re: Per Zach Lowe: Pelicans added to teams that will pursue D Mitchell if no extension

[quote]BI can provide whatever lists he wants[/quote]
OK, I see you misinterpreted my post. Here’s the scenario. Griff leaks to the press WG/BI spat and organizations intention not to sign him to a max (shite move … leaking to the press), next BI’s agent canvases league on who’s willing to pay...

[quote]I think fundamentally, the whole offense needs to be revamped.[/quote]
For sure, what should have happened is when Pels traded Jrue and let Zo walk a replacement should have been lined up. Kira was not ready, so Pels acquiesced to Zion and BI and installed them as primary facilitators, on...

[quote]Balance is what wins in the playoffs[/quote]
Don't disagree at all, just making the point to those that think defense is archaic in modern basketball is just silly. To your point of BI not complimenting Zion, I believe that is just a narrative folk like to espouse due to a disappointing en...

[quote]That's why Milwaukee was so successful with their trade to get rid of Jrue and get Dame instead[/quote]
Despite the protest from the 2K crowd, defense wins in the playoffs (when it counts). For sure have to score, but the ability to keep the opponent from scoring will always be the decidi...

Believe that if you like, he’ll have multiple teams that will pay and his agent will provide a list to Pels of teams he’d sign with. Pels wanting to maximize return will work with those teams. Just how it works, case in point Siakam to Pacers this year....

[quote]If it came down to it I wouldn’t mind jumping in and helping facilitate a Mitchell trade to Miami[/quote]
I’m not sure if you understand how this will work, but if Pels truly want to sell on BI, he’ll have leverage on his destination. He’s on his last year of his contract and will inform ...

[quote]If you want to argue the the team is better with BI as the #1, have at it [/quote]
No, just the lameness of turning a corner post all star break due to some schematic change. Front office making little to no change with an already janky poster construction should be the real discussion....

[quote]Yes, 50 games into the season we finally stopped appeasing BI and went to Zion[/quote]
You keep rehashing lame stats. You could also say Pels were first place in division (ahead of Dallas) before said offense change. Said change didnt change the fact that Pels limped into the playoffs as...

[quote]Ingram has been our best player in hundreds of games since Zion was drafted[/quote]
For sure, Pels may just want a rebrand, board should move along without the slander. Facts are the team was in good shape before the break (ahead of Mavs), decided not to add any pieces and retooled the of...

[quote]This real PG talk is so annoying. Name these real PGs?[/quote]
Haliburton, Maxie, and Connely come to mind, honestly Jrue could have worked.. Obviously there is a cost. But a real Point (no designation on being a guard, forward, or center) dictates pace offensively and defensively, has el...
re: In three games vs Mavs, Dort has 16 fouls. He had 12 in four vs us

Posted by Pistol44 on 5/11/24 at 9:01 pm
Postseason permits more contact, counter is to force contact and draw fouls if they're playing you like that. Team can help by setting off-ball screens to free up your player. Dort's been in the league for a while and is a very good but not an all NBA defender that he looked like against the Pels. ...
re: Magic are the betting favorite to land Brandon Ingram

[quote]how slow our current starting five are and play[/quote]
For sure Pels need to be faster and more athletic, pace though is largely dictated by your point/post and that exasperated the problem. Pels point or lack of has been beaten like a mule but Val/Nance could have helped more from the p...

For sure, crazy thing is there are a lot of young teams that didn't make the playoffs that'll contend for spots next year. I like the play-off competition, playing physical basketball (lot of running and pressing) every other day, like a war of attrition. A lot...

Posted by Pistol44 on 5/11/24 at 12:34 pm
Good games today, Boston without KP needs to win. Guess Dort rules are off when it comes to Luca, although he did show how to counter (force contact) his defensive style. Gotta love the NBA postseason, different game than the regular season....

[quote]He actually shot less threes this season[/quote]
I was with you until the sentence after this. The 3 ball is a concern, but lot of this is getting him the ball in spots to shoot and Pels ball distribution behind BI and Z was not very good. Don't think its anything nefarious. ...
