December 16th - New Orleans Pelicans VS Miami Heat - 15-15

This team is ##### disgusting to watch

AD didn't even contest that, poor poor defense.

Why isn't Frank in?

22 offensive rebounds. Honestly makes me feel sick

The IQ of Jrue sometimes just makes me wonder.

Not blaming the coach anymore. It’s apparent this team needs more guys that can create their own shot. We currently only have three (Jrue, Randle, AD). The rest of the roster are nothing more than specialists and they can’t get the ball in their usual spots because unfortunately our main facilitator is injured. Dell better start working the phones RIGHT NOW.

AD couldn't create his own shot for the life of him tonight.

Embiid, Whitesite, Gobert, they are his kryptonite. And he shrivels up when he has to face them

AD is a #4 ! Period. Okafor must be crippled not to at least take Diallo's minutes. Diallo couldn't get minutes with Duke. He is ATROCIOUS .

John Wall make it happen here. Bring back DeMarcus in offseason. Goal should now to keep Davis happy.

Otherwise you are correct.

Davis playing the 5 just isn't working like I hoped. We need a real Center. Bringing in a bunch of 4s to can spot small ball 5 makes us super vulnerable to elite 5s matching up on Davis and sucking him in a vaccum.

It sucks not having our facilitator running the offense too. Feels like 4 on 5 ball on offense and defense against elite 5s.

It's not very surprising Diallo couldn't get any minutes with Duke, tbh....

Dell thought he was some unpolished diamond

But if you look at who was taken after him (33) it's the biggest pile of turds you've ever seen.

The only one who's worked out is Brogdon. Literally everyone else is usless save about 2 players

Just sayin- your statement is a non-sequitur.
The reference was used to infer that he couldn't play for the best college team IMO in the country.
So, what does him going to Kansas 3 years ago, have to do with him not being able to play for Duke right now.
Your comment is basically a DUHHH ! Everyone knows he went to Kansas.

The ill advised snark is Champ like.
He couldn't get minutes for Kansas either, considering ,well,you know-he's in the NBA.
If this isn't too deep for you-> The reference was in regard to playing for the best college team IMO in the country.

Let Randle and Niko go and you have cap room!

Mike

I find myself siding with MM that Wall may be the only acquirable star player who really has a shot to elevate this team to a level that AD could be impressed with enough to stay.

Big contract, yada yada, but like we saw with Detroit trading for Griffin, small market teams can be willing to take on a huge contract when desperate enough for a star. Pels should be in that situation. Wall is still really good, and would be a great fit with AD and Jrue. Only question is, if Washington really would trade Wall in a mostly salary saving type move Pels could offer.

Ok, we renounce all cap holds, we dump Hill and Moore and we open up 1 max slot. We sign Cousins back, now we have a roster of Jrue, AD and Cousins with NO way to make it better outside of the MLE and minimum contracts. So now you are in a worse position than you are in this season, because you REALLY have no depth.. Learn how the salary cap works and how to build an actual NBA team before posting drivel.
