I would be really impressed if we brought in Reggie Jackson. Every Clippers game I watched, he seemed to shine in the spotlight.

LA is certainly walking a medical tightrope while coming off a year where both, LaLABron and Son, lost their balance.Originally Posted by AusPel
We need a stretch four though. Can't believe Milwaukee got Portis re-signed for that cheap.
i read earlier this week that portis was gonna give mil a hometown discount
He did. He signed for the cheap.
Basketball.
Sources: Restricted free agent Devonte' Graham is signing with the Pelicans via sign-and-trade, with New Orleans sending first-round pick to Charlotte.

Oof
What
The
********
Need more details.
When is the pick? Does it have protections? Is it ours, or one of the LA/Bucks ones? How much is the contract for Graham? How many years?
Really a first round pick. Wtf.
Ooookay. Isn't he restricted though?
The New Orleans Pelicans are landing Charlotte restricted free agent guard Devonte Graham on a four-year, $47M contract in a sign-and-trade deal, agents Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN.

That's like $12m a year, that's not too bad.
Still, what about the pick? Lottery protected? Bucks pick, Lakers pick, or Pels pick?
Lets go bois, Graham is basically the same player as Ball besides the defense not being as good but he is going to be way cheaper
Wow we could?ve just traded Ball to Charlotte for Graham.
If it?s the Lakers or Bucks picks, then it?s not that bad
That'll be why we gave them the pick. That's the ''don't match this'' fee.
Lol I like it. 12 mill is cool. Now what's the finishing touches on these trades?
Hopefully it's like top 20 protected or it becomes 2nds
New Orleans will send Charlotte its 2022 lottery-protected first-round pick, source tells ESPN.

Lottery protected
If those are terms then I am happy with this deal! We have plenty of draft capital and as we can tell we need to build a winning team before we can land bigger free agents.
Graham is a better shooter than ZO and a nice playmaker great handles
Does anybody have the 'skinny' on DeMar DeRozan - the person? Would he be a good match with our youth? What would he bring to the locker room?
Yeah I'm okay with this. Not in love with it ofc, would have preferred not to give up the pick, but I like Graham, I can see the fit, and $12m a year isn't bad at all. Should be moveable if needed later on.
Well we better make the damn playoffs then
This mean we're out for Dinwiddie?
Now go get DeRozan
I think a lot of people don't realise how insane Graham's shooting is in terms of combining volume with efficiency.
He shot basically identical percentages as Lonzo this year on 14 attempts per 100. The only players who took more than him per 100 were Steph, Buddy, Lillard, and Jordan Clarkson (lmao) and Graham shot 38% on them. That's pretty wild.
84% FT shooter also
