    Reggie Jackson would actually be a pretty good fit if he could stay healthy.

    He is a really, really good pick and roll point and would flourish next to AD.

    Get Bledsoe!!! Do whatever it takes to get Boogie's Kentucky buddies and keep him happy so he resigns!!!

    I agree with you that Moore shouldn't be starting but Hill is a good starter in this league as a fifth option... I bet you would say Zaza, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith aren't starters either... if you surround him with great talent which we have in AD DMV and Jrue and a solid shooter, he could be everything you need in a glue guy... He plays very good defense, hustled and does the grimmy work... He knows his role and is a team first guy... i also think he is only worth 6-8mil but we are stuck with his salary...Both should not be starting tho!!! Give me Hill

    if he's thinking top 4 seed then it has to be a pretty significant move right?

    What is the realistic price tag for Bled?

    Signing Jrue doesn't give up the farm..lol. They'll be able to re-sign Boogie next summer. Who's Q Tip ? Being ignorant isn't a excuse. Read more than what one person writes about the Pelicans.

    It's unfortunate the people running are ruining this ball club.
    This fake theory that Cousins is going to resign here in New Orleans provided we show stability and win a round in the playoffs.
    I think the downside was the Holiday deal. Resigning him was saying we want change but we don't change anything.
    Same failed solutions don't resolve tomorrow's problems.
    I will be optimistic and let's see what Dell has up his sleeve. Maybe he signs Hayward or makes a blockbuster trade

    I happen to like Moore. He has good hustle off the dribble and likes to run the break.
    I think Hill needs to put the ball on the floor and go to the rack more.

    Moore is a high percentage 3pt shooter and a plus defender. He is a great fit as the starting SG. Jrue, Moore, Hill, AD, Cousins should be the Pelicans starting lineup. What we need to do is fill out the rest of the roster with good players.

    I would rather CJ Miles, Ben McLemore or Swaggy P... I agree that Hill should handle the ball a little more as he showed a nice drive when he handled the rock in a point forward role here and there... I really liked the combination of Moore and Crawford off the bench tho...

    We need to clear the slate of bad dead end deals.
    Asik, Q Tip needs to go. Lick your wounds.
    Injuries happen to all 30 teams in the league.
    We don't want to have 1 injury ruin the season.
    Having a solid bench is key next man Up.
    Keeping dead end players on the roster holds up opportunities for the younger players to get minutes

    My only knock on Moore as a starter is that he is limited... not ideal size, lack first step... To me, his ceiling is not much more than the player he is now...

    I still feel his ability to be a consistent catch and shooter(47% catch and shoot player last season) is very valuable in a system like ours with Finch and built around Davis/Cousins, lots of cutting and drawing defenders away from shooters.


    You need guys at the guard spots that can make defenses pay to make the whole thing work.

    This is true. I still like him, however, as the player he currently is at is a solid 3 and D guy.

    If Moore can just maintain about 41%+ from 3, on about an average 3 attempts per game, he'd be ideal as a starting 2. Kinda like Gordon was during the playoff run. Otherwise he's ideal off the bench.

    I'd really like CJ Miles in that Danny Green role either way.

    Asik is total deadweight, the Pelicans can and should use the stretch provision to dump his horrible contract. It was a bad contract from the beginning but could be justified because we needed someone to play the 5 and free up AD. With the addition of Cousins there is no purpose for Asik remaining on the roster.

    Q-pon could be a good role player if he ever regains form from his injury. That might not ever happen, but the Pelicans are probably stuck carrying that contract and hoping he can come back.

    THIS! People need to lower their expectations. We're not the Boston Celtics.

    I guess my question is why keep players on the roster that don't get playing time and have 0 future?
    Both of these guys are for nothing.
    Terrence Jones was a baller still don't get that move? Dante is needed back he is a good player that played hard on defense
