2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Just saw this crazy stat Stein pulled, so went back to his injury announcement over the weekend...

Brutal!

 

You know, purely "internet bro" take on this one but he needs a change in locale. A guy his size who just seems to naturally put on weight needs a LeBron level of dedication to his body and his diet to stay on the floor. That's really tough to do in a town like New Orleans. We used to joke that we gained 5 pounds as soon as we stepped off the airplane there and we were only half joking. Tons of good food. None of it healthy.

 

NO traded Dyson Daniels and he's flourishing in ATL. He's like a pre bonkers Ben Simmons like defender out there - terrific size and athletic ability

 

Needs to be traded to UTAH

 

he needs a change of scenery. i think miami could get more out of him, and i think NO would be better off with a fresh start. i could probably think of several teams that should be willing to take a chance on him and maybe give up something to take a look at him. washington's a team that is just totally ruderless with no real path to a superstar.

 

I don't like this move unless we know we have someone like Schroeder coming back. You're just trading one gap (backup C) for another (losing all your bench scoring).
Dlo needs to be moved if only to make the most of his expiring contract but he's also not a scrub and you need to replace his scoring/PG duties.

 

the contracts would mean that either sexton (my preference) or clarkson would have to come back.

i'll be surprised if this is what's going on, though. probably just coincidence.

 

Clarkson has been trash and he's been unsuccessful basically with any team with playoff ambitions. Sexton/Walker would definitely be more interesting.

Edit: one caveat is that I think Sexton tries on defense but his defensive numbers look pretty bad. Arrgh need to find some 2 way players

 

wouldn't be surprised if he's coached his last game. a stroke at that age isn't something you want to mess with, especially when working two high stress jobs like pop does

wishing him the best

 

No to Robert Williams
If C Bags get rid of him there's definitely an injury related problem.
He averages less than 37 games per season
Hell ,noo

 

We have to prioritize someone who can stay healthy. We don't need another injured guy.

 

Fixed it for you. We’ve already got 2 key ones this year again.

 

Another name from Dave

 

Who is Nic Clayton ?
Is it Nic Clarkson from Brooklyn

 

That's terrible. If he's ready to hang it up, once he recovers, I could see him coaching a meaningless one they make it about all about celebrating Pop. A home game against Utah or Toronto is a good place to start looking.

 

Damaged goods

 

Wembanyama- 50, Towns scored 46 points, Giannis -59, it's Davis turn to score big
