Team can’t do anything right. Sure let’s say goodbye to the guy who keeps improving every year for some scraps. Satoransky is a fine player and all, but we could’ve done much better.
There better be something else behind this move, or else Zion will be gone in no time.
From an article when Temple was signed by the Bulls last year - tldr cheap but solid veteran presence, scoring spark off the bench
He turned in arguably the best individual season of his career in 2019-20 for Brooklyn when he averaged 10.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game as a scoring spark who both started and came off the bench at different times throughout the campaign.
Temple was also solid during the Nets' playoff series against the Toronto Raptors and averaged 12.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in defeat.
Look for the LSU product to provide a stabilizing presence off the bench in Chicago when players such as Coby White, Zach LaVine and Tomas Satoransky are not running the offense.
Where's Jeff Bowers when you need him?
People need to get it through their heads that we didn't trade Ball for these players in a vacuum. These players are the not supposed to equal Lonzo's full worth. They are the compensation that Chicago gives up in exchange for us not making things difficult on them.
We were never going to pay Lonzo $20m+. We got that report several days ago that we were not that interested in paying him that much. So therefore, we were never going to keep him. This is not ''we have Lonzo, give us equal value'', this is ''we can make signing Lonzo slightly more awkward for you, grease the wheels for us and we won't''.
$15m in extremely tradeable salary and a big expiring is cool. And we got it for free. We didn't get it ''in exchange for Lonzo'' because Lonzo was leaving either way.
Basketball.
Should of taken that trade offer at the deadline for Ball, I suppose.
Was Ball for Lauri + 1st?
Much prefer paying our culture guys $5MM/yr instead of $15MM or $28MM.
Depending on what else we do I'm ok with the return Tomas and Temple. This gives Naw a clear path to start at SG with Tomas as the backup. Temple will give great vet leadership. Let's see what else they do. Go Pels!
I love Zo. He has been our MIP since the LA trade and I do think he gets to a Jrue level and pulls off an Eastern Conference All-Star appearance, eventually. In a vacuum, I choose him over Dinwiddie every time. But for this team, I would choose Dinwiddie and Sato over Ball and Hart. Which sucks because I love Hart, too. So if we can somehow pull Lowry or CP3 out of our ***** or settle for Dinwiddie, I'd like this Ball trade. We would have also gotten another future 2nd for cash considerations, too.
If we miss out on a vet PG, then this trade was trash. Lol

BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Tons of Pelicans things to wait on:

- Memphis deal getting expanded
- MLE
- Josh Hart deals/ trades
- What is Sato's future
Gotta wait on these things before we can judge everything
Free agent guard Cameron Payne has agreed to re-sign with the Phoenix Suns on a three-year, $19 million deal, league sources tell @YahooSports.

If last year was representative of Cam Payne's standard of play going forward, this is a steal.
i will be very interested to see how this all plays out. lots of moving parts, man.
and when santo was in wash LOTS of you wanted him here....
Lonzo will be a cap liability for the Bulls at that salary. He wouldve been a horrifying cap liability for us during that entire contract had he re-signed here
TJ McConnell has agreed to a four-year, $35M deal to return to Indiana, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Let’s see if Griff is playing chess and is getting all the pieces together to package for Beal. BAM!
Hello again - I think Sato is a good fit for you guys. Low usage guy, solid passer, not as bad of a scorer as the numbers suggest. Defense is frustrating at times but he tries.
Temple is fine - very solid perimeter defense, pretty bad shooter. My main gripe with him was that he was way too content to shoot for someone who isn't good at it, but I'd imagine that will happen far less on a roster with Zion and BI.
They had not intention of matching, but what they got from Chicago today was nothing more than a dump for something. They were so concerned with getting something they settled for nothing much. You have to believe the rest of the league circled the Pelicans like buzzards. It is possible there was never a three way deal with Hornets, never any arrangement with Pacers, and essentially a Bulls offer.
Kyle Lowry is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Miami Heat via sign and trade with the Toronto Raptors, sources tell @YahooSports
