Nikola Mirotic transfr New Orleans

The leaders of New Orleans claimed following the package of DeMarcus Cousins that the franchise would be active before the trade deadline from February 8. It’s done, since the journalist Vincent Goodwill from NBC just announced that Nikola Mirotic joined Louisiana in exchange forOmer Cool and a first-round pick. In the midst of a fight for the playoffs that have eluded them since 2015, the Pelicans are arming themselves with both an outside weapon that they greatly lacked and a strong winger with the complementary profile ofAnthony Davis. Since his return to the courts in early December, the Spaniard has shot 16.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, his best production in his career. His long distance percentage, 42.9%, is by far his highest yield in the NBA. From his acclimatization with AD who is expected to slide to No. 5, will depend on New Orleans’ fate in the final postseason rush.

The Pelicans had been trying to sell Omer Asik’s concrete contract for many months: 23 million over the next two seasons. The franchise had to add a draft round to get rid of the Turkish pivot. Still in their reconstruction process, the Bulls recover an asset in passing and Asik who started in Illinois in 2011. The tandem Gar Forman et John Paxson has, once is not custom, sacrificed one of the centerpieces of its workforce. The leaders are clearly drawing a line under the current exercise and are already turning to the future draft.
