2019 NBA Summer Free Agency/Trades

[cato]

I don’t understand why Kevin Durant would want to play for the Brooklyn Nets. He could have gone to any team in the league and he chooses the Nets?? I don’t get it.

He’s choosing who he wants to play with.

Kyrie and Jordan — seems like a good move to me.

[UrinalCake]

Zion gets the floor spacer he needs, plus a real veteran to help mentor him and guide him along the way, teaching him to take care of his career and his body. Love it for both of them!

[Dukehk]

Zion ad JJ! What a combo.

Would love it if they got Horford as well. He could really be the perfect mentor and role model for young Zion.

JJ Redick
Zion Williamson
Brandon Ingram
Jahlil Okafor
Frank Jackson

And Trajan Langdon is the GM.

JJ Redick to New Orleans! Cameron South!

My new favorite team!

Up there with my home town Pistons having Grant Hill and Christian Laettner.

Yes, but with most players, particularly the elite ones who can pick and choose, it’s usually about much more than just who they will potentially play alongside. It’s also about the coach, the GM, the owner, the organization, the fanbase, the city, the tradition of the team, the player’s personal connection to the area, etc.

Kevin Durant to the Nets is a real shocker to me, whether Irving and Jordan are there or not.

Can’t believe Milwaukee unwilling to pay Brogdon and sending him to....Indy! Oladipo and Brogdon are a crazy good defensive backcourt and sneaky good offensively.

JJ Redick
Zion Williamson
Brandon Ingram
Jahlil Okafor
Frank Jackson

And Trajan Langdon is the GM.

Any truth to rumor they're changing their names to the New Orleans Brotherhood?


Wonder what the historical record is for the most players from one school is on an NBA team.

Seriously though, hope it works well, or we're all going to be hearing about it.

JJ Redick
Zion Williamson
Brandon Ingram
Jahlil Okafor
Frank Jackson

And Trajan Langdon is the GM.

And they all (other than Trajan of course) could conceivably be on the court at the same time.

[roywhite]

Geaux Devils!

[DangerDevil]

Any truth to rumor they're changing their names to the New Orleans Brotherhood?

I heard the change was going to be the Blue Orleans Brotherhood!

[brevity]

The Pelicans are dropping Kentucky players almost as fast as they are adding Duke players.

Woj: "Free agent Julius Randle has agreed to a three-year, $63M deal with the New York Knicks"

Darius Miller is still in NOLA, but he's an unrestricted free agent.

Meanwhile, Elton Brand and the Sixers are retaining Tobias Harris (5 years, $180M) and Mike Scott (2 years, $9.8M). I thought there were Philadelphia fans here. Was it just about Redick?

[hsheffield]

we've been planning a Fall trip to NO for a while-but now we really have a reason to go!!

anyone have any ideas about how to get Pelicans tickets?

(we've never been to an NBA game before)

[miramar]

And they all (other than Trajan of course) could conceivably be on the court at the same time.

This would be something like Felipe, Matty, and Jesus Alou playing in the outfield together for a few games for the SF Giants back in 1963, plus batting one right after the other one time (even though they went 0-3).

Maybe they could do it in Charlotte.

And in a few seconds you will see a screaming Zion ad while wearing the Pelicans uniform.

I just wonder if this is Photoshop or if he screamed one time with his new duds.

I'd love a New Orleans Blue Devils T-shirt... if you violate 2 copyrights do they cancel each other out?

[BD80]

... I thought there were Philadelphia fans here. Was it just about Redick?

Yes. Insert WC Fields quote ...

I'd love a New Orleans Blue Devils T-shirt... if you violate 2 copyrights do they cancel each other out?

Yes. It is called the really unfair use doctrine. Popular in California courts, but nowhere where they apply logic or reasoning.

That would be cool. I’d wear it.

Realistically, Jackson and Okafor aren’t going to play much.

[brlftz]

Realistically, Jackson and Okafor aren’t going to play much.

I think you’re wrong on both counts. Jackson looked promising last season and has a bright future, and I’m willing buy into the Jah I saw in that photo with Vernon
