Supposedly ( O'Conner ) the Pels might be willing to let their 1st go for someone taking on Asik

Actually, I think Joerger is far better about playing the youngins than Elston. I don't know what the hell Elston is doing. Brings back Fox with only 2.5 minutes to play and Jackson with 30 seconds?
Hey Elston, did you get the memo about playing the youngins?!!! Take a freaking timeout to get them into the game!
Elston might be playing for wins.
He saw how much Scott Brooks’ 2-0 record as Kings coach did for his career.

He doesn't know that the two or more vets need to be rested each game. Rest them. They are tired. They played so much in the first half that they need to rest most of the 2nd half. Give most of the time to Jackson, Hield, Bogs, Papa and Fox.
Okay, this made me LOL!
But Asik is making like $11M, do they really want to take on more money, or do they want to salary dump Asik?
It's not written in stone. AND it was with WCS, Skal, Malachi and Mason available. Sorry, but I think you're wrong. I'm pretty happy with the blend I'm seeing right now.
And how many, Zach? I didn't hear you the first time. Or the second time. Or the third time. From Sacramento.

It's fun to watch these guys enjoy playing together.

Here is the tweet I was referencing : https://twitter.com/kevinoconnornba/status/958413740067598336
"What also doesn't make sense is I'm hearing the Pelicans have been trying to dump Asik with their first—not trying to get value back (like Mirotic). Why don't Bulls deal Mirotic for value to another team, then absorb Asik into cap room and get the Pelicans first? Weird situation."
Yeah, that sounds like the Pelicans want a salary dump, so I'm not sure they'd be interested in Hill. Three-ways can always happen, but there's no obvious reason to showcase Hill to New Orleans, at least from that info.
Guys - you're gonna make my eyes bleed. It's the game thread. Please don't make it a trade thread.
Sorry, some of us are just ADD enough to want to talk about whatever kind of comes up!

Didn't mean to tie it to Hill. Sorry for the confusion.

Meanwhile, back on the court, I still think Koufos is better inside on garbage detail than a lot of folks give him credit for.
Koufos is invaluable talking on defense. Our guards would get smashed by picks if Koufos weren’t as vocal as he is. It’s the kind of thing you can’t pickup on TV, but makes a massive difference on the court.

I think there's an element of Grant not being able to fall back on the whole ask Jerry about French Lick (or Bob McAdoo) thing that makes things fresher.

Agree with this but for the life of me I don't understand the Jerry haters

I don't hate Jerry but I do feel like Grant and Jerry as a duo bring out the worst in each other. When Jerry is with the G-Man or doing studio work, I feel like he's an asset.
So from the end-of-quarter highlights it looks like I missed ANOTHER Fox putback dunk? Holy moly.
