Maybe we get adventurous and include PJ but get Markannan and a reserve PG. It’s getting crowded boys. Plus you’re telling me we’d bring Rozier off the bench behind Hayward? That’s trouble.

I like that we’re exploring ways like this to improve. Graham is just too expensive versus his value. Others love him? Great, let’s try to find players that can help us.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Whelp, I guess not. Looks like they decided to cut us out.

I hope we don't sign Graham for what he is rumored for. He isn't worth that contract. If this deal fell apart, hopefully we can still S&T him somewhere else.

Guess we're matching Graham and deal him later

Maybe we're still involved.

That's poor value for Ball. And this trade makes NOP worse.

Pelicans would of been better off letting Ball walk for free... doesn't make any sense.

Agreed. Seems like they panicked and "needed" a way to not lose him for nothing
