Around the NBA - New Season, New Thread

[Nostrand Ave]

Didnt Randle always go off when he saw Sabonis

You are correct sir.

They want to move him because he does not play at his best with Zion, they got Murray to help the offense and get Trey/Jones involved, because Ingram doesn't really do that. He's a ball stopper that gets assists simply because he has the ball a lot, and he inexplicably has more touches with the ball than Zion. In the time they've been together he's averaged more touches per game in all but 1 season, that is just crazy.

When Ingram and Zion play together, he drops down to 22ppg, which for a scoring wing isn't someone you want to give max money to. Especially not when he wants the ball more than your franchise player and is a reluctant 3 point shooter, the Pelican fans complain about him passing up threes like we do Hart. You may want Ingram, but so far it doesn't seem like anyone is beating down the Pelicans door to get him, we know for certain that teams were offering 4 first round picks for Mikal when the Nets got him and we gave up even more. As for the playoffs, Mikal was a 4th option and still managed to average 17ppg in that series guarded by Ingram on 55% and 53% from three.

Pelicans were 33-22 with Zion and Ingram last season. Pelicans are better when both of them are on the floor. Not bad if he's averaging 22 PPG 5 APG on 47/38/84 splits.

So far this season it looks like we got a broken Mikal while Ingram is about to have a career year.

They're 145-143 with Ingram in his career and were well under .500 together until last season with him and Zion on the floor. It makes no sense to keep him, which is why they're willing to let him go or trade him.


So far? It's one game

Again they only want him traded because they have cheaper wings. Not because of his play. Him and Zion were very good with each other last season.

Preseason and 1 game Mikal has been awful on both ends. Let's see if he keeps it up. Mikal has never had a season where he was better than Ingram either way. Ingram is 5x the player he is. We'll see how they look by the all star break.

They want to trade him because he needs the ball more than Zion, even in their opener his big game comes without Zion He has the ball more than Zion, that will change when he's gone, Murray a PG will have it the most then Zion, then the wings who space the floor for Zion. It's because they fit better.

Mikal is more sought after, just because you're more talented doesn't mean you're a better fit for a team. Dame is more talented than Jrue, the Bucks probably wish they still had Jrue instead. Also, you're saying Ingram is better like Mikal and him make equal money, he makes $14 million more than Mikal.

Mikal being sought after doesn't mean much if this is the version of him we're getting.

Anyways this is all moot. Why the Kings got Wale doing the half time?

I'll just check the boxscore and draw conclusions from that.

-2

The starting 5 only has 7 total assists and Antman has taken 7 threes, looks like Randle ball is in full effect. I cannot wait for passes per game stats to drop and we can check them vs last year, can't wait.
