Going to be a lot of can't comment on a legal situation etc today.

Agreed with both of these

Looking forward to checking out all of the content afterwards. Clifford's saying all of the right things thus far.

Whew boy

So Mark Williams will be getting Swarm minutes while the Hornets go 27-55, got it

"Mickey's Special Surprise - the Cody Martin thread"

Nice to see that KO knows this

Interested to see how Clifford views Kai

Only quote I could find:

I think Clifford is going to run the vets in the ground when we need to play the young guys. But that's on Mitch and the FO for keeping Oubre, Plumlee, and Hayward around, of course Clifford is going to start those guys. If we didn't have LaMelo and his positive energy, this would be the lowest, most bleakest franchise in professional sports, including EPL

Sounds like typical Cliff. Says a lot of reasonable and insightful stuff, but obviously favors mediocre win-now vets over the chance at developing young guys with meaningful minutes.

I don't expect to see much of Mark Williams until after the new year. Don't expect to see Kai or Bouk at all.

everyone saying the right things
- kelly wants to play defense
- terry in best shape ever
- bouk happy to have a coach who believes in him
- dsj happy to have a team that wants to develop him
[note: one of these 3 - not terry - will be out of the rotation to start. lets see how happy they are then. it wont be cody, cause cliff is gonna love cody]

After what Mitch said after he canned Borrego about him wanting to see the young players get minutes I'm sure that was drilled in Cliffords head when he got the job. If Mark, Kai, Bouk, etc are ready and good enough I firmly believe they will get minutes.

Bouk looks huge. Like same size as Oubre/LaMelo huge

Zion and Harden are in incredible shape. Zion looks like a different person entirely. Yikes

Zion is in ridiculous shape. I'm jealous of Pelican fans

Yeah he does, Bouknight looks like he's 6'6 at least. I hope Clifford wasn't blowing smoke up our asses about him being a two-way player and he was actually being honest. If so Kupchak might end up hitting on another pick.

And yeah the Pelicans are winning 55 games this year if Zion stays healthy. He's about to dominate the weak West.

So I guess they watched a lot of film of Harden?

If I have to read one more time Clifford talking about playing balanced basketball what a f***ing joke
