PSA: Pelicans Fans Don't Root for Rivals

So who among us is a true Pels fan and will be rooting for a divisional rival that ended our best playoff run to win a title?
I know the heat have taken up residence in a lot of posters' heads lately, but you are godawful if it's so bad that you actively root for a divisional rival gets yet another title.
I don't care if you root for the Heat. You don't have to, and there's nothing wrong with not rooting for them, but frick the Spurs.
Yes, this is a repost. TIA.

Will never in my life root for Lebron

I'm rooting for good basketball and 7 games. However, there could be implications to either side winning or losing that would effect the Pelicans. Would the Spurs winning lead Duncan and Pop to retire and open up a playoff spot for the Pelicans next year? Would the Heat losing send LeBron and Kevin Love to Cleveland to form a younger powerhouse team that would have a contention window that directly affects the Pelicans?
From a Macro perspective you almost want a Heat victory. LeBron joining Kyrie, Love and all the young talent in Cleveland would not be a good thing for the Pels.

Is it ok to dislike both of them?
And I don't like the word root. Makes me think of a high school cheerleader waving Pom Poms.

LeBron is never going back to the Cavs. It ain't happening. 99% chance he resigns with the Heat imo.
Lol at Kevin Love even considering joining the cavs.
How are they gonna pay Love, LeBron, Irving and Randle/Embiid? Who's gonna be one their bench? A bunch of random guys off the street?

I bet you hope Bama wins the NC every year so more players turn pro and more coaches leave for better jobs.

Let's tell these fools, fear

Last year I was jumped by a pack of Spurs fans outside of Fat Harry's and left beaten, bloodied, and for dead.

Not surprising in the least. San Antonio is tPOS capital of the world.

We aren't recruiting against the Spurs. Their winning the title has no real effect on us. As long as Pop is there they are goin to be elite and that's really all there is to it.
So yes, I will root for them to win the title on the off chance that Timmy and Pop call it quits afterwards

Spurs would probably proceed to hire a Pop protege though.
