Please don't sign this kid. After watching the Pelicans the last few years, Hornets will regress when he comes in the game. He's a black hole. Shot first and pass last type of player. Defense is terrible and only decent off pick and roll. Shot tons of threes at the wrong times during the game. No to Roberts!!!!!!!

Yes, because black holes that do not pass have 18 assist games.

18 assist is for one game. You're not looking at the entire sample size. He is a down grade. He's not the veteran PG needed for a playoff caliber team. Pelicans' fans are happy they didn't resign him.

You're basing your opinion on a small sample size. One game with 18 assist.

nope, had no clue about that game. 

 

all i knew was he averaged near 10ppg and played fairly decent when thrust into the starting lineup. also liked his game from the clips I saw online. 

 

you could do alot worse for a backup imo.

Two year stats: 8 points, 1 Rebs, 3 assist. He doesn't make others around him better as a point guard. If they pick up Roberts, here's the second lune up: Roberts, PJ/Neal, Taylor, Vonleh, Biz. Who will create shoots on that line-up? Roberts, Neal and PJ are shoot first guards.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
