This is a tough game. gobert and hood are out
I thought they were both still listed as questionable.
@LockedonSports: Rudy Gobert and Rodney Hood participated in shoot around and are still listed as questionable

I remember it more like people talked about trading favors for porzingas and then signing millsap in free agencyJust a reminder, some people wanted to trade Favors for Millsap in the offseason.
I'd be excited if I were a Pelicans fan. They built around Davis the wrong way. They could have had similar rim protection as us if they had kept Noel. They should have continued to build through the draft. Now they have the chance to do that. I'd be salivating over the idea of pairing up Skal or Simmons with Davis.At least we're not the Pelicans. 1-9, lost again today.
It wasn't just about Kanter, it was about setting up a tank--one that wouldn't have worked as well with Millsap on the team.That seems crazy now.
As another reminder, some people wanted to dump Al Jefferson and keep Milsap to play with Favors. Dennis Lindsey thought it was a better plan to let Milsap walk for nothing in order to develop Kanter into trade bait for Tibor Pleiss.

It seemed like a stupid trade from the beginning. Teams get impatient and make "quick fix" decisions. It hardly ever works. The Nets are another example of this. Their owner promised a Championship within 5 years and look where they are now: right back where they started at the bottom of the league.Now that Davis has a 3 point shot Noel/Davis would have worked I think. Both players can play 5 positions on defense and switch on any guard. Could have been special and they blew it.

Gobert and Hood will both play tonight (per Jones on Twitter). Great news.
Now crossing fingers they don't hurt again.
The Hood foot injury is worrisome. Seems like it might hamper his career.
Yeah, sucks.
Very worrisome since he was out last year with it and it apparently isn't better after an entire off season.
