re: Could Kris Dunn & Harrison Barnes be the offseason?

I have a feeling that Dell will get blame for the bad moves but if we do something good, the credit will go to Ferry. So, let's just set it straight now.

This fanbase decides well ahead of time who'll get their wrath. Was Monty for years. Everything that went wrong on the floor was Monty. Now its Dell.

Meanwhile Mickey Loomis chills on Airline with the greatest job in sports. Spending an "out-of-it" billionaire's money indiscriminately, with no oversight.

No real heat from Pels fans and very little from Saints fans. Decade-plus of all time awful defenses...no problem, fire another d-coordinator, fans inevitably direct their anger at the wrong guy. Mickey reclines his chair farther back.

The bloated contracts, blown drafts, and trading of picks, didn't start in the Pelicans side of the building. Mickey's been doing that since the early 2000s

In the end, it doesn't matter who the Pelicans "GM" is

Who's reactionary? He has been a dud every time his number has been called this post season.

You are talking about a guy that averaged 12ppg as a starter for the greatest regular season team of all time. A guy that is only 24, but has played in more postseason games than everybody on our team combined. If you ever really watch the Warriors, they go as he goes. If he plays well, they win, if he doesn't, they don't. Considering their record, he usually does pretty well.

He is a solid player in a vacuum but compared to his expected market demand? He is grossly, disgustingly over-inflated. Wise organizations will stay the hell away.

---

He is an incredibly young wing that has a ton of talent and has been a great team player. Guys like him will get chased big team, by most every team. You just never know if/when a guy will bust out. Take a player like McGrady when he became a FA in Toronto. Solid 2nd/3rd guy on a borderline playoff team. Everybody chases him and then he becomes a superstar when given the chance.

Tonight was also his audition for being that swing 2-4 people talked about him being for us. He failed. Bad.

You are going to judge a 4 year vet, that has played in over 300 games, started almost 250 and played in over 60 postseason games on one bad playoff game? What if he has a great one the next game? I guess that won't matter. That's an impossible standard. Even the best player in the league, Curry, has stunk up a couple of times this postseason. Is he a failure too?
