Running it back and landing Wendell Carter Jr.
How many wins do you pencil in?
👑 Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson@ScoopB
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-…

@saintspelican23 I’ve always been surprised at how Karlo doesn’t seem to be shaken when taking 3s, especially in situations, where if he misses, he may not play the next game or 2. Really promising minutes this past year. Still like a 10-15 min guy though unless he improves on the defensive side
English
Wow
And these numbers agree with the eye test too lol
Brandon Penton@BePenton
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

If the Pels decide to explore, potential roster:

Zion
Queen
Duren

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…)

@Not___KC They’ll be a top 2 seed when they move over to the East in 2 years

$: 14 mil - escalating to 20+ beginning 2027-28 season through 2030.
- 30% from 3 over past 2 seasons (76 gp out of possible 164)
- defense has fallen off a cliff since 23-24 All Defense season
- Pels need to pivot from one-dimensional players
English
The New Orleans Pelicans have a talent problem
Their team is stacked with players either underperforming contracts or being one-dimensional.
Players that the Pelicans should be aggressively trying to move.

The off-season has only just started but I have the Pelicans as 14th out of 15th (sorry Kings), in their current state.
To reach 10 is a big climb. To reach 7 even tougher.

Let’s say they run this same team back. How many games are you expecting them to win with “great”health?
David Faerber@DavidFaerber
@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

Pels should’ve made big moves around the draft
English
We’re at pick 42, and the Pelicans management could make an easy move to acquire a 7’ shooter (Veesaar) with a higher rebounding percentage than the best center in the draft (Mara)
Brandon Penton@BePenton
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
English
@ProPelsTalk @celtics But then Justin, who would set picks for the new Laketown Squadron, I think Jaylen Brown would disrupt chemistry 🧪 ⚛️
English
What if I were to tell you that the Pelicans have a trouble double threat every single night in the G league. Is that something you might be interested in @celtics ?
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
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…)

Plantilla de New Orleans Pelicans 2026/2027 a día de hoy.
No se mejoro. No se empeoro.
Seguimos en el nivel de mediocridad constante del Over/Under 29.5.
PD: Estoy asumiendo que la opción de Matkovic se aceptara (O se renovara) y la de Kevon Looney se rechazara.

Keep your Pelicans ticket sales representative in your thoughts.
It’s gonna be a lot of rough phone calls from now until October trying to sell this team to this town.
Justin@ProPelsTalk
All that hype for this shit.

@DillySanders What you hear is the crowd going wild for Trey Murphys 15th 3 that brings the Pelicans to within 30pts. Tough scene for the Pellies
English
Nate Ament will not be a Pelican, I think I hear celebrating in the streets of New Orleans
