NBA 2025 Offseason Thread - where mediocrity lives. Now with more NBA Draft

[fidstar]

Have been gifted tickets to the NBA NBL fan night Saturday, have the Pelicans announced whether they are sending out a full strength squad or not?

Last time Pels had a full strength squad MJ was playing....





























for North Carolina.

Add in all the guys on new contracts that can't be moved pre-December 15th I think it's only Durant, Sengun, Thompson, Eason & Sheppard we can trade currently.

I figured disabled player exception would open the cap up. Insane that it doesnt. They probably just need to stay with what they have. Nothing youd want to trade away

Damn I bet no one told Zion if he missed 2 free throws in a row he could get a free cheeseburger.

Went to the fan night as was gifted 2 tickets for my birthday, didn't have huge expectations going in as I didn't think many if any of the Pelicans players would be involved but it was a fun event. Jordan Poole was the highlight of the night taking half court shots pre event and even wore sunnies inside with a hoodie!!

Fair to say he was a man of the people , happily signed stuff for people etc.

The event outside that was free wasn't to bad, thought the Globetrotters would have done more but they certainly got the kids involved.

Had a night out with the wife in the city after and upon coming back to our suite at Crown we had the pleasure of sharing a lift with Jordan Poole himself, Kevin Looney, Bey and Alvarado and they were great, when they entered the lift and saw us there they smiled and a couple said the aussie "G'day Mate" and had a laugh, we had a quick chat with them and they said they were loving their time. Given we were at a hotel and in a lift in particular we didn't ask for photos.

Saw a few of the staff members and dance crew also at different stages at the hotel. Seems like they sent a lot of people over here for the event.

The players are huge in person , just the height in particular you were like holy christ Looney was massive and the young fella that was in the lift with us the next morning Hunter I can't recall his last name but he would have had to have been 7ft.

The Pels are a team of the people.

Just not very many people.

quality over quantity.

quality over quantity.

I wish the NBA saw it like that re. playoff qualification. We only won 20 games last season, but those were 20 quality wins.

Melbourne/Victoria has always been Australia's Hoops Capital, much as Sydney/NSW has always been for association football.

The Pels crowds is not a shock, even though most people came to see Ray Ray and KG.

Imagine how packed out it would if the Bulls, Celtics or Lakers came to town ?

How did this suddenly become about Boston?

Those 3 teams are currently the most popular in Australia i believe.

The media and press coverage here would have been much higher if we came

Seen less than 10 people (tops) wearing a Pels Jersey in Melbourne over the years.
