Rybot: probably going to sit for the year now

Jrue: out for a long time with a stress fracture (and anybody who has followed bradley beal needs to realize he needs to sit for a long time, regardless of tanking or not)

Gordon: shocking news today that he's on the block

i don't even give a shite about the pick we still may very well lose. there was optimism and hope this year. a bunch of young studs giving many options who all seemed to get along? the rebuilding seemed almost done

now instead of thinking of trading bordon for deng, we're considering trading him for "granger" (an expiring)

luckily now the fanbase will see both the value of jrue and how bad the frick arse tyreke can be playing ball-dominant point guard (as weird as it is to think of both of those things together)

In years past, at least there was a light at the end of the season (high draft pick). Now we will tank and give our #7 pick to the god damn 76ers.

My pels offseason will now consist of hoping they follow through with the pool in the Party Perch. Otherwise, all hope is lost.

This makes the season useless unless we're able to trade Gordon for some kind of value.

Good grief, I wish that there was less truth in the OP.

Anderson's impact is huge, but I also feel that it is bigger than it should be. And now Jrue. Ugh. Just a short time ago, the Pels were starting to gel, the record was a respectable .500 or so and you could see things coming together.

Wouldn't shock me to see better play from the other two guards- addition by subtraction.

Not a knock v Jrue, just that roles for Gordon and Evans are clearer with him out.

As long as Davis is healthy, there will always be a reason to watch the Pelicans play.

Don't tank! It'll be so hard to get that top 3, I just don't want to tank and end up giving the 76ers a top 5 pick. We don't need to go into losing mode, we've seen enough of that, just keep playing hard work on learning eachothers games and next year hopefully we'll see a nice improvement
