@nick_underhill AK and the Saints agree to terms?!?!

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@LoganPAdams BPM is dependent on the players on the floor with you (and against you). I doesn’t measure you. It measures the group. It’s a wide angle lens instead of zooming in on one player.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@just_adavis None, which I believe is your point. The Pels have to run it back and hope for internal growth, possibly enhanced by the new coaching staff.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@ProPelsTalk Come on! There is no move. Joe is just going to pronounce the same guys as tougher now.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@NOLAJake For the record Jay, are you Ok with the these “go get your guy“ moves:

Trading Indy 26 1st for Indy’s 25 1st days before Indy’s 25 season ends?

Trading their 26 1st unprotected for #8 in 25?

Trading expiring contract of CJ & Olynyk for Poole?

Picking up Hawkins option year?

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@SGMAN31 @ProPelsTalk Yes it is!

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@SGMAN31 @ProPelsTalk No, the issue is the FO didn’t find a creative way to stay within the 1 year vet minimum rules, like a player option for the second year.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@FearTheBrown Oh and why fully guarantee both years? Why not just make the 2nd year something less that is allowed under vet minimum contracts?

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@FearTheBrown So this is an after the fact lie based on DJ’s deal being done so early in free agency?

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@DaquavisRondo @ProPelsTalk If you look in Shamit’s original post you will see that I said this before my post above:
The above is enough to say the Pels have by far the most amateur Front Office in the NBA. Now add trading expiring contracts CJ and Olynyk for Poole, who is useless & has a longer contract.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@DaquavisRondo @ProPelsTalk It’s not the absolute dollars but the cap space they would have gained. That cap space has real value beyond the dollars saved. It could make the difference between trading a player into the Pels‘ cap space & that trade either giving the Pels a quality player or draft capital.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@FearTheBrown The above is enough to say the Pels have by far the most amateur Front Office in the NBA. (I don’t see either of the first two as minor.)

Now add trading expiring contracts CJ and Olynyk for Poole, who is useless & has a longer contract (and some minor assets that worked out).

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@ProPelsTalk Yes, but Jaron is shooting 27% on FGs in Summer League on an admittedly small sample size.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@DillySanders Because the Pelicans’ Front Office has proved once again that they don’t know what they are doing?

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@ProPelsTalk This should never be a starting lineup. And who is Evan Sidery and what does he know about the Pels. (My answer? Not much.)

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@NOLAJake But is the 2nd year fully guaranteed?

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@ProPelsTalk He can’t stay on the floor at the Summer League level.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@atacostsubstack Mac, sorry to see you go (from basketball) on Twitter, as usual.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@atacostsubstack @ProPelsTalk Certainly safest.

[ewbsoccer @ewbsoccer]

@ProPelsTalk Dickerson will never be an NBA player.
