I'm still a bit worried about all the good guys that left. A few to get Dejounté in, which hurt as Dyson and Larry were awesome to have. It hurts that we lost JV, despite him not actually fitting the basketball style NO wants to play, he was an amazing worker, incredibly reliable basketball player and just a great guy. Most of all it is going to hurt missing Naji. He is a true pelican style player, certainly one of the most tenacious of all pelicans. A creative guy, someone that got other players' backs in every way and someone I am very happy he landed on the Mavs, where he probably will get an increased role, potentially as a starter next to Luka and Kyrie. That said, if we can get a center somewhere that really fits .. and preferably not giving up BI for it, I'm really excited to see this new team with Dejounté in action.

Hawks fan here. You are going to like this guy a lot. I absolutely hated to see him go. Don't be fooled by anyone telling that he is not a good defensive player. Playing with Trae Young, Hawks players are asked to do a little more than they should defensively. He doesn't miss a lot of games and he seems well-rounded off the court. He truly wanted to be in Atlanta which is what bothers me the most. You guys back court is going to be suffocating because Dejounte is a way better defensive player than he showed in Atlanta.

@pinobluevogel6458

21 күн бұрын

Atlanta is a great offensive team, but there are not many players on the roster besides Murray (formerly) that were defensive minded. If you do not have the culture, it can be really hard to cultivate it. At the Pelicans, this situation is reversed, the culture is really defense minded. Part of this is Herb, Naji and Alvarado (and formerly Larry Nance) really firing everyone up, but just having enough defensive talent (like Dyson Daniels) will really help the overall outlook a lot. If Atlanta can make use of both Larry and Dyson, I think you might get to see a few more results. Those players, while not bad on other things, are really dedicated defenders, you will certainly see that in action if they all stay.

No matter if anyone wants BI to get traded or if they want to desperately keep him, the Pels need to wait to at least up his value, let him play into his contract. If they let him run and he plays well, showing the signs of the top player he always was, instead of the bad few games he had coming back from injury at the start of the playoffs, his value is definitely going to increase. There is always time to trade him at the deadline if it is really needed.
