It’s almost as if what JJ Reddick, Kendrick Perkins, and others have said about him is true.

I’m gonna spend two minutes pretending this has anything to do with us in a positive way.

Is it possible that there are some additional teams and players involved in some of these transactions that for some reason we haven't heard about yet? Which may end up explaining why we gave up a protected first to Charlotte?

We have a better chance signing Kawhi than getting Beal dawg. Lol

Is there any reason to keep refreshing twitter? What are the odds we do something more than just re-sign Hart to a 4/40M contract and we roll into the season with some sort of depth chart like this:

PG: Sato / Graham/ Kira
SG: NAW / Graham / Murphy
SF: Ingram / Hart / Temple
PF: Zion / Marshal / Gabriel
C: JV / Hayes

Or is there real promise of S&T'ing Hart + Sato for a starting Guard. If so who is that guard even gonna be, people talk about Heild does Hart + Sato = Heild? People also like Sato as a solid player should we just keep him?

I just cannot believe Griffin is not going to use that Memphis deal to add a useful player.

So you're saying there's a chance.

Even with the difficult games guarded by Jrue, he was still good enough in games 5 and 6 for his overall finals averages to be 22/3/8 on 55/52/75 splits.

Whether he fades or not in future is no reflection of the season he just had, where he was excellent, and then in the playoffs again where he was excellent, including the Finals.

People have the weirdest winners bias. Like, it's a team sport. The fact that the team lost doesn't mean that CP3 was terrible, he was really elite in 4 of the 6 games, and even in the 2 where he struggled he wasn't horrible. He just couldn't score.

It's not bias. He looked exhausted in the last few games. He's going on 37. I didnt say he had a bad year, and I certainaly didnt say "CP3 was terrible" In fact, I'd say he was mostly superb! But, I still think that he will be declining sooner rather than later

There's always a punchers chance. But imo we ain't doing anything huge. I want Jarred Vanderbilt dammit. But it'd be small moves like that.

Maybe Hart to the Cavs for Dean wade and a pick.

I agree with this and was about to say the same. I really feel comfortable with him off the bench.

I hear you man. Hoping for a hail Mary at this point. Not even sad anymore, just kinda hilarious with all of this. From the friendly fire of the Zions camp which is one of the factors of NO ONE in FA wanting to come here, to Griffin saying we are "Sleeping Giant" LMAOOOOOOO.

I truly love being a Pelicans fan, like no sarcasm

This is exactly how I feel. I am generally more pessimistic. I'm guessing we have a couple minor moves left. I'm now trying to decide is it better for us to have a great season and leap frog Spurs, Blazers, Clippers and somehow get in that 6th - 7th seed range. Or have a terrible season and pick up another top 6-7 pick...

My opinion: the former is way more important than the latter. If we end up in the latter, you can blow it all up, because Zion is all but out. Make the playoffs, show progress, maybe you can start to attract a free agent or two. We have to start winning. Winning changes a teams outlook completely. Look no further than the Suns and Hawks.

If we picking top 7 next year then Zion gone fam. I been accepted that as well. Still will be a Pelicans though.

Nah JJ was just being a **********. Signed a 2 year deal, then played the worst basketball of his career, and then blame the GM that the team he wanted to get traded to did not value him enough.

**ozwego15** · 08-04-2021, 12:37 PM

Free agent Victor Oladipo has agreed to a deal to return to the Miami Heat, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Whether or not the Pelicans make the playoffs next year it seems very unlikely that Zion would leave, like how much money would that cost him?

I'm not trying to be condescending when I say this, but it's time for Pelicans fans to start being alittle more realistic.
