Pels talk starts 11:50

There are basically no answers to the situation. Decimated by injuries, a superstar that never plays, assets that make no sense with each other. There's no one more unreliable than Zion except for Embiid

They draft well, but the team makes zero sense.

Professional Basketball may just not work in New Orleans and it may be time to move on. The arena is the worst Arena in the league, it is unbelievable awful. The players and agents comment often behind the scenes that they know they are a bottom tier organization.

They need a culture change desperately

We are there to watch basketball. I get so tired of these arena complaints. The SKC has no negative impact on watching basketball.

All an overpriced arena will do is make ticket prices much more expensive.

This shite sucks. Just to be vulnerable for a second this shite means something to me, because obviously I wouldn't dedicate the amount of time I do to it if it didn't. To be at the mercy of a bunch of fricking morons who don't know their right hand from their left hand just really fricking sucks.

If you've never been to another arena, you won't know any better. But if you've been to any one of the top 15 arenas in the league, it's an eye opener for sure.

If/when we’re in the playoffs, that place is packed and nobody can see the multi colored seats from the hornets era.
Win and nobody will care about the arena.

I agree with everything except the drafting part and the Arena. I’ve been to other arenas and they aren’t much better than the SKC. It’s a fine venue.

Ever been to MSG or Brooklyn? Total dumps. SKC is a palace compared to those. Getting a new / refurbished arena won't change the fact that the Pels are arguably one of the worst run pro franchises in all of sports. An accountant runs the team. Think about that for a minute. Not some guy with a basketball background, nor an ex player. An accountant! Dumars still has to answer to Loomis. Might be as bad as the Saints having an astronaut as GM back in the 70s. Some of you old timers remember that?
