ray ratto is the voice of reason at deadspin

let that sink in

In short, the only way the new, re-weighted draft lottery could have gone wrong would have been if the incompetent Lakers or Knicks or the even more egregious aggressive tankers like Phoenix and Cleveland HAD won the lottery. Not that that can’t happen in future drafts, or that teams won’t keep tanking for a 14 percent chance at the top pick rather than 25 percent. Still, it worked this time, and had it not, an argument could be made that such a prize would never have been less earned, or been presented to less qualified people. New Orleans may not have gotten what it deserved, but they come a hell of closer than their alleged peers.

Ive seen maybe 10-15 pels games in 5 years with AD. And most were with the Hawks playing. He is stuck in NOLA. NYC he would shine, or LA. It is what it is. This isnt football.

You can watch him if you want to. Just because he's not part of ESPN's Knicks/Lakers doubleheader doesn't mean he's "not on TV" anymore.

They get killed in the comments for every Pelicans article since AD requested the trade. Their POV on the issue makes no sense but they keep beating the dead horse. They're literally just mad because the Pelicans didn't do exactly what AD wanted. It was something along the lines of "he's a human being who's upset and they're being mean by making him upset".

I dont know why you guys are even responding to Atlanta fans. They are terrible trolls, and the least knowledgeable fans in all of sports.

Pels better enjoy the 4 years of Zion, cause he aint staying past that.
5 years minimum, but more likely 7 years.

And yes, yes we will enjoy his 5 years.

Deadspin has TDS so bad, that they literally need to whine and cry about something every few hours.

That team deserves to spend half a decade wandering in the NBA’s hinterlands, churning out grueling 22-win seasons.


But why? It’s not like the Pels haven’t tried to win. It’s just that nothing they have done has worked.

It was pretty bad. I understand that it often looks worse because they commonly link to their some of their sister sites who are more political focused.
