The boogeyman has spoken.

Yo!!!!!!

Let's get crazy. It's not Trae, but it's beyond a better fit once Ingram goes.

My only hope is that CJ can take a bench role if we don't trade him. Can't extend Murphy to a big deal and continue to have him come off the bench.

Who’s the stretch 5

Jaren Jackson Jr?

 

[whodatbe]

I'd see what Hartenstein is looking for. Wouldn't mind him at the 5.

As for the trade, I like it. Now we don't need to really rush anything. Don't need to have one of the best teams now, just in April.

Jaren Jackson Jr?

Why would a team in the same division and conference send us one of there best guys plus he will be even more important to their team now they have a 7ft 300 lb center sitting around the paint

How has Murphy earned a big contract or is it just because of the potential?

Right now we are only 3 million under the tax with no center (which I found out from Pelicans Report)

I don't think Mrs. Benson will go into the luxury tax unless she is sure we have a contender. BI or CJ (or both) will be moved...I just don't think CJ has enough trade value to get us a needle moving big

As much as people moaned about CJ last year, he still shot 43% behind the line on 8 attempts per game. CJ will be a wanted commodity.

 

[Chris]

Love the move. I'm even more surprised that we didn't have to give up BI to get him. Now you have leverage to get an athletic big in the 5 spot.

Much rather Dejounte over Trae. Which anybody with a brain knew was never going to happen with Willie as coach. Plus they got off Larry and looks like they are making room for Hawkins.

No complaints here. Now just don't overdo it looking for a C.

 

[IlovemySaints]

Many vet teams will want cj Ala bucks
How convinced are y’all cj will accept a bench role here in New Orleans

Tryna trade Brandon Ingram for javale Magee lol

I’m just not seeing this great athletic shooting big everybody calling for can I get some legit names

No surprise to me here. If they can find that common ground in how much BI wants, he'll continue to be a Pelican.

Nothing that I have read directly from the Pels front office has led me to believe that there was a move to get rid of him. Just media & fan speculation.

They still might move him, but it will strictly be because of $$$.
