With the Porzingis acquisition, does it make it more likely that the extend Trae at the max? That's their next big decision.
You lost me at "a healthy Zion"
The way Dejounte ted on the pelicans in his last interview I wouldn't be surprised if he never placed for them again tbh![]()

Curious what Dejounte said. Which interview are you talking about?
I actually kind of think maybe this puts Jaku in play for them. Poole is more of a SG to me, and I don't think Tre or Herb are really SGs (more like combo 3/4s). Jaku would make sense here (though so would Maluach).
Yeah they do need playmaking/initiating. I could see Jaku but #7 seems high for him. I’m banking on Zion, Trey (3.5 APG) and Poole (4.5 APG) sharing the initiating duties in the SL but it’s asking a bit especially considering the injury risk. Agree Poole is a 2 guard on a big PG body but I don’t think they will bench Herb for Poole the defensive drop off will be too much.
Can’t wait for tomorrow tbh!!
Wow, look at that... Atlanta actively trying to improve their team. I was told they were hopeless.
honestly, its very smart management by them. they dont control their next 2 picks anyway
Atlanta looks like they’re trying to do work. Damn it.
Feels like they’re going to take a playmaker like Demin at #13 and then fill out the rest of the team with 2 way players. If they pull off NAW and get Demin then I think they will be pushing for a top 6 seed unfortunately. But who knows, one Trae Young injury and they will be ed.
KP - OO
JJ
Risacher
Daniels
Young
Add in #13 and NAW.
Looks pretty solid NGL.
still have Levert as well who can play
and what if kobe bufkin becomes something. missed almost all of last year with injury. going into year 3
i thought hawks represented Sorber's floor in the draft, but could see them going for Jase Richardson or Cedric Coward now
That Atlanta pick looking worse by the day
I said the same thing last offseason in the Lauri thread.
Pivot interview from a week ago. It's about an hour long. There is a portion of it where he talks about how when he got to the pelicans he had no support system and all the facilities was trash and he had a lot of personal stuff going on in his life with no one to talk to about it.
But almost every former pelican player s on the pelicans. Dyson Daniels had that infamous interview where he talked about how glad he was to be away from that franchise and Tony Allen has that epic "pelicans worst organization in the world" rant on youtube. Just type in tony allen pelicans and I'm sure it's the first video that comes up.
Looking like it's gonna be another offseason of the Spurs doing nothing and running it back.
But hey, adding a healthy Fox, Harper, and whoever we end up with at #14 should make things interesting.
The West is just a beast though. We'll still be lucky to make the playoffs.
Could be a huge reason why Dejounte seems to have changed his tune when he talks about the Spurs. Have seen a definitely from his statements immediately following the trade to now being the guy who shows up to another team's HC introductory press conference![]()
You may end up correct... but tbh the offseason hasn't even started yet. We've missed out on KD and a broken Tingus. Not quite time to declare the world has ended.
They’ve been pretty damn active dude. Fox was the big acquisition, they lucked into a potential future all star in Harper, and are reaping the benefits of an earlier deal which could land them a solid rotation piece (Coward; Sorber).
With the amount of player movement in the last 48 hours it might not be an off season tbh
By this time tomorrow half the players we would have any interest in would have already been traded to other teams
POF 2
Spurs using the off season to actually improve their team 0
It's not just the Trae Young issue.
KP, JJ, OO have all had difficulties staying on the court throughout their careers.
Hawks are a Trae Young high Ankle sprain away from still being a bad team, calm down people
We've literally been saying this since we got their picks and yet we haven't gotten anything of value out of them
The east is so weak the hawks are going to around win 36 games and be the 6th seed![]()
Seriously? That dumb CHA pick was in the Fox deal, and come tomorrow we’ll have a solid role player (Coward; Sober).
They won’t be bad with that roster in the East while Tatum, Dame and Haliburton are basically out for the season.
I'm so confused by these sorts of statements. They traded for Fox in the season. They can't trade for him again. They're going to add the #2 player in the draft and probably another lottery pick. Then they're going to add some size, at least.
What the do you want them to do? What makes people like you happy? Just doing ? Or what?
