Shamit Dua

Yeah, 'cause Shamet Dua, friend of the program, future, uh, he was tweeting out like sign-

I, I think, I think it's Shamit.

Shamit Dua, my bad.

That's, that's how they-

Mr. Dua

And we weren't sure if that was a fully guaranteed deal, if it was one of those training camp deals like Koby Bufkin or Christian Koloko, but I do think we have some more clarity on this.

So first and foremost, Shamit Dua, a friend of the show here @FeartheBrown, reported that there's a $250,000 guarantee, which moves up to half a million if he's not waived before the first day of the season.

The contract will be fully protected if not waived by December 30th.

So as of now, he really is the 15th roster spot here.

Oh, man.

Uh, I wish I had Shamit Dua's thing up right now, 'cause he drops, like, a, a schedule-

Oh, yeah

... release thingy, basically talking about the strength of schedule for each team.

Uh-

Shamit, by the way.

Shamit Dua.

I'm so sorry.

If you're 11 and nine, you're at least showing enough to evaluate this roster in my opinion a little bit more.

But if you're 10 and 10, if you're nine and 11 or worse, you know, there are alarm bells that should be going off because if you're under .500 after the friendly portion of your schedule, what exactly are you waiting for? What exactly do you think is gonna turn around and what is going to happen here? And so that's what gets really interesting to me about this.

If the Pelicans cannot establish themselves, again, during the portion of the schedule that's designed for them to bank wins because there are some stretches in here that we'll look at next that are brutal, y'all.

Uh, Mardi Gras's not gonna be fun for the New Orleans Pelicans here.
