Lack of charisma doesn’t = lack of intelligence either. I’m not going to hold that against Jax when most athletes get away with not honing their speech skills.Originally Posted by Pelicanidae

Yep, it's not an issue. There are lots of people who are not particularly good speakers who are very good at what they do. There are a lot of ways to be intelligent, and many of them don't show up in interviews.

It's not that he lacks charisma. Just seems kind of...dim. Doesn't require the sharpest tool in the shed to play basketball...but it doesn't hurt. Oh well.
Jax sounds just fine talking to reporters. He doesn't sound unintelligent at all. Does he need to crack jokes? As a person that has done 100+ presentations...Wth are yall talking about?
One of the great things about ex-NBA players going into the media is that you get a true, frequent insight into how utterly dim many of them are. You hear Chris Webber begin to talk about anything and your brain switches off. Spend more than 3 minutes listening to Charles Barkley attempt to discuss almost anything, and your frontal lobe melts and dribbles out of your ears. Just stunningly dim people. Yet their on-court careers speak for themselves.
I listened to that whole interview and clearly understood everything he was talking about.
Why is this board so wierdo?

We're not talking about the same thing. It's not his ability to speak clearly. Don't trouble yourself with my shared murmurings. It's not a big deal.
Pelicans finalized their training camp roster. Oddly enough don't see Naji Marshall's name included. The other 2-way is there.
If the roster is accurate, it appears NAW changed his # to 6, which must have led to Bledsoe taking #5.

Marshall never put pen to paper?
Verbally agreed ey?Naji Marshall from the Xavier Musketeers has verbally agreed to a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans
So I wonder what the deal with Naji is. I highly doubt our reporters even care to ask.
Marshall to be at practice tomorrow per Van Gundy....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Cool and the other NBL 2-way still in Australia.
The beginning of the season gonna be sloppy.
otoh..Memphis will start regular season without JJJ and Winslow. Dallas will start without Porzingis.
Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.

Tilman Ferttita is broke though, as NBA owners go.
And OKC's arena sponsor is bankrupt. Good old Smoothie King still expanding.
Finally
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that the team has signed free agent Naji Marshall to a two-way contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Poku's release is super quick
Let's hope OKC are a lot better than advertised. We don't want them getting Cade
Facundo Campazzo debuted against the Warriors

Luka's about to drop 40 point triple doubles on half the league even if he has put on some weight, and it's going to be hilarious. Like when fat Jokic was ripping everyone up and nobody could believe it.
Even if not photoshopped, that picture is a few years old. 5 Miles stopped being the Mavericks jersey sponsor after the 18-19 season.So Luka got fat as hell real quick
