re: Who does Queen remind you of?

Hes a better scorer but something about the way he moves reminds me of Vlade Divac

Cam Jordan is probably the best run defender / high sack guy of the modern age


Is this one that Mickey doesnt get credit for?
Everyone cant wait to dump on Zion while Trey Murphy continues to be a disappointing "cornerstone"

Laugh..

Anything outside of the top 15 in the NBA is almost guaranteed to be worthless in five years

And entire NFL draft is worth way more than we gave up for Queen, who is turning out to be a very good player

How many other stars score 30+ points with 1 AST, 1 REB, and 0 attempted 3s?

Young was the only guy maybe worth signing, but I’d have let them all go. Young, JJ, don’t sign Cooks or Reid. This year was going to be bad regardless, but at least we’d be out of cap hell completely afterward


I understand the rationale, but if Sanker and Riley came out and played like complete shite next to some practice squad players, would you feel confident that they were good picks?

I think they are.. because ive seen them play next to NFL players like Reid, etc and while the unit as a whole hasn't been great, they have shown flashes of potential
This place is one big frowney-faced circle jerk

Two weeks ago: "trade anyone with value -- stockpile picks!"

team trades anyone who garners interest

This week: "The cupboard is bare!"

Im curious if you guys think Loomis stands up in the draft room during the Saints pick and says "ive taken all of your suggestions under advisement, but decided to select Cesar Ruiz instead!"

I think the defense just needs more playmakers -- not necessarily at any given position.

Just someone that the offense has to account for, which makes life a little easier for the other players. Guys like Kool-Aid, Adebo, P-Rob, etc can look like serviceable players when you have a Lattimore to damn near remove one half of the field by himself.

Linebackers look way better in coverage when you have a DE that commands a chip from a TE or a block from a RB that slows down that checkdown route..

etc..
The GOP can't raise campaign money when they control everything because they dont ever actually DO anything. They have no record to point to or landmark legislation to celebrate.

They need to lose control so they can go on Fox News and beg for votes and money to "stop the liberal agenda!"

Will they reverse ANY of the liberal legislation? No... How could they with re-elections starting in 18 months?

Ruiz by himself causes such a chain reaction of failure on the O-line its actually amazing.

I can't fault Moore for abandoning the run after watching attempt after attempt get BLOWN UP in the backfield because of pressure directly thru Ruiz.

Shough took several sacks yesterday that should have been easy checkdowns to the Rb or TE, except they cant release fast enough because they have to help chip rhe DEs

Because our bench is starting and half our starters are in street clothes again

Sell me on the trade..

Please explain how..


Are the Hawks turning that trade down if the pick is Top 3 protected? Top 5?

Nobody wants to admit that whatever generational star we could have taken with our protected 1st would likely come here and pout and fake injuries before eventually being traded

Worst thing you can do with Trey and Jose is look at career or season stats..

They will shoot you out of most games and then go 7-10 a couple times and bring their overall season stats up a little
I imagine the future alot like the world in that shitty Elysium movie..

The wealthiest people live "off-world" in a pristine spaceship environment, while the middle class has been reduced down and combined with the lower class to basically be slave labor -- working countless hours doing the only jobs AI cant do and being rewarded with just enough compensation to not die.
Before the season I would say this is nonsense, but the evidence continues to stack up to support it game by game. I made the comment in another thread that Gayle has turned out to be a real life Rachel Phelps (from Major League). I was joking but, again, every day they make it easier to believe.

- Dejounte says he cant even get gym time and implies that the facilities arent available

- players left and right making comments about how the Pels get Saints' leftovers, fly coach, get generally treated like shite by ownership

- the laziest GM replacement search in history, then allow him to install his moronic friend (Weaver) who nearly torpedoed two franchises on his own

- new GMs make some of the dumbest trades imaginable, basically sinking any chance of a draft-based, ground-up rebuild

- entire team quits on coach LAST YEAR, so let's give him another offseason + 12 games this year to.... do what exactly?

- team doesn't even bother to run fan promotion games this year until being pressured to do so by people on social media

- Amid sinking attendance numbers, ticket and concession prices are INCREASED

- the best we can come up with for a local TV solution requires me to go to Radio Shack and mount an antenna on my roof
Rachel Phelps continues her mission to prep the fans for the team's sale
