re: Would you be pleased w/ Tari Eason at 7-10?
Posted by DeionDeion on 5/12/22 at 1:59 pm
A few things we need to understand when it comes to drafting.
1) Fred Vinson won't magically fix every shot. Some kids don't have the mindset, work ethic, coachability, etc to do that. Plus there is a big difference between Fred making Herb someone defenses have to respect vs Trey as someone def...

if it's about Zion needing/already having a second surgery (which I really think is going to be the announcement), it makes me wonder about the report that the Pels are trying to be buyers at the deadline...

What's hilarious and also sad to me is that this is a 7-page thread that accomplishes nothing. many posts show there is an understanding of how foolish these conversations are, but many on the left and right both yell aimlessly into the clouds thinking they are making vali...

what I'm saying is trading away a 35 year old big vs a 28 year old big is WAY harder. Again the contract at his age is what scared Griff off and I cannot blame him....

re: SVG said players didn’t get him fired (twitter)
Posted by DeionDeion on 6/18/21 at 5:45 pm
Reasons SVG was fired:
1) Griff wanted more say in what players got minutes (main one was Bledsoe).
2) Stan was brought in to be an a-hole and some of the players (not Zion) did NOT take it well. Caused a ton of friction
3) Stan was kind of a jerk this season and didn't connect with owners...

Adams still has serviceable years ahead of him in this league. He's an intelligent guy, a great teammate, and a good leader. Horford is 8 years...

I know this isn't what we are talking about here, but Zion was neutral about SVG. Didn't hate being pushed, but did hate losing. He and his family did hate the regression.

Coach
-I want a coach that can motivate the players, can manage all the personalities, and is on the same page with ownership
-I think since there are so many voices/egos involved in this organization, I say we take a younger coach looking to prove themselves
Hart, Lonzo, Bled, Adams

just because one story is unequivocally false, doesn't mean the Zion story is also false. that's just bad logic man
fact is this team isn't going anywhere. and Zion's family has been a pain since he arrived in New Orleans. ...

same stuff is happening in Dallas with Luka. it is Griffin's job (and most front office's job) to find a balance between building an organization that can be a 'sustainable winner' while also not wasting seasons you have an all-world talent...
