I still got Dieng, Ibaka, and Aldridge on my C wishlist list Campazzo, Neto and Augustin on my PG wishlist I'll get my heart broken piece by piece by these scrubs over the next couple of weeks.
He's pretty one dimensional on offense. Basically a great cutter and a good (in small samples) corner 3 point spot up shooter. On defense however he is versatile in the sense he can guard fast quick PG's like Morant to bigger wings like Jaylen Brown.

It’s beginning to look like there are just no big fish to catch in FA anymore. Guys are taking the bigger $ deals to stay with their teams which was the purpose to help smaller markets retain their stars. If the Rockets had their max cap space this year who would they be throwing a deal at? Ayton? Brunson? Bridges? Maybe we look to use the space to just accept back contracts and picks ala OKC.
I just... don't understand. The Pelicans deserve everything that happens to them on the back of this deal.
I don't get it either. You have your core already and you have your star in Brandon Ingraham. Offer Zion a one, maybe two year deal to see where things go. Pelicans had all of the leverage.
