[Fischer] Another item to keep in mind for New Orleans, the Pelicans are looking into trades for Kira Lewis Jr., sources said, that could provide the point guard with options for greater playing time elsewhere.

This isn’t surprising. Kira is a good dude and can play he just got Wally Pipped by Jose after he got injured
Makes sense. Super unfortunate, but that ACL injury probably costed Kira a career in the NBA, cause I felt he showed real flashes of being a rotational piece leading up to that injury. That year long rehab along with Jose’s arrival was detrimental to his development. Still not entirely sure what the hell Coach Green was thinking throwing him into the play-in game like that though lmao
It’s early, but for a very small guard with no real skill other than elite speed and acceleration, it’ll be difficult for him to find a home. Hope it works out for him though.
Celtics fan here, can he shoot?
If you gonna draft a small guard make sure he has a discernable skill other than “fast”
Another Griff whiff
sucks but just like NAW i think a change of scenery would do wonders for him 🙁
But between Jose, Hawkins, and Dyson, i don’t think there is space for him
Unfortunately for Kira this is the crossroads. He has not shown any court vision or the ability to run a NBA offense. He’ll need to rehabilitate his game soon in order to salvage a career.
