I kind of like it for New Orleans. Poole and Bey can be pieces. They are another team like Portland that i can see being in that play-in 7-10 range if all goes well.

Yeah, NO actually is always on the edge of having a promising team, but it all hinges in Zion who keeps crapping the bed.

Besides Zion, some nice pieces already - Murray, Herb Jones, Murphy, Missi, and they will have a top 10 pick. This was an old-for-young move, by adding Poole and Bey to fill in some of the holes instead of older guys. But whether it means anything all depends on Zion, they are subject to his limits.

But what is WAS doing? Are they seeing themselves as making a jump? Yeah they have lots of possible cap room next summer, but are they going to try to win now (if they can) with a veteran core of Middleton, CJ Mc, and Olynyk?
