Report: Pelicans have 'shown interest' in Sixers J.J. Redick

The New Orleans Pelicans figure to be in the market in the opening hours and days of free agency as the franchise will enter July with upwards of $22 million in cap space and the need for veterans and holes to be filled.

While many have eyed the center position as the biggest area of need, it isn’t the only area the Pelicans need improvement. And while the on-again, off-again chase of Al Horford remains the potential highlight signing of the summer, David Griffin and his staff aren’t putting all their eggs in that basket.

The other likely biggest area of need on the roster is shooting. While the Lakers’ young core brought much depth to the roster, the lack of shooting is apparent. However, New Orleans may be targeting one of the top shooters in the open market in former Philadelphia 76ers wing J.J. Reduce (less commonly known by his first name, Jonathan).



Redick is one of the elite shooters in the league and one of the most feared and respected as well. With the Sixers last season, Redick averaged 18.1 points per game on 39.7 percent three-point shooting while playing a key role in Philly’s playoff run.

His Synergy profile speaks equally high of the Duke product. He was the 85th percentile in hand offs, 80th percentile off screens and 68th percentile in spot ups. He ranked in the 81st percentile on catch and shoot opportunities and even was in the 94th percentile in pick and rolls in limited possessions.

More than his on-court production, Redick would be a much-needed mentor and adult in the room for a young team. While Holiday is a veteran on the roster, he’s outnumbered by young players and rookies. Having a great teammate like Redick on the roster would be a huge bonus in that regard.

However, it’s likely Redick will be eyeing a spot on a contender and, likewise, contenders will eyeing Redick. Like the Sixers did many years ago, the Pelicans’ best bet at landing Redick would be coming in with a massive one-year deal and, with the holes in the roster, it makes little sense for New Orleans.

But as we’ve learned even following the Horford drama this off-season, things can change on a dime.
 
Theres nothing "super" about D'angelo Russell. And when was the 2nd super team?

Hot Nixon will tell you Michael Jordan didnt have any help. Hes biased against LeBron and gives passes to MJ thats why hasnt commented at all on Jordan's ineptitude as owner that is a big discussion right now in the NBA.







Hey Jordan dickriders of BGOL bashing Bron wont save MJ the next 2 years. CACs that he wants to be so bad want his ass gone in NC. Hes gonna be forced to sell.
 
My outsider prediction is that the top two free agents, KD and Kawhi, stay with their current teams.

That's where all the signs point to me, from KD's mom proclaiming him a "true Warrior" after the injury to Kawhi's Blue Jay fandom. I think most of the rumors are made up. We'll see.

Kawhi was touring Toronto landmarks after the title...if he leaves it would be sort of fucked up

Kind of like heavy flirting for a couple weeks before eloping with her sister.

It's his choice but the heavy flirting leads me to believe Toronto is his girl. He's still on Tinder but I don't see him leaving.

I'm still gonna post this reply even though when I read it back I heard Cowherd's voice and a tear fell from my left eye.
 
Jordan was smart not paying K Walker all that money. The problem with the NBA is that teams be paying for players who are not special. Only a few players in the league deserve a super max contract

I agree with this but if you're bogged down by Nic Batum being overpaid, just for 15 points and 5 rebounds every 30 games or so...you can sign Kemba..
 
No he's not smart overpaying bums like Batum who has a near max contract. Marvin William's is getting 15 mil a year and dude should be playing in the big 3 or China somewhere. A smart GM would trim the fat by getting rid of the overpayed bums & get some talent around their best player.

They have been trying to get rid of Batum for about two years now...no one wants to take on that contract..
 
Who in the hell gonna trade for BIyombo, Batum, Marvin or Gilchrist at them contracts? Someone fucked up somewhere giving them those deals........but you can't fuck up by giving Walker the same shit just because you gave them that. They all about to fall off in 2 years. Just suck now and rebuild. Time to start over. No need to keep fixing a gun shot wound with a band aid.

Thats the thing though..I'm not sure what Kupchak is gonna do, and the drafts have been terrible...I like what I see from Bridges, Bacon, and Graham, (Gomez is pretty good in spurts) but thats about it...I see that George Hill was waived...if im the hornets, im sleeping outside his house..
 
Jordan been rebuilding since he got that franchise. He should have been trying to get rid of or package those bums with draft picks before it got to this point letting Kemba go.

If I was a Charlotte fan I would not have faith in Jordan rebuilding the team.

Nope....I thought Rich Cho was going to be a good GM...I was wrong about that...and I'm not sure if Kupchak can do it either
 
Adam silver is a pussy


All this tampering and he’s allowing it

HOW THE FUCK DOES KYRIE AND KEMBA HAVE DEALS?

HE NEEDS TO VOID THOSE SIGNINGS

Magic gets fined for merely commenting on another team's player, but these dudes have deals in place BEFORE free agency begins? o_O

It's laughable

Praising Giannis and saying he was going to bring Milwaukee a championship one day is supposed to be tampering though. :rolleyes:
 
Bobby Porter my new favorite Wizard. Sent a cac back to Europe. Hopefully the Zards re-sign the young man.
speaking of teams stuck in mediocrity. i wish my wizards would do something. Problem is, all that money committed to Wall and Beale, and THAT BUM MIHINMI (the backup C)

Mark my words.. The league gonna bail him out in the next year or two. Via lottery pick or fishy trade assistance.

Its bad business to have their only black owner and best player ever continue to be inept and have a failing franchise. Its also owed when you have Cleveland win the lottery 4 fucking times in 15 years and NO twice in 7 years.

nah his bail out is he bout to max out Terry Rozier.

The league does NOT want Charlotte getting the #1 pick because they know its a shit franchise and that player won't be marketed properly. The league pirposely avoided giving it to them in 2012 when they had the worst record in league history (7 wins). We talkin bout an owner that has more of his likeness up in his arena than the actual players and who just lowballed one of his shoe brand endorsers. :smh:

Charlotte cacs have already ran 1 black owner out of town and gentrified his existence away. Itll be nothing to do it again. I also dont think the league cares about having a black owner. Its not like they promote him as such or tell you to "be like" him, they market him more as a former player and have always said he sucks as an owner to discourage blacks from ownership. And his stans are too stupid to see it. :lol:
