Pels Preview

Good quick read on the outlook of the Pels this year. A few stats that jumped out to me

AD and Jrue on the court

quote:

Together, they form a potent pair capable of desecrating defenses and stifling offenses. In the whopping 2,225 minutes the duo played together, according to NBA stats, they posted a solid 108.8 offensive rating, and their 101.8 defensive rating ranks as the second best number of any partnership that featured in over 2,000 minutes.


Julius Randle stat that has me excited

quote:

Randle scored 1.11 points per possession last season, grading him above noted fast break specialists Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook, among others. Not only is Randle quick on his feet, he has a super handle for a player of his size, and ends the break with both strong and deft finishes.

Gonna need somebody to sign Stephen Jackson to a contract before they play the Wolves.

It's entirely possible we hit NBA training camp and the SACRAMENTO KINGS are outside the top-1 in franchise dysfunction so I think we should all just be proud of ourselves for a fully bonkers offseason.

Stephen Jackson posted a not so nice video about Andrew Wiggins. Andrew Wiggins is less than pleased.

You guys will enjoy him. He arguably was our best player last season. Definitely our most consistent.

I think it was Jackson that said he would love for the Pels to give him a call a year or so ago.

I know y'all added Lebron and others but it's still crazy to me that you can make that statement and then y'all just renounced him for nothing.

I was pretty pissed at the time. I would’ve loved to see how Randle would work out as a small ball 5 next to Lebron.

IIRC Randle asked to be renounced after a meeting with the Lakers because they didn’t offer him a long term contract. Also there’s rumors that the Lakers front office and Randle’s agent Aaron Mintz have some sort of beef considering he’s also the agent of D’angelo Russell and Paul George. Most seem to believe Mintz is the one who notified Silver that Magic was tampering

Sounds like agent played a role in pg not coming to LA?

I wish AD would get an agent who has issues with a few big market teams.

Somebody better let Wiggins know about SJ’s hands. Wiggins don’t want any of that issue

Bill Simmons had a pretty funny conspiracy theory on that a while back. He thinks Mintz was mad the Lakers new front office used Russell in a salary dump to the Nets. So then Magic continues tampering with George even after getting fined by the NBA. Mintz rats them out to Silver but Silver knows Lebron wants to go to LA. So Silver tells Magic he won’t make this public and won’t take draft picks but you can’t sign George. If you continue doing this, I’ll penalize the shite out of the Lakers and screw up your chances with Lebron. That’s why George didn’t even meet with the Lakers.

Crazy I know and there’s maybe a 0.01% chance it’s true but this is the NBA we are talking about

I think George and the Lakers were working together to force a trade. The Lakers decided they didn't want to give up more than Clarkson and a late 1st. Pissed George off and the rest is history.

He gave the Hawks some great minutes that season Horford went down, and the next year on the 60 win team.

Minnesota is holding Jimmy hostage according to Woj.

quote:

Story filed to ESPN: Rival executives lobbing calls to Minnesota’s front office on possibility of trading for Jimmy Butler are getting inquires shut down. Minnesota is telling teams that Butler’s an elite player and franchise intends to keep him.

Since it seems like Jimmy is refusing to go back to Minnesota maybe he can just play in all of their road games.
