Moving and Shaking

True to my word i promised a shake up and here we are, a trade for the pelicans!
New Orleans has welcomed with open arms Ben "Thrift Shop" Mclemore and GM gc6's pre draft favourite Caleb Swanigan, as well as getting in to the first round of the 2019 draft with the Sacremento pick after previous management traded ours away for a bag of balls and a years free soda in the lobby vending machine.
Departing the big easy is back up point gaurd Cory " two first names" Joseph and Rookie big man Ty Jacob Leaf.
With a glaring hole at power forward obviously you'd expect this trade to bolster the stocks, and you would be wrong. It does give the pelicans something else they needed though and thats a hopefully reliable shooting gaurd off the bench. Drafted 1st overall in 2013 (seeing this hurt my eyes) Ben "Same Love" Mclemore has greatly underwhelmed and continue's to this season with paltry figures of just over 4 points per game with very little else. But he should get around 20 minutes a game in the big easy to show what he can do and possibly impress the coach enough to garner himself a bigger role going forward in this still young season. Or he could fail, miserably, just like the pelicans last 5 games.
Now Swanigan is a power forward, but is he ready for the big time?. My big heart says yes, but my head says no. Currently averaging 1 minute per game over 1 game in the nll with the grand total of zero in all stats. But this Gm likes him a lot and will give him all the time he needs to develop and providing he can find his way on to the hardwood, could be in line for some junk time minutes within the next few weeks.
Now i have a line up to figure out with the new moving parts to try and get us a win, and i doubt we are done dealing yet. So watch this space!
Ps. Go Pels
