Pelicans do not want Jonas Valunciunas back next season.

[DLoMor]

Why? Apparently he and Zion never meshed well together? What do you guys think?

Sucks to lose his job because of an overrated part time player, but he'll get plenty of offers.

Honestly he could fit for the Lakers. That way AD can play PF and Rui can come off the bench as a 6th man like Naz Reid style role.

[Swish1906]

He always beat out Zion on the way to the team’s buffet, so Zion told management he has to go

Charlotte bound

Charlotte bound

Don’t they have a young and upcoming center named Richards? Or was it Williams? I forgot.

'He would be good on the lakers' - Lakers fans when any halfway decent player is available.

[ConSarnit]

He’s a player of a bygone era. Still useful but any team starting him is going to always be looking for an upgrade. His fit is made even more tenuous on NOP who has a PF who doesn’t space the floor of protect the rim. I imagine it’s a bench role for JV from here on out.

Yeah Mark Williams, but he has a back injury and no updates have been given on his progress.

We still need another big body in case Williams can't get over his back injury.

[JujitsuFlip]

Shoot, Cavs will take him. I'll give ya Mitchell for Ingram but ya gotta add a first rounder.

Then I'll give ya Allen for Val in a S&T but ya gotta add one of those big young defensive minded wings.

Garland/pick #20/TJ/CPJ
Ingram/Strus/Merrill
Pelicans defensive minded guy/LeVert
Mobley/Wade/Niang
Val/MLE guy/TT

OKC should sign him for backup C

[Iwasawitness]

Would like him as a backup big in Cleveland, even if he’s not very good defensively.

Team fit is talking about belt buckle size?

Many times even when they're not available.

[The Rainmaker]

He's like a better Enes Kanter. His strength is scoring in the paint and rebounding, but he sucks defensively and isn't really talented enough offensively where he can be a 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd option level guy on a win now team. He's fine as a guy you bring off the bench. Heck that was his role on the Raptors until they traded for Marc Gasol.

[Gusto1903]

JV has been my go to guy at C for fantasy for quite some time. Always cheap to get and always reliable.
There should easily be a lot of teams interested in him and he could feast on those.

[Mrakar]

The only guy that is availible all the time and doesn't complain even to limited minutes... yes he has a lot of flaws but i would still like to keep him

[LAvision]

Would love him to back up wemby. Him over Collins for the second unit would be an insane upgrade.

[Hoopstar23]

Would love him on the Warriors
