The New Orleans Pelicans are trading CJ McCollum, Kelly Olynyk and a future second-round pick to the Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey and the No. 40 pick in this year’s draft.
NOLA trying to find the “right guy” to pair with Zion and CJ is too old for that squad. Washington almost done hitting reset after the inexplicable Poole deal they gave out. After next season they’ll have a grip of space. Not sure who will get paid to play there but a least a couple dudes will lol.
Would love to nab Olynk from the Wizards, one of the few teams that takes Rob’s calls…
Olynyk has long been on my Most Coveted List
I thought Olynk as well for his motor and his physical play. My list for Laker centers for coming season are Brook Lopez, Mason Plumlee and Jaxson Hayes….I havent thought about how to do it, but it’s my lineup “proposal” and I have low regard for proposals….(Lopez played 80 games this past season, Plumlee played 74, and Hayes was Hayes….high energy, and chemistry with Luka.
Probably take our 1st rounder and his deal expires (which is why Washington wanted it).
No thanks on Kelly Jamie, in his prime he was a mediocre defender. That’s why he has come off the bench for most of his career. Now he is a traffic cone on defense. You could blow by him. At my advanced age I could blow by him. Yes he can give you 38% from 3 on 1.8 attempts a game but other than that he’s washed.
Good passer, good team guy, maybe just wait for the inevitable late-season waive scenario…
Jordan Poole is not the right guy to pair with Zion, and Zion isnt the right guy to build around…..IMHO they should look to move Zion.
FA = Plump Behind is nicer terms, lol.
Buncha dudes who don’t move the needle on 2 non-playoff teams.
Wizards and Pelicans trade???……Slow news day…..Ukraine/Russia….Iran/Israel/Trump…ICE isn’t a hot topic in media…Robotaxi rides in Austin flat rate fee for now $4.20….Elon and his 2 best friends…Ketamine and ecstasy…. slow news day…
Hahaha! Man, that is too funny. But you are so right – slow news day.
