re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein

[quote]No we been arguing about his style of play and fit for a couple seasons now. And have suggested trading him for a while. This isn’t some recent memory bias bullshite you think this board is doing.[/quote]
Yeah I’ve been wanting to trade him for a few years now. He’s an inefficient, injury p...

[quote]I've been asking this since yesterday afternoon and nobody is answering.[/quote]
We know this draft is not good. We should have traded BI last summer for a top pick in last years draft. The disconnect is that you’re way overvaluing BI. It’s a huge risk for a team to take a guy with one yea...

[quote]Im not exactly sure what you define as a PG but I felt he operated in that manner in Kentucky[/quote]
Can we get a definition of a point guard? At this point I have no idea what it means. ...

[quote]That means it's highly unlikely to get an impact player at 5, but obviously not impossible. Jokic and Herb were 2nd rounders, you know. No reason we can't draft those types in the 2nd every year.[/quote]
We’re not going anywhere with BI at this point. And this team is not competitive in th...

This real PG talk is so annoying. Name these real PGs? Who are the best real PGs in the league?...

[quote]I don’t think we need a 2nd “star”, because I see Trey becoming that[/quote]
I really don’t see this happening. Trey does not have the creation necessary to be the number two option on a team. I see him more as a high level role player. ...

[quote]You do what you’re saying you’re basically screwing more than half the season to increase BIs value, which personally is not smart[/quote]
Exactly, you trade BI this summer or extend him. Do not go into trade deadline and risk getting nothing for him. The time to trade him was last summer....

[quote]It's actually not. I wouldn't be surprised if a guy living under the interstate got a tip before one of our local guys[/quote]
The local guys don’t have the national sources that national guys have. Their sources are just the team. So they won’t report it unless the team wants them to even...

You can’t even really be mad at it. This is just who the franchise is. Th...
re: Windhorst says Philly is monitoring the Brandon Ingram situation

[quote]I'd prefer if we traded both BI and CJ, but I dont think that's realistic with our idiot GM. If we can't find a good deal for BI, then you have to resign him, and if that happens, then CJ needs to be on the move for a legit PG. I"m sorry but CJ's defense is just too bad. It's not only bad one...

[quote]I believe the biggest take away from the playoffs so far is that the bench does not really matter that much. A team needs a strong starting 5, with maybe a solid 6th man. [/quote]
Everyone knows this. That’s why drafting high floor low ceiling one dimensional role players with lottery pi...

[quote]I can agree with this. We need to do something with the salary slot. But we need a 2nd star next to Zion. That needs to be a great lead guard or dynamic big. We should be targeting 10-12 guys, if we are truly going for it..[/quote]
If I’m trying to think about highest chances to get a runn...

[quote]I'm not inclined to blow the team up, but what we know is that the team desperately needs a primary ball handler who can shoot above the arc, defend reasonably and distribute the ball to positions for players to just finish a play (easier and more efficient).[/quote]

[quote]It's amazing the pass some of y'all give Zion, after the way last season ended for him it was ridiculous the shaped he showed up in to start the season. How can you contend for championship when your best player doesn't even care enough to stay in shape when he has been hurt is whole career. ...

[quote]What the hell are the Saints going to do at LT. Resign Peat because he was ok LT back half of the season? Or let him go and pin your hopes on Penning? That would be very risky.[/quote]
They are going to have to resign Peat it seems. I’m more than ok with this. There’s no way we can brea...

[quote] Arre teams doubling Z by not guarding B?[/quote]
What? People are saying this because they’re both fairly high usage players who live near the basket. BI plays further back but not further back enough to give Zion space to work. Also both require the ball to be useful and neither are plus...
