The New Orleans Pelicans

It seems Davis will miss more games due to a concussion. Very unfortunate for the young man who has had a tough season.
 
Tremendous game from Ant Davis tonight: 59pts and 20rebs by shooting 24-34.
 
Eric Gordon is shutdown for the season following a surgery to repair a fractured finger.
 
So, some romours were announced that New Orleans Pelicans are going to make a 1,1 million $ deal with Donatas Motiejunas.
 
Demarcus Cousins will wear #0 with the Pelicans. Omri Casspi was also welcomed and it seems that he will not be waived for now. Before being traded, Casspi was on the mend from a hamstring injury. I'm hoping he gets to see action with the Pelicans.
 
Solomon Hill expected to be out for 6-8 months after hamstring surgery. This opens up a major opportunity for a guy like Darius Miller, unless QPon can somehow get and stay healthy.
 
At half time, DMC and AD have 20pts each. Combined for forty of the 69pts that the Pelicans scored against the Bulls.
 
Former journeyman E'Twaun Moore just smashed his previous career high exactly a week after setting it with 36 crazy efficient points in tonight's loss to Houston. He was 15-20 overall, and 6-8 from three. You really can't help but root for this dude.
 
Cousins is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles.

Shame for both him and the Pels. It could cost him a huge payday, too.
 
Gentry should ask himself is this injury on him? he plays DMC 37 mpg or more this month, i still remember AD got sprained ankle in game vs Nuggets, but gentry puts him back in game and he continues playing with pain on his face, there is something off with this organisation, its no wonder they have so many injuries...
 
Very sad that we most likey have seen DeMarcus Cousins best days already. Historically no player coming back from this injury has ever outperformed his pre injury play and almost none have even played at a very high level after coming back.
The odds are extremely stacked against him but at 27 maybe he can buck the trend.

A possible comparison can be made with the career of Elton Brand.

Brand. 28 years old at time of injury
Cousins 27

Brand prior to injury 8 years 606 games played 38.3 Min. 20.3-10.2-2.7. 51%

Cousins. 8 years. 535 games
32.3 Min. 21.5-11.0-3.2. 46%

Brand after injury parts of 9 years
452 games 25.8 Min 10.0-6.3-1.2. 49%

To be fair, Brand's numbers were extremely limited by playing with a ballhog like Lou Williams. He was also fairly undersized. He was still effective enough to have averaged 18-20 for the first three years of his contract at the very least.

I think Cousins can still be dominant, just not as mobile or explosive as he once was. Which is a shame because he has really taken his game to another level these past few years.

You might have a point about Gentry, PeraCar.
 
The potential deal that would have Nikola Mirotic be acquired by the Pelicans stalled due to Mirotic's contract for 2018-19 season -- to be exercised by the player. Pelicans trying to compensate for the loss of Cousins with this one by shedding Asik's contract then player injury exemption from the cap.
 
I wonder if they would trade for DeAndre? Or just not even bother to salvage the season?
 
Emeka Okafor starting tonight. If we ask him, it was not easy getting back into the NBA rotation.
 
probably not happening but the trade the Brow chant is strong. Thoughts?
