2024 Offseason Thread

[HorneyTexan]

This guy is really good. He knows his stuff. Maybe it's because it's way late at night and my brain has slowed down, but this dude talks fast!

[Nichols]

Very interesting video. Thought?

He's saying a lot of what we've been saying here.

Not exactly, I've seen many people on here talking about running a lineup of Murray - BI - Herb - Z - Theis which is something that I do not like at all. In this video the dude mentions Pelicans were bottom 5 in 3pt volume... and that's with CJ putting up 8+ attempts per game! Take CJ out of the lineup and we are probably last in the league in 3pt volume. I am a firm believer that we need either CJ or Trey in the starting lineup. A small ball lineup of Murray - BI - Herb - Trey - Zion fits the bill, but that is the only scenario in which it makes sense to move CJ to the bench.

Murray shoots a fair amount of 3s, Murphy also does obviously. We need to bite the bullet and use a weak 1st to move Cj and his terrible salary/cap hit.

We don't need to move CJ at all. Murray is an average 3 point shooter, Trey Murphy is the only guy besides CJ on the roster who is a real 3 point threat (talking volume and accuracy).

Let's try again... I said.. "He's saying a lot of what we've been saying here".. You respond with "not exactly".. Not to be contentious but yes.. He's said a lot of what we've been saying here... exactly. If you want to highlight other issues you have that is fine.

Actually lets not try again. I said what I said try not to get your feelings hurt about it.

[Nichols]

You're embarrassing yourself. Why would my feelings be hurt by you not comprehending so well? "I said what I said" is what ghetto females utter in online blog sites. Do better my boy.

Do we bring T back? Make Zion happy?

As someone that watched more Chicago Sky games than I care to admit, I say no. Maybe she did help him through some tough times, but he seems more locked in since she left. Let's stay with that.

Knicks are sending salary -- including DaQuan Jeffries -- and draft compensation to Charlotte in three-team Karl-Anthony Towns/Julius Randle deal, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski. https://t.co/dP4x8dTvr9

I know there's financial considerations to all of this; but it certainly seems we could have beaten the Knicks offer to obtain Kat

Totally agree. Another mess for griff(one more).

[markid]

Sounds like something that would require us to be a tax team
And the team avoids the Tax, can't be helped.

KAT would be perfect for this team. However, fitting 3 years/$170 million would not be easy. Just to match salary, it would take BI plus another $15 million or so. That would mean Herb would likely have to be involved unless you could convince them to take on CJ as well as BI.

I don't think they'd take BI and CJ.. They'd want BI, and Herb. I personally don't believe Kat is worth BI, and Herb. Though I think he would pair well next to Zion.

I agree.

Yep. I would consider it if it wasn’t for the salary situation and there was a FA we could pursue. If we got rid of Herb without getting the replacement, I don’t think it is worth he and BI. That is your best defender by far that showed a legit budding 3 pt range.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado has agreed to a two-year, $9 million contract extension, with a player option for the 2026-27 season, Vice President of Octagon Basketball, Ron Shade, told @TheAthletic.

Good deal !

[stevemadden504]

Good deal !

Good deal for us, I think he could've gotten more if he tested the market

[DroopyDawg]

RIP Dikembe. Rest easy Deke.
