Seems a little lopsided...

And then...

Pels land Hornets PG Graham in sign-and-trade

Devonte' Graham's new deal with the New Orleans Pelicans is worth $47 million over four years.

Clearly Lonzo wanted out and to be a 'true' PG, so I guess we did OK to get something back rather than go down the Eric Gordon road.

I am hoping/assuming there are more dominoes to fall.

Looks like we added Devonte' Graham in the deal too.... Horray! (sarcasm) He's not a bad player - but I am always weary of guys that lose minutes when another player is brought in - Then are summarily traded.

21 million plus per season for a PG who can't shoot. That contract seems a little bit of an over pay.

Can't shoot?

 

[tjharris]

Can't shoot?

He did improve this past season but Ball is still streaky. He'll go 6 for 7 one night then 1 for 10 the next game. The bulls are spending a lot of money this off season. I guess if you have a plan/vision for Lonzo he can be a good fit in the right system. 21 million just seems like an overpay.

They got a better shooter with a better turnover/assist ration for half the price in Green it seems.

And now the Pels are being investigated for tampering involving the sign-and-trade...

It's probably the Bulls who are being investigated for negotiating a contract with Ball before the start of free agency

Green is not playing for the Pelicans. He was hired as the head coach.

Yeah, that's my bad. Graham, not Green.

I actually think Lewis Jr. Will play a bunch of mintues at the point. Lewis is not a good shooter though

Just a casual basketball fan, but from what I’ve read and heard, someone’s agent announced it 1 minute after the free agency period began.
From what I understand, it’s widely known that “tampering” is constantly occurring, but you need to be smarter as far as announcing it. A “sign and trade” would likely take a bit longer to work out than 60 seconds.

Trade will likely stand, but the Pels will likely be docked some cash and a pick or two.
