Projected Cap Increase and What It Means for the Pelicans

I think he goes to Phoenix. At least I hope so because if he does, we can get Tucker

From what I've heard and read tucker is really 6'3 to 6'4. Any truth to that?

I'm not as high on deng as I once was. I'd rather take a pass on him at this point.

Recent change of heart, UNO? Last I recall, you didn't think the players were buying into Monty's system and you refused to renew your season tix for next season...

I am still not going to renew my tickets. This team has a nasty habit of doing the unexpected. I expect them to be a playoff team next year. Lets hope they don't let me down, but I am not going to be on the hook for another 2 seats costing me $1500.

That said, seeing the trend to end the season, I believe we have the players to make a strong playoff push, and maybe 1 player away from making a conf. title push (if everyone gels and continues the progress we saw to end the season).

I think it all depends on cost. At 15-16m, I'd be just a bit hesitant but would most likely still do it. At 11-12m? No question. Don't let Cleveland cool you on him. He would be a great fit for our team.

Anybody who has questions about Deng, go back and watch that triple OT game we played against them. Guy was unreal

Cleveland was a dumpster fire. How a team with as much talent as they had only could muster a lottery pick is crazy. I would bring Deng in here in a heartbeat. We can only hope the market has cooled on him as many posters, and NBA fans have. An under the radar signing would do us good, but I still wouldn't want to commit to many resources to him as his body has depreciated over such a long and tough career. He is a nice 2-3 year player, but not somebody I would want to tie my horse more than 3 years to.

Yea I guess it all depends on the contract amount and length. I wouldn't want to sign him to anything longer than 2-3 years tho. I think 3 years would be perfect. Not any longer tho. He's about to be on the wrong side of 30 here soon.

You better believe that the 4th year will be key for signing Deng. This is his last big contract and I'd bet money he won't sign anything for less than 4 years.
