PLEASE make the trade down to the Pelicans. It makes perfect sense. NO needs a SF.

Apparently Nobody wants Noel right now.

Pelicans got Noel. Good luck with that.

NO takes Noel. This is a perfect trade swap. NO needs a SF. Maybe this was in the plans??

If Noel stays in New Orleans... wow. That's going to be a nasty pair of bigs.

Hah! It was destined at birth and from his name: Nerlens to Nawlins.

Can't spell New Orleans without NERLENS

SAC just struck gold. Mclemore is a PERFECT fit for them. I like Tyreke and Mclemore as a backcourt.

Liverbird · Post #729 » by **Liverbird** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:13 am

I guess no one will score on them in a couple years.

McClemore would have been nice. I think they were hoping for Len.

Noel gets healthy, nasty combo btwn him and Davis. They both need to beef up though.

That's just bunk. Porter will have no problem defending the 3 in the NBA...the same way Tayshaun Prince has no problems defending the 3.

Prince was a hardened senior. You think Porter at 198 can defend Lebron, Melo, Pearce, Joe Johnson, etc? Those guys will EAT HIM UP.

Who cares if he weighs 198 now? You do know it's possible for a 19 year old to gain weight. He's not going to be 198 forever.

I'm sure by the time he's 23, he'll be big enough for your liking. Sheesh...calm down.

and one other thing. You can chuckle at board melt downs if you like, but as a Boulez fan, we all know this team has turned the entire lot of us into masochists for decades (for the lucky few, maybe just a decade) with bird brained after bird brained decision. even worse, their lottery luck has been non-existent, and as a result, they've rarely had the opportunity to draft and develop a true franchise player, giving the team a chance to actually win something for us in this franchise player dictated league, and yet, with those chances, in '95, in '01, in '10, and now in '13, they've blown the pick every single time save '10. In '95 they actually made the right pick, but of course squandered it soon after in their specialty when not selecting future busts, trading legit finds for other teams garbage.

This was the last chance we'll be able to land a franchise player via the draft on a rookie deal for the forseeable future, probably a decade, and it was just squandered. It was a pick a blind man could of made, but that's too much to ask of E.G.

Porter isn't going to help us at all this year. I have no doubts Noel will be the much better NBA player in the future.

W T F

A lot of rumors that Charlotte loved him over the last 36 hours.

stevemcqueen1 · Post #736 » by **stevemcqueen1** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:16 am

Burke or McLemore at 7?

RustyMagoo · Post #737 » by **RustyMagoo** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:16 am

Fine we can make a sig bet. I bet that Porter will have an impact, and start games this season, and it won't be due to injury.

Deal?

I think the right 7 guys probably went in the top seven. It was just in a crazy ass order.
