is, but sometimes you forget exactly how insane his numbers are.

Over the last 5 years, Redick has averaged 43% from three on 6.4 attempts per game. Last season he shot 39.7% on EIGHT attempts per game.

EIGHT.

Thing I hate about all of this is people actually buying what the rumor mill is selling.

I'd much rather have JJ and Horford than DLo or Butler tbh.

Of course Kawhi would be a dream, but it's exactly that: a dream.

Bayou Blue Devils.

Love the signing, didn't think he'd leave the northeast.

We get his podcast, Josh Hart and his podcast.. so is Moore on the move? Is Hart safe? I hope Lonzo and the young crew shoot with JJ constantly.
