The New Orleans Pelicans still don't have a starting center but there are plenty of other names to be had in a Brandon Ingram trade. Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr from the Houston Rockets are good, young trade targets. Or the Pels could get Nikola Vucevic from the Chicago Bulls. Plus, Jake Madison explains why Yves Missi is not going to be like Jaxson Hayes.

Willie would not play JV in crunch time. Would not. You either fire Willie or let JV go. But there’s no point in paying a player to ride the bench with the game is at stake. I love JV. I wish Willie would figure out a way to use him, but he won’t. That’s all.

I would hate to trade Brandon Ingram for huerter, Vuc, and 1-1st. Vuc = Val and green wouldn’t play him. We let a guy walk, then we talk about trading for guys that are equal or worse. I don’t get that. If BI’s trade value is that diminished I would just keep him and let him walk after next year. I don’t feel like any of the trades make us a better team.

I know he had a bad playoff series but less not forget he was coming off injury!! Also remember what he did in playoffs 2 seasons ago against Phoenix!!

@taylor_m_237 3 месяца назад

Yhe problem is the salary situation. If he would come back at 3 year 95mil think we would and trade CJ for a center. It's the 208 over 4 that we are worried about. We can't afford to lose him for nothing and we don't have a center.

@GewSpeaks 3 месяца назад

I know this is a hot take. And believe me, I come from a place of being nerdy about salary cap stuff. But honestly, the Pelicans should not be prioritizing Trey Murphy over Brandon Ingram for the longterm. The Pelicans will make the playoffs with more regularity if they have 2 of 3 healthy at all times between Dejounte B.I. and Zion. You need 2 of those 3 year round. That’s a core, with Herb Jones, that will allow ownership to see what this fan base can grow into. We need to be a consistent playoff team. The 3 and D skill set Murphy brings is far more replaceable from the draft (Knect went 17, Murphy went 17), than what Ingram brings. And Murphy will be extremely expensive to retain next offseason. Murphy has never handled starters minutes for a full season, and has already torn his meniscus once. They are treating him like he’s a young Klay Thompson. It’s obscene. 13:47

@milaanoscool2660 3 месяца назад

you dont know the reason they need to and want to trade BI do you?

@GewSpeaks 3 месяца назад

@@milaanoscool2660 they say he doesn’t fit with Zion, and he’s gonna make 205 mil over 4 years. But Trey Murphy, if he blossoms this year, next offseason, is going to get offered a massive amount of money. Upwards of 34 mil a year. (See what happened to Allen Crabbe and Otto Porter years ago, teams will make the Pels pay a massive amount for Trey) The Pels think it makes sense to keep the pieces that give them one lineup with a great net rating. But the truth is, you need enough guys you can play through to even make the playoffs in a vaunted western conference. And you can get another 3 and D guy to play instead of Trey, and that lineup will do great.

No no, not Vuc. Have a Bulls friend who knows he constantly underperforms and can't believe they still have him on the books. I don't need a worse Jonas, will just be used the same, I think. Appreciate the work you do in looking at options!

@TheVP_SSBU 3 месяца назад

My issue with Vooch is that if you really let go of JV because of rim protection and spacing issues being a priority for the next 5 man, he doesn't help either of those. He's not a plus defender by any means, and although he's averaged over 4 3pt attempts per game while in Chicago, he also only last hit over 34% of those shots in a season 4 seasons ago. He just gives you another JV, with a little more playmaking chops and the illusion of outside shooting volume, which is not what it's needed.

@judarod1 2 месяца назад

Im a Rockets fan, and a lot of us wanted Ingram. He moves the needle for us as an experienced Scorer but the Rockets love Sengun whom the Pels asked for. Sengun is a solid post-player and doesnt fit the personnel we have. We need mobile, defensive big that can shoot. Sengun cant shoot. But hes a wizard on passing w/ a strong post-presence. He will demand the offense to be built around him. Thats why he dorsnt fit with the Rockets. But amyway...we heard the Rockets turned down Ingram because he's injury-prone and the most he played since his rookie season is 62 games. Thats whats scaring teams away from trading for him. And he's due a max contract now and can only give you 62 games or less a season. Thats why the Pels want to get rid of him UNLESS he take a smaller max pay which I dont think he'd do.

@JosephRomanick 3 месяца назад

I doubt we could get Jabari Smith but that would be hugeeeeeeeeeeee for Zion and Missi, just off the fact J. Smith shoots more 3’s and he’s more or a 4 than Markennen… I know he’s a 4, but I almost watch and see him as a 3… either way they both pair well with Zion because less dribble dribble shimmy dribble pop … if we can add a few less dribbles per shot… I think that’s a plus for this roster… is there a stat for time per shot… like who holds the ball the longest on this team

So the Pels went into the draft knowing they don't have a starting Center on the books, yet they draft an inexperienced Center that needs development. And that's with DaRon Holmes and Filipowski both on the board as more ready players, both with stretch capability. Baffling. Of course that's not Yves fault. I wish the kid well. And he very well may become a solid player, in time.
