Checkmate.

The curse continues....

It would have been pretty cool for N.O. to have a guy named Nerlins, but, N.O. has been without a good solid Point Since they lost CP3. I'm very happy about this trade. Woo Hoo!

Philly better hope this trade works out for them in the long run, as I feel they are really gambling. I know what it means to lose a good Point Guard.

good points. Jrue really is good, and young. Never considered the Nerlins/N.O. sound thing, that's great. He's a Greater Boston area kid.

a buddy up here just brought his son home from Tulane after graduation and showed up at my house wearing a Pelicans hat. Love it!

but do the Condors still have the incredible Connie Hawkins?

The 76ers were dumb trading an allstar for an unknown quantity. They could have traded pics for less.

Yeah! The Pelican's logo's are pretty nice. I'm going to have to break down and get some new gear soon.

I only wish we could get the Jazz name back, though. I still have a N.O. Jazz refrigerator magnet that has been transferred to many refrigerators over time. Nothing, and I mean nothing about Utah says Jazz. At least our name/mascot fits the region a bit better now. I still don't know what they will call the former "Honeybees" (dance team) now.

The New Orleans Chicks? Now that would be cool.=d>

it has always cracked me up that they kept Jazz when they went to Utah. I can't think of another state with less in common with jazz than Utah. They should have adopted their old Stars name from the ABA. N.O. and Jazz might have made the most sense of any city and nickname ever, and there are other well linked names.

HA! you should consider hiring me to be your personal batting practice pitcher, just keep lobbing them in. I even hesitated a few seconds before hitting send looking for the opening.
