I gotta ask even if Gayle is only interested in money how has she affected Griff failing . Did her being "cheap" make Zion from the first time he played a game for the pels be out of shape, or make BI after he signed that max extension never play up to a All star level again, or Griff's many errors. Can you name a situation where Griff didn't have the financial resources that hurt the team? Griff had the financial resources to sign a guy like Derrick Favors, trade for Steven Adams with a bad contact, to hire Stan VanGundy, sign a Devonta Graham or offer BI a contract extension that would be crippling if he would have expected it .

That was the whole reason she hired Griff to prove that she was serious about the pels. They even hired Trajon as GM who was also a in the running for the POBO job and then hired the sun's trainer who was supposed to be the best in the business.

I'm not the biggest Gayle fan because she trusts Mickey to much, but to place all this blame on here for Griff failing massively is ridiculous.

Like we've lived through a truly cheap owner, we practiced at the fricking alario center for years, traded our second round pick every year for cash, traded Tyson. I would love to have a owner with unlimited funds but the truth is no one like that would buy and keep the team in New Orleans.

Honestly, when Adam Silver sees the Dumars news, he may finally say "You know what? New Orleans DOESN'T deserve a team..."

You do know the job Joe is leaving right?

shamit has said this who’s been pretty accurate the last month. I’ll believe his source over a fans assumption.

It's not fan assumption it's common sense. New Orleans is not a desired market for someone to spend that amount of money and keep the team here. Look at what is going on in Dallas with there fans having legit concern that there ownership group is trying to sabotage the team in order to move and Dallas is a huge market.

If Gayle would sell the team before a long term lease is signed with the state then where screwed (we still wouldn't be safe with a long term lease from a new owner moving the team but we would have a lot more protection if they do try)

I'm not a fan of hiring Dumars, but I can't blame them for wanting to move on from Zion. Just the things we know about Zion is exhausting can't imagine all the other bs that happened we don't know about.

I'm going with

C - Sylvia Fowler
PF - Angel/ Morrow
SF - Seimone
SG - Flau'jae
PG - Temeka Johnson

Really hard for me to pick between Angel and Morrow for the PF spot

Also my LSU Woman's basketball history only goes back to the Seimone era.

For the Nets game I need to hear Joel say this
"What that's Jordan Hawkins music!" We need our tank captain back.

I don't know why the sports media acts like HVL started her career at LSU. She spent 3 years at Louisville playing sg and she knew she couldn't play that position at the next level she wanted to try playing pg and Kim took a flyer but it didn't work out so both parties moved on. But some are acting like LSU ruined her career which is such a joke.

These 2 where like a combined 5-24 the reason they won is because of Antonio and Brooks. It sucks having these tank games at home because players like these play better at home.

Flagg is the grand prize but the other 2 Duke lottery picks are going to be good players also, there center is really impressive

I also like what I saw from Boston Jr and karlo this year
