This morning the NBA came out with two news about the transaction, it is estimated that it will make the ball daddy unhappy all day, the first news is that the Pelicans took the initiative to contact the Warriors, want to take the ball brother single for Oubre, the current Warriors' statement is still very ambiguous, there is no refusal and no further communication. The second news is that the Pelicans put Ball and Redick on the shelves, listening to other teams' offers, the Pelicans did this, in fact, it is also a helpless move, because the Pelicans are now the second-to-last team in the West, not a star and a half worse than last season, can only find ways to strengthen, the current team's core assets must be Ingram and Zion, there are still some valuable players, nothing more than Hart and Ball, it is clear that the Pelicans want to leave a vibrant Hart, And Ball should have completely lost the Pelicans' trust.
The main reason I think is because Ball's projection ability is really too poor, in the projection era, a high-ranking rookie with such a poor projection ability is still very rare, after all, so many years, whether it is the Lakers or pelicans, there is no less opportunity to give him a shot, the result is that the shooting is still so bad, in addition to shooting very badly, the free throw shooting rate has not been more than 60% of the career so far, it can be said that this ball in the mouth of the ball daddy can become the regular season MVP Of Ball, Even the starting position on the team is very reluctant, and now for the Pelicans, if they can trade Ball for an expired contract like Oubre, then it is really thankful, but the Warriors don't think so.
Oubre although the projection is not good, but the athletic ability is very strong, and Ball's meniscus considers that it has been completely removed, the athletic ability, no matter what, can not be compared with Oubre, besides, the Warriors do not lack people who can pass, Ball's strongest one is also ruthlessly ignored, if the Pelicans want the Warriors to use Oubre and Ball to exchange, then they have to play the draft, otherwise, why let the Warriors be the wronged boss?
