It’s so refreshing to see Missi grow every game compared to the bigs of the past. J. Hayes had the physical tools, but lacked the mental growth needed to be an efficient player.

Big win of the offseason with Missi. Changes our potential trade targets immensely.

This is such a huge point. Gets us closer to even in terms of advantage if they call the game like they did last night.

If he gets extra votes to make the All Star game next year because of this announcement, then there is upside.

JV gonna feast

Agreed. He obviously has a high BBIQ and good instincts. NBA body is growing, which is a good thing. Humble and great attitude.

Seems like his putting in the work as well. Dyson will be huge for us in the coming years.

Know what this team needs to be optimal with its current 2 best players?
S P A C I N G

A lineup of CJ, Trey, Hawkins, Zion, and Herb/DD lets Zion collapse the defense when he drives and he has 3 amazing options to kick it out to. 1 or 2 quick passes and you have 3 technically elite shooters getting an open look.

This team has its best players already in place. You get role players to come off the bench and provide something they are extremely good at to allow the system to work.

Great pick tonight for team needs. Not a sexy pick like all the dipshits who think they would be a better GM swinging for the fences every chance they get.

Your posts might make up 40% of this thread. Are you this passionate of a Pels Fan or are you a member of the media? Some of your remarks sound very similar to a MM who once patrolled these boards. Obvious alter of some sort.

Anyway…glad to read through this thread with what would be a normal boring off season. I’m glad Pels are making waves, but there are a lot of varying opinions of the right direction.

No one knows what the correct path may be. That’s why we have to leave it to the professionals (I guess). We have seen glimpses of what this team looks like healthy and thriving. I am the ultimate optimist, but it is hard to keep saying, “wait until we finally get healthy.”

iMO, Giving up BI is an obvious wrong route. The dude lives, eats, and breathes ball. He is our undisputed leader at this point. That toe injury may have thrown off some attitudes of fans, but constantly pushing off an injured toe is hell. I understand that discomfort take a while to work through. The way BI went on a tear at the end of the season shows his true character.

Zion’s shown his potential at being The Guy. He is still 22, but when does that light switch on for him to realize what he has to do to elevate himself and this team to their ultimate potential?

I’d love to see this team finally click and show out, but if Griff can get a great package from Charlotte that includes Z and ships him to the Eastern conference, I finally may come around and agree that’s the best route at this point.

The next week and a half will be interesting.

You really provide nothing of value or interest in any of your posts. Please use the limited amount of your brain cells before posting again.

For real, why is their bench empty? Players hit the showers early? Lol
