'Buying or Selling the Pelicans Bench?' with Grubb + Oleh + Kevin Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

The New Orleans Pelicans were thrilled to add Elfrid Payton and Julius Randle in free agency. They even brought back Ian Clark at the minimum! But will it be enough heading into the regular season? While Niko will likely man the 6th spot, the Pelicans still have question marks in Frank Jackson, Solomon Hill, Darius Miller, Cheick Diallo, and a soon to be 36 year old Emeka Okafor. Will Dell Demps continue to work in free agency, or will the Pelicans' wait until the deadline? Subscribe and rate us today!

'Bluiett Man Group' take over Las Vegas' Summer League! Jul 08, 2018

Show notes

Trevon Bluiett exploded yet again for 26 points on 10/14 shooting/ 6/10 from three point range as the Pelicans cruised to a 110-84 victory over the Miami Heat. After two straight showings, Pels' fans have all but forgotten about the explosive Frank Jackson, instead dreaming of how Bluiett can pace the Pelicans' second unit in the regular season. In addition, Walt Lemon showed out, after a sluggish start, Tony Carr showed flashes, and Cheick Diallo regressed. Join Oleh, Kevin and Preston, live from Vegas! Subscribe and rate us today!
