Jimmer to Pelicans

Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

Jimmer to Pelicans

Post by snoscythe »

Not a great team, but at least he finds himself in the most favorable depth-chart situation he's had since he entered the Association.

....and then the Pelicans sign John Salmons in echoes of Sacramento.

I was pretty disappointed to see Jimmer sitting on the bench with the Bulls. I believe he could have made a positive contribution. Even though the Pelicans are not the caliber of the Bulls, I think Jimmer will have a greater opportunity to play and make his mark. He can definitely pour the points in if given a chance to play. I think the Pelicans is a golden opportunity for Jimmer.

P.S. Even though I think the team name is goofy (Pelican. Right up there with the Beaver), the logo is pretty cool looking.

Jimmer signed on with a very poor agent.

Just curious - why does Jimmer have a poor agent? Because he only got a 1 year deal from the Pelicans for League min? Or was it because he landed with the Pelicans? Personally, I think the Pelicans are a great opportunity for Jimmer to show his skills. I loved him being in Chicago, but, he was getting no playing time.

Remember - Mongo not smart. Thx!

Because it seems Jimmer's agent has yet to land him in a situation where Jimmer will actually be given a chance. I'm not sold on the Pelicans being a place where he'll get a chance when they sign a guy taking Jimmer's minutes in Sacramento AFTER they sign Jimmer.

I've come to accept that Jimmer's time in the NBA is over. I hope he enjoys playing over seas.

I understand he's signed for another year. It won't make a difference.
