While I agree on both accounts, he still has a nearly 7-foot wingspan, which has been discussed ad nauseam already, but the argument holds water. Plus, he can defend SFs, which is all that matters. Have him shoot the 3-ball all summer, and he can get his % up to the 38-40% range. He'd be a great fit for this team.

The more I think about it, the more I love this combo!

This is my dream scenario this offseason. Not sure if the dollars will work out but would love this + Taj Gibson.

Would make this team extremely versatile and shouldn't kill us with the cap long term.

Me neither. I would have been fine with Q-Pon starting over Bazemore signing.

Houston, New Orleans, Brooklyn and Los Angeles Lakers also interested in Conley, sources say
— Chris Broussard (@Chris_Broussard) June 30, 2016

I doubt this is true, I mean it is Broussard reporting this.

In addition to @ZachLowe_NBA report of Bucks, Grizzlies & Nets interest in Kent Bazemore, sources say add Pelicans, Rockets, Hawks & Magic.

More Bazemore reports.

Houston, Memphis, New York, New Orleans interested in free agent guard Eric Gordon, sources say

Broussard can't actually think we will resign that scrub

We're interested in Conley? Very interesting..... Not 100% sold on Jrue maybe?

I wouldn't doubt there's "interest" in him, depending on the price.

Seems odd we would be going after Conley.

We have to be the most intriguing team to Bazemore on that list, right?

Would you swap Conley and Jrue? I would think long and hard on that one.

looks like someone misses D-Rose already

Have heard the same lament from multiple interested teams tonight: They see New York as a big favorite to land Joakim Noah in free agency.

Sources: Joakim Noah is expected to reunite with Derrick Rose & return to NYC on a deal starting around $18 million.

not sure if this was posted yet:

Source: #Pelicans will not tender a qualifying offer to James Ennis, but would like to bring him back if numbers work out.

I came to the same conclusion. I'd have to think a lot about that one. The guaranteed contract makes me feel comfortable with Conley and even if Jrue is healthy there's always that concern. . .

Conley is older and is coming off an injury himself. Jrue's age is a big tilt in his favor, ugh. I dunno. I'd have to think about it.

Loving what im hearing

What do people think of this scenario ?
Jrue Holidays traded back to sixers for Noel.

Conley, Buddy, Bazemore, Davis, Noel
as our strating lineup

What is the best value to increase the value of your FA client? You have to tell that there is a big interest in him.
Your former team has your Bird rights.

You can even call Dell. He probably answered positively. There is no GM who is burning all bridges...

Agreed. We are going after bazemore or Barnes. People better get used to it.

From ESPN on Greg Monroe:

The Pelicans have explored a Monroe-Anthony Davis partnership before, but they are hopeful Omer Asik will rebound after a dreadful season; they are in no rush to waive him via the stretch provision, allowing them to spread his remaining guaranteed money, sources say. Still: they will watch the market for centers, including Monroe.

We can't sign both Conley and Bazemore. We can barely afford one of them assuming we let renounce Ryno and EG

If we trade Holiday, and don't resign Ryno, then yes we certainly can sign both of them.
Im also assuming that we trade either reke or asik in this process

Thunder apparently will try to get horford as well:

Trading away Jrue and trying to sign Conley makes no sense to me. Doubly so considering Conley's injury history.
