The New Orleans Pelicans have done so well this offseason.

let's just forget about all the guys DL's drafted as the Jazz GM that are not named Mithcell or Gobert.

Maybe. Wild FA so far. No one thought Lyles or Collins would've gotten the deals they have.
Explain? Losing Lonzo and adding Graham? What else did they do? They aren’t making the playoffs anytime soon.

Upgraded Adams (2 years $35 million) with JV (1 year $14 million)
Dumped Bledsoe ($21 million this year, at least $4 next year)
Lost Lonzo (4 years $85 million)
Dropped 7 spots in the draft
Lost a top 20 protected 2022 Laker pick
Signed Graham (4 years $47 million)
Still have room this summer or next to use numerous picks and cap space to make a big splash.

It's a good thing because you have a hard on for stiffs and has beens like Udoh and miroshit
So they essentially cut salary, lost a 1st, swapped Adams for Valanciunas and swapped Lonzo for Graham.
That doesn’t scream "killing it" to me sorry man. They are mediocre after all of these moves and will continue to be.

Graham is like 10mil cheaper so they should have the cap space to bring in another helper but yeah, Lonzo is a better player all around.

I think swapping Graham is going to be regarded as an excellent move down the line. They still have a long way to go, but they low key have done well.
Maybe no home runs, but a couple singles and a triple.
That’s what I’m saying. This dude acts like we overpaid Conley but is applauding swapping Lonzo for Graham lmao.

I said they have done so well.
In addition, they have a few young guys they have carved out playing time for now.
They cleaned up their cap situation and are one big addition away from having a really good young core of Zion, Ingram, Graham, their young guys and whoever they add.

One thing that is hilarious is that the one guy that isn't getting overpaid this year is "100M" Schroeder. He turned down a 4/84 extension last year thinking he'd get way more in FA- that's almost Conley money. Maaaaan that blew up in his face.

throw James Ennis in there too.
Who’s the target from here? All the big names are gone this off-season and why would anyone want to go play with them next year?

They are similar. Graham is $38 million less though.

They’re two totally different players lol. Not even close to similar.

The washed up former Laker parade continues. I wonder if Samaki Walker is available.
