If Mirotic keeps his form then the Pelicans are fine off

I even think Payton could pay off, especially if he cuts his hair

A lot of talk of people saying how this impacted Anthony Davis, as if it would happen behind his back lmao.

I wanted Boogie to stay but mainly because I thought we'd get just a big body to take bumps for AD. We needed someone better than that, as the team is constructed we can't get away with having a big which can't help us offensively.

Randle is much better than I expected we have if Cousins left so I'm less annoyed by it than I would have been.

Well, AD and Randle probably were somewhat close given their alma mater as they're both Calipari's boys. Can't wait to watch them together.

I genuinely think Randle is the best contract right now. Maybe in the league. He's gonna average 20/10 this season imo.

I'd rather have him than Cousins any day of the week next to AD. Randle is better than Cousins on defense by a lot imo, and he's a better ball handler and athlete. Skill level is lacking a lot though. And now that Cousins got injured there's no doubt Randle is better.

I'm just to sad we couldn't fit him in anymore... Sad

That damn Deng contract

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jul 04, 2018 12:55 am

I have no doubt we'll be fine, I'm not really concerned tbh.

One thing people widely underestimate with us is the obscene pace we play at, even with Boogie we were like top 3.

For that reason I do suspect Randle and Payton's numbers will be better than people think.

Well, Lakers played at the same pace as you last season when Randle was a starter.
As a starter he averaged 19/9 on 56%FG

He's also incredibly athletic and can run with everyone.

Pelicans is my 2nd team now Molenation

I left the D'Angelo Russell bandwagon quickly, but this is never ending. Randle is an all star talent.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jul 04, 2018 1:05 am

You play at the same pace as us when Boogie went down? Pretty sure we were significantly higher than everyone at that point.

Well, we played at the exact same pace when Lonzo was healthy iirc. Then we slowed down a bit when he was hurt.

It's comparable imo. Randle knows how to play in that pace. And he's incredible at grabbing the rebound and driving up the floor himself.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him finish 2nd in triple doubles in the league after Westbrook. At least top 5-10.

Lonzo got a triple double his second game in Summer League.

Trae Young is missing more shots than his head is missing hairs

by CBarca Wed Jul 04, 2018 1:21 am

Jabari isn't good enough on defense, had two acl tears, and didn't get consistent starting minutes this season.

Randle just went for, what, $9 million/year?

Unless Jabari is willing to go cheap, he's not leaving. In fact, he's not leaving even then because Bucks will match.

Imo he'll probably take the QO and try for a better contract next year. If not, he matches and stays in MKE. A sign and trade is possible but I think Bucks want to give Jabari another year, especially under a new coach and system.

I'm cool with him staying. I wanna see him healthy under Bud.

Tbh I'm rooting for Trae Young just because it seems a lot of people aren't.

I'm on the Trae hypewagon and I'm not getting off this ride

I do find it interesting how the 2016 spiked *bleep* the whole league up, literally everyone who isn't LeBron is having to take significant pay cuts.

Sad to see Rajon leave AD. They had a great thing going.

Regardless, hope he does well with the Lakers. I'll always be a Rondo fan. Such a fun player

He's a proper C*nt. Gonna be good to have him on my team for once.
Think he's the perfect mentor to Lonzo. If he can pressure him and make him compete for the spot it'll be great.

Lonzo and Rondo are both top 1% basketball minds, and they're playing with LeBron who might be the top 1.

Then there's the other two new signings who might be on the other side of things Laughing

Bill simmons mentioned that they are probably going to cut my man Anthony and then stretch his contract over a couple of years to get that bill down
