Both Hart and NAW have trained with Dinwiddie a lot in off seasons. Very well liked person by them and throughout the league.Originally Posted by Pelicanidae
That said, I seriously doubt, and don't see why anyone would offer him 25 mil coming off that injury. His name isnt Kevin Durant. I can barely see $20 mil.
Otherwise if he's healthy I definitely like Dinwiddie on this team. He's a good stop gap.
One baby step forward (Off season trade to start the season) and 3 steps back.( Everything else) pretty consistently.
The heat picked up Dragic?s option, expected to use him as a sign and trade to get Lowry. That would really suck because it means the Pelicans miss out on Lowry but also miss out on Dragic. I don?t expect the Pelicans to ever land a high profile FA, so wasn?t counting on Lowry, but would have loved for us to get Dragic.
Per @JakeLFischer on @SpotifyGrnroom, it was reported that THJ is NO LONGER a priority for the Mavs in FA. #MFFL

THJ hits the market, potentially.
He'd be an interesting name to pick up. Wing, can really shoot it, not quite as apocalyptically bad on defense as options like McDermott, not really a creator for others but he's not turnover prone either.
Wouldn't be my first priority but if he's available for a decent price (probably won't be, he'll probably get a stupid offer from somewhere) he'd be a solid fallback option if initial plans fall through.
Basketball.
I don?t believe that at all. THJ is just probably asking for too much money.
There are so many possible options it’s virtually mind boggling.... I am so curious as to how many jabs Griff will take when he does eventually pull the trigger (s)..... fun times....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
If they are dead set on not bringing back Lonzo, go get a Kendrick Dunn, or a TJ McConnell and let him fight it out with Kira.
Note: I do think Eldrid will be in a Pelican uni next year on the cheap.
Thunder, Spurs, Raptors and Pelicans vying for Zack Collins. He's talented but always hurt.
No love for Bobby Portis?
Norman Powell is an interesting one to me. Kinda underwhelming and not sure what that would say.
Bringing in Lowry would tell me they eventually see Kira as the future but want some vet leadership to compete now and help mold the team for the future. I get that. Dragic fits here, too. This is my favorite plan for the present and future.
I get Brogdon because that's adding a player in their prime. Not as much experience as above but ok I still get it and dig it.
Sexton seems like giving up on Kira being the starter a bit but I can still understand why fans would want that. I'm not the biggest fan of this.
Bringing back Ball and Hart makes sense since neither have reached their prime. I think they can both eventually become a starter (Ball) and 6th or 7th option (Hart) on a contender.
Norman Powell.....is....well....he's Norman Powell. And at this point he will probably always be Norman Powell. A good 8th or 9th man on a contending team to be generous. Maybe brings some experience but.....I dunno.
Am I missing something?

Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
Chances are....
If you bring in Powell... We move NAW to PG? That doesn't sound ideal at all.
What is going on here? 8th or 9th man lol. The guy just shot 41% from 3 on 6 attempts per game and averaged 19 a night on a 48/41/87 clip. He?s also a very solid and switchable defender. Very lazy take
You have undervalued Powell by alot here. Like alot.
I wish we knew how willing to deal Brogdon, Indiana is. I wanna know what the pricetag would be. That would be the perfect next domino to fall. Would make missing out on Lowry a blessing, if we offer Dinwiddie $25 million, it would've been a curse.

Good read up on Dinwiddie here. Jackson Frank is great
Maybe I did undervalue him. Lol. I dunno. Having watched Portland in the postseason, I remember feeling very underwhelmed by everyone but Lillard. But mistake in undervaluing is overshadowing my point......he was getting thrown around as a "instead of Lowry or Ball" so I was trying to figure out what bringing him in would say for the team moving forward. NAW at PG? Kira ready to take over?
Dinwiddie would be ok on the cheap in my book in that he seems like the type of guy that would teach Kira a thing or two. I still envision Kira as the future so that would be priority, to me.

It's amazing how much the fans and sportswriters love Brogdon but we never hear the team say his name.
"New Orleans and Dallas are two teams with salary cap space and strong interest in Lowry who are beginning to search elsewhere for starting point guard help, sources said." https://t.co/4XRg0N2bKS

Yep, looks like Miami is the overwhelming favourite for Lowry.
So the question is, what does New Orleans do instead? Knowing us, the answer is probably maxing Dinwiddie or something equally stupid.
I am fine with Dinwiddie on a 16 to 18 million a year contract or a 1 or 2 year $20 million a year deal. If the Pels give him 4 years, $20-$25 million, they are idiots.
Dinwiddie @ 20MM per or Lonzo @ 20MM per?
To me it's a no brainer. Lonzo will likely retain is value; I'm not confident Dinwiddie will at all. One's is coming off a lost season due to injury; the other is coming off the second consecutive season where he his splits have improved dramatically. One has the endorsement of the only person that matters (tic); the other doesn't. One was the best defensive player in his starting five last year, the other was the best defender in the OR. If 20MM is the number, which one would you give it to?

If someone forced me to give $20m to either it would be Lonzo, but I'd rather pay neither of them that much money.
I'd like Dinwiddie as well. (He'd fit in too perfectly with the Wiz) I've studied the draw backs of his game for sure, most notably, his 3p percentage. However I'd be down for a 2 year deal Deal worth 18Mill. Then we can still sign a SG like Norman Powell with our remaining cap space.
Anyway, offer CP3 the maximum amount of money you can legally do so.
I have no idea what they're going to do at this PG position now but what do y'all think about Danny Green on the team?
Danny Green, for reasonable money, is always a good addition to any team.
