re: Good News: More Insurers coming to LA. Bad News: Most of them suck

[quote]Several of the new companies share another similarity with the failed firms: They use an affiliate model that allows them to farm out many functions – and premium dollars – to less-regulated affiliates, an arrangement that has raised concerns among some regulators and some observers of the in...
re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction

[quote]Lmao[/quote]
I get it, but general managers have admitted to perusing the RealGM trades forum. The criticisms of Ingram are all valid. No one here wants to max Ingram for the same reasons.
You can expand this out to NBA pod/radio hosts and writers too. Ingram is mostly viewed as a l...

[quote]I dont disagree he has hurt his trade value over the last 15 games of the season, but he's still a much more valuable player than Murray.
BI's value didn't go from a good young player and 3-4 firsts to expiring contracts and 2 lottery protected firsts just b/c of the last 15 games.[/quote]...

[quote]I don't know where or how you derive the value for Murphy. People are worth what others are willing to pay them. I'm sure he could get the 25M/year. I wouldn't give it to him. He's not proved it yet and he's not a starter for this team.[/quote]
Trey’s shooting at his size is more valuable ...

[quote]This year, he seems pretty committed to flipping the roster around.[/quote]
I’ll believe it when I see it. His quote about CJ/Zion/Ingram being a negative on the court really seemed like a shot at the surrounding cast.
He specifically mentioned how good the core and foundation was. ...

[quote]No one's ever goign to care about Jose, Naji, Herb, or any big shooting a 3. They don't shoot quick enough for a defender to have to stick to them. It's not about how many 3's you take and make. it's the way you shoot them.[/quote]

[quote]They see Lauri more of a high 2 than a 1 option.[/quote]
Lauri is a mid 2 option. I don't think people actually watch Jazz basketball. Lauri is assisted on 98% of his made 3's and 74% of his made 2's.
I don't love the Lauri fit here. He's not realy a playmaker and doesn't create mu...

[quote]Just get a legit point guard to orchestrate the offense and it’ll all come together.
[/quote]
The fact of the matter is if we give BI a 30% max, we will be a small market tax team while Zion is only 24 with limited ability to improve. I don't care about Benson's money, but she does. Rea...

I mean, there are morbidly obese Methodist preachers. They’re just as big of sinners as gay people are.[/quote]
Don't forget the drunks. Never met a priest who didn't enjoy an alcoholic beverage or 12 on occasion. Cannot imagine Methodist preachers are all that different.

re: Non-Pels April Thread
Posted by NOFOX on 4/29/24 at 12:50 pm
[quote]I like what OKC has built, it feels very current/modern NBA. An offensive engine with a bunch of 2 way role players that can play more than one position. The Pels are halfway down that track, they just need to go all in on Zion and turn the pieces that don't fit into better fitting pieces.[/q...

[quote]You replace those shots in many ways, some of which are more shots for Zion and Trey, meaning, more efficient shots.[/quote]
You still need someone to run the offense through when Zion is not in the game. Trey cannot do that becuase his handle is a mess and he lacks a first step. CJ can ...

[quote]BI isn't a #2, so we don't lose a #2 by trading him.[/quote]
You lose 20 ppg of self created buckets. Teddy is rightfully saying if you get rid of Ingram, that some equivalent offensive engine needs to come back to replace him. Trey is not there yet from a creation perspective and if you...

Somebody asked Willie if OKC keeps making adjustments that Pels cant figure out, what do you do? So basically hey Willie, you’re being thoroughly outcoached, what can you change?
All Willie can respond is “we just have to be aggressive”. It’s so ridiculous how pathetic he is. We weren’t beatin...

re: Organization is soft
Posted by NOFOX on 4/25/24 at 8:49 am
We have a poorly constructed roster. No ball handlers. No one that can collapse a defense outside of Zion. No rim protection. Limited rebounding. Basic offensive sets. No adjustments.
Seeing a real contender attack our weaknesses relentlessly plays this bare and hopefully convinces Griff to ...
