Same old shite. Just ride out the year, fire Demps and Gentry, and then let the new GM orchestrate the Davis trade and try again.

I agree. frick everyone. It was nice actually not watching tonight. Sometimes you’ve got to just sit back and watch the whole mother fricker burn to the ground.

Bring me Hinkie! We’ve got the assets to go on some wild multi year dream tank to horde picks and young players. Give me that shite.

If they allow Demps to make the Davis trade I'm going to relinquish my Pelicans Fandom and just go all in on the Luka Doncic train.

Not sure what’s going on but I refuse to believe the team is this bad.

I’m done with the NBA. All of the talent is consolidated in 7-8 cities. New Orleans has no chance of ever competing. And then we hamper ourselves with Gentry and possibly the dumbest GM in the league

It really is painful watching them compete for 45 minutes and then those final 3 minutes fall through their hands without a point guard to steady the ship. But I'm holding out hope until after Elf gets back

No ball handler. A coach that's rigid in his system. Low IQ team. A superstar who can coast to 30 point games while not really leading to wins who wants to get the frick out. Solomon Hill making $11 million.

New Orleans is going to have to build through the draft. Oklahoma City isn't a traditional free agent destination but they've been able to stay relevant. Demps gets cap space and then negotiates against himself for Solomon Hill.

Really sad that a vet minimum guy means this much to the team.

They should have been building in the draft since we got AD but Benson wanted to win right now which wasn’t possible.

There are about 8 good NFL teasm, MLB teams,etc.

This team doesn’t have organizational infrastructure to withstand injuries.

NFL doesn't have the same problem of all the players wanting to go to a few different cities.

Really sucks they screwed up building around AD. Would have liked to seen them build young around AD, then take that approach they did in 13-14 bringing in Jrue and Tyreke.

There tax system is a good one.

Teams that draft well, routinely, compete. Other markets make smart signings.

Lakers have been in the lottery for like 4 years. Signing LeBron, yeah, the vets as well.

Pels drafted AD and haven’t drafted anyone of impact on a cheap deal after him. 60 odd teammates.No GLeague team to help steady the ship when injuries happen. That’s on Demps, Loomis and The Bensons.

Besides the patriots it's different every two years or so. Saints hadvthree 9-7 seasons in a row and now the last two, they're at the top. Rams too. Chargers, chiefs, Texans pop up, green bay, NYG, Denver are down. Much more drama in an NFL season.
