I tweet about sports from time to time. Big Saints ⚜️/Pelicans 🦤 fan for better or worse.


The Pelicans’ top offseason priority is upgrading the center position, but tight books mean any move must come via trade. Names that I have heard are Wendell Carter Jr. and Myles Turner. 🔗Full breakdown on the tactical fit and financial balancing act under Jamahl Mosley: scoopb.com/2026/06/a-new-…


Crazy to think Karlo outperformed Turner in key metrics last season. Rebound %: KM: 13.5% MT: 11.2% Corner 3pt%: KM: 48.9% MT: 43.1% Box Plus Minus: KM: +0.7 MT: -0.9 Win Shares/48 (league avg is .100) KM: .141 MT:.76

Jalen Duren was underwhelmed by the Detroit Pistons’ initial offer in restricted free agency and is planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios, per @sam_amick (nytimes.com/athletic/73969…)

Id rather Karlo for 2.3 mill over Turner for 85mill They both get ya 10 pts 5rebs 2 threes lol lol


@ProPelsTalk @ThePeliPod You do realize that this bunch has rarely been healthy the last two years? Not paying contend for a title, but not as bad as you make it seem

For all #Pelicans fans, there’s still a 7 foot center on the board that Has a higher rebounding % than: - Aday Mara Higher 3pt % than: - Derryn Peterson That player: Henri Veesaar Queen and Zion still need their floor spacing center and the cost here makes a ton of sense



The Boston Celtics are reportedly looking for a big man and are willing to trade Jaylen Brown to acquire one, per @SIChrisMannix “Boston continued to discuss Brown trades on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the talks tell Sports Illustrated. Many of the conversations were initiated by rival teams, sources say. Some were brokered by the Celtics. ‘They are hunting a big man,’ says a rival executive. ‘And they are willing to trade [Brown] to get it.’” (Via si.com/nba/chris-mann…)


All that hype for this shit.
