The Pelicans made it a priority to outbid other teams for DeAndre Jordan, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer

“Sources with knowledge of New Orleans’ thinking say that the Pelicans re-signed DeAndre Jordan to a two-year deal rather than a mere one-year minimum contract because they were convinced that Jordan had one-year interest elsewhere that he was prepared to accept and did not want to lose the 37-year-old's locker room influence.”

@NickCRadio Why give up an asset to dump Hauser? Hes a damn good player, his contract is a steal, and they’re already under the tax.

@Alaguerre21 @safi_khan10 @mattaknox @JackSimoneNBA @RealBobManning Tatum has already done it

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@DanKelley66 They put something out almost immediately after the trade became official … what are we even doing here?

@RealBobManning Since he was traded philly can only extend him for 1 year, $69 million

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@mattaknox @JackSimoneNBA @RealBobManning If they get out this year it completely resets lol that’s the whole point

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@normal_jake_ Friggin kills me, people think he's gonna be like "Tatum said get him the fuck out of here, and the owners held me at gun point and said dump some salary, so here we are."

The impact you made both on and off the court will forever be felt by the city of Boston and Celtics fans everywhere.

Thank you to one of the all-time great Celtics, Jaylen Brown ☘️

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@NickCRadio 1. Low-mid 30s is perfectly fine
2. This is Pritchard… and he needs to soak up a lot of that usage imo
3. This void can be filled by PG, Hugo, Ron, Baylor
4. More min to go around w JB gone and PG having minutes managed. Calling Hauser streaky is harsh and his gravity is unreal

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@_Njay3 The main thing the Celtics got back was the draft picks… this tweet doesn’t say what the picks were… how can you even compare the offers lol? Also, fuck miles bridges

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@BallUpTopBrad He’s perceived as a lockdown perimeter guy bc he’s a guard but he’s more like an anchor of a defense off ball making as big an impact as anyone outside of like Wemby and Gobert

@DuncanSmithNBA Grizzlies pitch: you don’t have to stay in our hotels if you live here

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@EamonCassels You will! It’s been one day 😂 😭

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@EamonCassels In the short term, that may be true, but we've also won 1 playoff series in 2 years.. so I'm not sure we were close to a title anyway. In the long-term, I definitely see the vision. Still have to nail the next moves, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@EamonCassels And I wouldn't say I'm stoked about PG, but if they can manage his minutes he's still (at worst) an elite role player, and he'll be a massive expiring contract a year from now

[Ben Handler @KingChuddy]

@EamonCassels Hindsight is 20/20 & we'll never know how things may have played out, but Cs maybe thought a half-assed Giannis bid was the best way to soft launch their intentions of a JB sweepstakes. Maybe they lost leverage, but if anyone really wanted him they would have stepped up and paid
