All I could think about was Ja shooting less than 40% in the 4th

Got it going? He went 2-3 lol

We play good against good teams like bucks celtics nugs and grizz even with wb

We play like s*** vs teams like poocers okc rockets and even the injured wolves last night.

I think were gonna surprise a lot of ppl in the 1st.

Also we prob lose game 1 cuz its a bron team just dont freak out.

Talking past few games

I'm not sold, he's been a streaky player all season and has bad shot selection.

In the playoffs, when the game slows down, Lonnie is better suited for halfcourt offense because he can score at all three levels and he's the superior player in transition. Beasley is too one dimensional and he's not even great at it.

Beas can get hot tho, I think lonnie should take tbjs mins tho.

You right, I just think Lonnie would bring more consistency. Like you know what you're getting. with Beasley, you don't know if he's gonna go 2-10 or 7-10. He can get hot, but he can also shoot you out of a game.

Lonnie is too small to take over Troy's minutes, theres like a 2-3 inch difference in height and wingspan. We already saw how using too many small players to guard bigger wings goes. We'd be trotting out 6'1, 6'4, 6'4 off the bench with Rui being the biggest player at 6'8.

Okay
We still gonna cook them

66.66667%

No more Gabriel… We need Mo Bamba get comfortable backing up AD. Gabriel is strictly a hustle player and end of the bench guy

We need more DLO in the 4th. I was annoyed with him sitting out. He can play the 2 if you want Dennis in the game….

I’m almost at the point of wanting to see Lonnie off the bench over Beasley. Beasley is only good at one thing: shooting and he’s been hit or miss. I think Lonnie can just offer a lot more all around as Reaves backup. Lonnie has been a better shooter too. We could use his energy

We might see some minutes in the first round for Shaq Harrison. Could see DLo play more of a 2. Harrison is a defensive specialist on PG. Throwing Dennis and Shaq on Morant sounds like a good idea

forgot about Shaq, doesnt sound bad in theory but i doubt he gets any minutes. he can't shoot and that doesn't help his case.

they'd have to go really small to get him minutes and our size is one of the things we have going for us in this series

Do you think we could trade Beasley for a 1st? His salary should he used to pay Reaves

wouldn't be surprised if they package beasley, bamba + our pick for a player, assuming we can trade this year's pick.

Who? Jeanie buss is cheap

I like this well rounded team. I think Mo Bamba has so much unrealized potential…. We always draft good too, be nice to add a young rotation player. Rookie contracts are cheap. DLO is prolly going get 20m , Reaves 15m… that’s like a 3rd max. Plus you have the two max spots in Lebron, AD…. Don’t forget Rui could bust out and get paid. Jeanie is cheap so I don’t see us trading talent for a true star. What star do you think this could be?

Update OP with Shaq and Tristan

TBJ gets minutes because he’s a better defender than Lonnie

Pelicans take the L. That’s all folks!

They won the trade!!!
Pels won

wouldn't be a star.

jerami, hield, OG are a few names. either way, he's definitely gone unless he absolutely lights it up in the playoffs. they're not about to pay $16 mill for a guy getting 10-15 minutes a game in the playoffs.
