Seriously - this deal makes zero sense to me for the Pelicans.

Okafor doesn't work with Embiid... so the team that has Anthony Davis is trading for him?? WTF??!?!?

AD is a PF..They need a center who is a threat..Embiid is the Sixers franchise center..

Love leads Cavs to the win in OT after Lebron fouled out.

Crap! K-Love looks like he's ready to go on a tear until the trading deadline.

Pelicans interested in Okafor? Another team that makes no sense. Sad!

If the Pelicans are giving up a 1st, O'Quinn and Lee could top an Okafor trade.

meant to post about the same earlier. What in the world do the refs see in Harden that they ALWAYS need to call a foul on his defender no matter what? I don't get it

Did y'all not see the ref that called it? Tony Brothers is an awful ref and wouldn't be surprised if he took kickbacks. I feel like the guy regularly screws the Knicks over.

Connect the dots, he dies? Now of all times? I think MSG has he "Offed", A distraction move from the whole Knick debacle!
Serves as a warning also to our "Fabulous" Melo as well.
Don't pouch with Little Jimmy!!!!
Big message, very big!

C Ajinca ($4mil) and SG E'Twaun Moore ($8mil) were kept out of the Pelicans last game for 'personal reasons' so, the likely deal is those two and their first rounder for OK4. For us this isn't great as it rules out Sixers as a dumping ground for Crawford if we end up doing the Clippers deal.

Former Syracuse 7-footer and Boston Celtics first-round pick Fab Melo died in his home country of Brazil.

Melo was found dead at his home in Juiz de Fora, in the state of Minas Gerais, Military Police in Brazil confirmed. Melo went to bed on Friday night and was found dead Saturday morning by his mother, authorities there said.

There was no immediate word on cause of death.

"We don't know the cause yet. It's so hard right now, so hard to believe. It's a sad, sad day."

"He was a really good kid, and it's not fair that he will be defined by one thing: a 10-page paper," a shaken Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim told ESPN. "He worked his tail off to become a really good player and was a nice kid.

NCAA's investigation of Syracuse academic program included the legitimacy of a paper that Melo wrote while at school. The NCAA suspended Boeheim for nine games and imposed harsh sanctions to Syracuse as the result of that investigation.

Melo, 26, was playing professionally in Brazil, as he had been the past few years.

He spent two seasons playing for Boeheim at Syracuse and was part of the Orange team that went 34-3 and 17-1 in the Big East in 2012.

Melo averaged 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in the 2011-12 campaign. He was suspended twice during the season -- once for three games during the regular season and again for the NCAA tournament due to academics. Melo's academic eligibility was also part of the NCAA investigation in which the Syracuse program self-imposed a postseason ban for the 2014-15 season.

The Celtics selected Melo with the No. 22 pick in the 2012 draft, one spot after they landed Jared Sullinger.

While Sullinger emerged as a key contributor for the Celtics, Melo is remembered as one of Boston's first-round whiffs. Melo logged just 36 minutes in six appearances during his rookie season and spent much of the year with the Maine Red Claws of the D-League.

The Celtics traded Melo to the Memphis Grizzlies in August 2013, and he was waived soon after. Melo signed with the Dallas Mavericks before the 2013-14 season but was waived before the start of the regular season.

Jokic has been impressive. He's moved ahead of KP in the 2015 draft class. Lack of development from KP, Jokic is turning into an amazing all around player. The assists are what impress me most.

see this is the kind of crap that briggs says that lets us know to take any draft or FA pickup rants with a grain of salt.
I'd trade jokic for quite a few players in the NBA

Thats fine--but I wouldnt trade him at 21. There might be better players but not better value from the age group. The only guy worth is Lebron because youd almost be assured to go to two finals.

By the way if we did what I suggested last year and take it easy in free agency unless we could get Crabbe--wed have Curry Christian Wood Derrick Jones and an additional 30mm in cap. We blew a huge load on players not worthy of that kind of outlay
