re: Pels vs Suns

Zion and Trey are just so soft.
Any time Dillon Brooks guarded either, they're so scared of him, they just play hot potato and get rid of the ball ASAP.
Zion tries to post Brooks up, Brooks battles and Zion immediately stops trying... every single time.
Contrast that with Queen, who each time tonight he went at Brooks, took the contact, kept going and easily got past him any time he wanted.

re: Pelicans should take the interim off James Borrego and give him a chance

quote:Unfortunately, the Pels didn't kill any chances because there is zero chance Gayle Benson would pay the salary that Mike Malone would command.
but the Pelicans did the opposite and killed their chances in two different seasons as a result of it
That also doesn't even touch on another thing, I see no reason why a dude like Mike Malone would even consider coming here.
quote:Wait tip you learn the organization sniffed around already this season and found out he had zero value because no one wants him at $40 mil.
Obviously the organization agrees with my views because he’s still in the team.
quote:Zion and his contract being off this team as soon as possible IS what is best for the Pelicans.
Are you going to just cry about Zion or do you want what’s best for the Pelicans?

People’s views of Zion are backwards. Dude works hard

quote:Making decisions to win next year is absolutely the same scenario.
Making decisions to win because of Z/ AD is way different than making decisions to win in spite of AD/ Z. This is not the same scenario.
Who cares about next year, we aren't winning anyway, especially when you can have Zion off the books and note the cap flexibility it would create for 3 years from now.
quote:Yes, we do. Go look at the 2027-2028 Pels salaries then come back to me and say we don't free up spade by trading Zion for an expiring.
We don't free up space by trading Zion, stop saying this stupid shite
As another poster said, you simply aren't grasping or understanding the situation. It is what it is.
quote:telling someone to stop saying stupid shite then immediately talking about $5 mil in cap space :lol:
I'd rather a 40% chance of having someone come off the bench to put up 25pts in 25min than whatever tf $5mil in cap space will give us
You really have zero clue of the Pels cap situation, it's pretty wild how far off you are while also yelling loudly and obnoxiously pretending you know what you're talking about. You're wayyyyyy off here.
quote:Factually incorrect.
Getting rid of Z for expirings gives us barely any cap space
quote:You think that be cause you do not understand the Pels cap situation beyond next year.
You have to trade Z for someone who needs that extension/ new contract or has similar salary/ impact in order for that to make any sense. That would instantly be more stupid or risky than any trade we've made the last few years.

It's on the coach for keeping Poolea retarded arse on the floor
Borrego has been awesome so far but gotta call it out as it happens. Letting Poole run the crunch time minutes is just an awful idea, and it played out exactly like he should have known it would.
Putting the ball in the hands of Poole every possession down the stretch is quite the decision.
quote:To clarify, you think the government can shut down all those programs and start them over in "a couple of weeks?" :lol:
With all the fraud that's being exposed in Medicaid, social security, ssdi, unemployment, food stamps, section 8 housing. Pastime to shut them all down, start over.
Everyone that can't make it a couple of weeks while we recertify actual qualification
That would take our government 10 years, conservatively.

quote:Our future is in our 2 rookies, making decisions to try and "win" next season is what screwed us with AD and again with Zion, why would you want to do that again?
I don't think letting Z walk is an option. We don't get anything with that money. You'd maybe have $5mil cap space and then can only sign players on your roster. We don't even have anyone to pay from the roster next season. We have to keep his $40mil in order to use it.
Free up the space. We're not doing anything of note next season anyway, play the long game for 2-3 seasons out, not next season.

Trading him doesn’t create 40 million in cap space

quote:If we can get something of value for him, that's great.
We have no cap space if we get rid of his $40mil. Trading him for expirings and late 1sts without a plan to add a long term asset using his salary is no bueno.
But Zion and his salary off of this team is better than Zion and his salary on this team going forward.
quote:And why would any believe that?
A reporter a week or so ago said Zion sat down with the team, the coaching staff and front office and asked them to please give him a chance to get himself right and prove to them he can be the guy.
quote:Don't do this to yourself. You know how this will end.
That shows commitment to wanting to be here, and coming back from that injury 2 weeks ahead of schedule shows he’s making that commitment to try to be better
quote:If you can find a team, you do it immediately. Yesterday, today, tomorrow... Any time before he inevitably gets hurt again.
Is this when you shop Zion?

If Borrego gets this team to the playoffs theyre making money again, and Gayle may consider Mike for the right price

She's caught them in multiple lies.

Still waiting for someone to prove Owens wrong about literally anything she has said.
You don't think she should have to prove anything she said? Are you just blindly believing her without any ability to provide any sort of meaningful evidence?
