    They have to. Nothing personal, just business.

    I’m good with Hayes. Of the minimum center options, his size and athleticism probably give him the highest ceiling of the guys we could have gotten. Makes sense to bring Thompson back as a third center.

    Does this mean Bamba is gone or are we not bringing back TT?

    I guess TT as the third big. Hayes and AD are both on the slim side. Need more of a bruiser

    I don’t mind Hayes, solid pickup for the minimum.

    But I’d still like Bamba back too? His ability to shoot the 3 would give us some more versatility in our center rotation

    The Pelicans tried playing Hayes and Valanciunas together, not sure how it worked out. Maybe we see some Hayes/AD together lineups.

    Read that after Reaves and Dlo we would only had 2 spots available (we usually don't sign 15 players to give space to a buyout or wtv). Hayes took one, let's see who takes the other. If it's a big would be awesome, but it can be Beasley or another shooter

    I would definitely still sign Bamba. Or Landale, Plumlee, Gabriel. We need bigs to cover AD absences

    Yeah I was just reading some Pelicans fans saying he’s actually better as a 4 than a 5… because he has such low basketball IQ that he’s not great as the last line of defense in the 5 position

    So are we trading for Coby White or Cam Johnson? (7th and 11th)


    Rob really does love him some lotto pick who just hasn't panned out. Pretty sure that's his favorite player type.
