It's a bit too early to know who wants to make changes. Some of that will depend on how this round of playoffs goes. But for fun, I'd rank my offseason targets in this order: 1. [u]DeJounte Murray Hawks[/u]--would package pick(s) and player(s) to get him on Pels. Long PG who shoots threes at goo...

2 reasons: first, I want Okongwu. He was a top-10 pick and still has a lot of upside. second, I'm adjusting for BI's diminished value. I'm paying a premium because a) I think Murray is much better fit with Zion; and b) I'm not willing to wait and see if BI can recover some value by bringing him back...

And don't forget we took Dyson four picks before OKC nabbed Jalen Williams. Can you imagine a Pels closing lineup of Maxey, Williams, Zion, Trey and Herb?...

could we get some cheese and spicy mustard on that ham sandwich?...

I was ok with the franchise taking data this season on the current roster as injuries had prevented our top players from logging many minutes together. You could postulate and pontificate that it wouldn't work (congratulations) but IRL you can't just get frustrated and break things without giving th...

The case against keeping Brandon longterm is pretty straightforward; -You can't build a contender around two stars who don't shoot 3 pointers and are, at best, average defenders; -Brandon is due for a massive pay raise on an already expensive roster; -Brandon has been asked repeatedly to al...

We're just not good in sticking to an offensive game plan. Do it on defense, like last night. But not on offense. Too many freelancers (BI & CJ) who don't like to stick to a set plan, like dumping the ball down to JV 20 times a game....

Yeah, CJ's handle is fine, he's just not an explosive athlete with a great first step. Same for Brandon. They both struggle to get past good defenders when being pressured one-on-one. Sadly, Willie seems to endorse the old NBA cliche that, at the end of the game, you just give it to your best player...

Right now problem is if BI stays he’s taking 15-20 shots a game and just a few 3 point attempts. And now you’re paying him $50 million. And his defense is…ok. Very hard to get up the volume of 3pointers you need today with that model. With Trey, just as an example, we saw the Pels get up 35-40 3 poi...

Zero interest in piling on Brandon, but he was sulking on the bench, no question. Brandon is a good player. He's not a good fit next to Z for the simple reason that, in the modern NBA, you can't have the two stars of your team, who get the most money and take the most shots, be non-three point shoot...
