Pels are 3-7 in their last 10

I talked about this in another thread but probably more relevant here, so I'll just copy/paste it...

You could probably argue this about every upcoming stretch, but I do think the stretch that probably has already started up until we get 1 or both of our guys back will be the most important stretch of the season.

We're not handling it well at all(not due to lack of effort, just outmanned), not that it's terribly surprising but we're losing at a pretty alarming rate.

If we don't get 1 guy back for 2 or more weeks, and we keep playing the same, it may be too late by the time both guys return. We'll be flirting with .500 unless we start playing better or get a guy back. By that time, it may just be too late to do any real contending.

This is a title contending team when healthy, and that's how the season should be judged. Doesn't mean anything less than a title is failure, but we need to contend in a legit manner for this to be a success.

I feel bad for all of the Pels fans clinging to "We're the 3rd seed, everything's fine."

What this does show is you probably do need a significant trade. I think it makes a Bogdonavic or OG level trade a lot more likely rather than something smaller.

The one thing this tells me is that we don't need to make a trade for OG

Great player, but:

A) The cost for him would be INSANE and I just do not want to give guys like Dyson up

and

B) His skillset is sort of the opposite of what we need. We need SHOOTERS. We need 3 point making ability. We just cannot contend until we increase that

I think both OG and Trent Jr. make zero sense for the Pels because of long term money you'd have to give them. But I do think the Pels probably feel they need some more injury insurance like what Jonas gives them which is why I think they go bigger rather than smaller in a trade.

Our problem last night was offense. CJ was the only guy that could create his own shot. OG and Trent dont solve that.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we are snake bitten as a franchise. Our star players are always injured. It is nuts. AD always hurt, we trade for Boogie - he dies, BI is fragile, Zion is a stud but is in street clothes more than a uniform. Do we need to do some sort of voodoo shite on the arena? It was obviously built on some burial grounds.

If you want more depression fuel, I thought Zion looked huge in that goofy getup he was wearing

I always thought we could sustain as long as we have 1 of BI or Zion on the floor for the entire year. This team can not afford to lose both guys at the same time for an extended period. We are basically seeing one of the worst case scenarios play out. We did fine for a short period but teams have enough tape on this group to exploit the flaws. We are in a very vulnerable position right now waiting for BI to come back.

Hard to get rabid when your best players are made of glass

Long season and there will be ups and downs. Obviously, this is a down swing. Should get the dub on Friday. Hopefully we get Herb back, that will help tremendously. We are about 10 days away from getting Zion back...that is critical. No idea re BI, but hoping sooner than that

I'm firmly in the no-trade camp, especially since the Lakers are one LeGM ankle turn from complete implosion. Dyson instead of Duren is the only move that even kind of bums me out, but I think that in a year or two Dyson will be super helpful for us.

ETA: Stay the course, Sons.
