re: This board is aids right now

That's why I've hardly posted here all year. Its either been the same retards saying Anthony Davis sucks, or the same (legitimate) conversation after every loss about how to blow up the roster/FO

It was more fun when the Ryno rumors were flying, but there hasn't been any news lately.

On Zachary Lowe's last podcast he was saying it might be smart for teams like the Pellies and Suns to be hanging onto their assets for as long as possible to let buyers grow more desperate. There are far more buyers than sellers and so the bounty might rise the longer we wait.

The thought of Hassan Whiteside for Ryno gets me pumped, mates

Trading for Hassan Whiteside would be a horrible move. Even if you ignore all of the personality red flags, he supposedly will get a max deal and the Pels only need a part time center. Why are so many down on AD? Because he can't create his own shot and therefore put the team on his back whenever it's needed. That means any max money we spend should be going on a 35 MPG 2 way wing player that can set AD up, not a rim protector.

Miami also doesn't have his Bird Rights...so they wouldn't be trading those. We would need to attempt to clear out some space to even have a chance at re-signing him. To a max deal.

Yeah, I don't get the infatuation with Whiteside especially for this team. It's not like he's Drummond. He's not that young. His offensive game is limited and he offers little to no passing. He's a recovering headcase and not a high IQ guy. He's not a great defender. Fans too often conflate shot blocking with defense.

I've been watching the Pels/Hornets from the beginning and I can honestly say this is probably the least interest i've had in them in a long time. Without a doubt the least i've watched them, despite being able to watch every game easily as opposed to having to search for a feed for them online that hadn't been shut down by the government since i've never had Cox.

I watched early on this year and quickly lost interest. I watched through B-Diddy bitching and not wanting to be here, Jamaal Magloire sitting out half a season b/c his left pinky finger was bothering him, early CP3 when we were terrible (and when he dunked on Dwight Howard), and even the Jeff Bower experiment. there was always some hope left in me that we could turn it around. Don't really feel that way anymore, or i guess i just don't care. We've made dumb decision after dumb decision after dumb decision.
Should have never tried trading away Tyson Chandler back in the day. That trade that never happened pissed off everyone on that team and sent them in a downward spiral eventually leading to coach being fired and all 3 all-stars leaving.
But that bonehead decision led us to AD. We looked challenging last year against GSW in the playoffs. There was a buzz in the area about this team, a buzz that had been gone ever since the Peja head was running around during that series with SAS, that we lost badly after the team got arse raped by Denver where no one seemed to give a shite except for CP3.
We went from making a few moves, which we didn't do, to get us to possibly be considered actual contenders, to lottery pick in a span of 6 months, with the only change on the team being the coach.

We haven't had a draft pick since AD which also doesn't help with the buzz, or with the development of this team.


This team isnt' fun to watch. They are just starting to look like they care a little more, but still not enough to make me watch more.

I'm ready for this season to be over with. Just looking forward to what we get for Ryno/EG/Reke/Asik, and finally having a first round draft pick(maybe). Since there's been little buzz about those players recently, this board has nothing worth talking about.

and just a reminder, I still don't like Asik, or our coach.
