Griff is such a damn disappointment. My most Major beef with him right now is how he handled the Lonzo sign and trade situation. He had a lot of leverage that he just simply refused to use. We really didn’t have to agree to that shite at 5:01.

How long before we find out that Griffin didn't offer jack shite to any of those big names, and instead just told their agents to make it sound like he did so Zion thinks he tried


No, and the moon landings weren't fake either. Geez.

We'll see what the final tally ends up being, but Chicago had other even bigger moves to make, so right now it looks like Griff played nice with Chicago in a hostile situation and then got taken advantage of by Charlotte.

I'm hoping the reports of Charlotte wanting to possibly expand the deal to go after Lauri could give the Pels leverage to get some change back at least.

Fingers crossed my man. I just don’t like when we don’t maximize assets. It sticks in my craw. And I’m not even a Lonzo stan. Seems like we made the decision early that there was no circumstance that we wanted him to return in which made Chicago more bold in pushing us around. I just think that’s a mistake. Resigning Lonzo at 21m a year would have been a very defensible contingency plan. I’d feel great about the spot up shooting we have around Zion right now if we had Zo, Devonte, Starter NAW, and Murphy surrounding him. As well as Jonas and Hayes who can hit 3’s if they shoot them.

Considering Charlotte just picked up Oubre and they also want Lauri, do you think there is anyway we can get a Miles Bridges or PJ Washington back somehow? Both would fit well and PJ especially is besties with Devonte.

Be honest do you know once Lonzo signed a offer sheet you cant do a sign and trade.

Think Chicago offers him that much unless they can get him in a sign and trade?

They’ll just be whiny fricks until the team starts winning. If we are dog shite this year they’ll be all over the board saying “I told you so!” If we’re great they’ll just forget how miserable they were all off-season. It’s kind of a win-win tbh.

I just don’t understand why they’re mad at some of us trying to be positive and be fans. What good is whining like a little bitch on a message board gonna do anyway? Gayle gonna read pels talk and fire Griff for you?

So, should people only come to the board to declare how wonderful it was for them to give up assets to create cap space? Are we only allowed to like everything? Is that why you come to a message board, to make sure you document that you agree with everything?

Absolutely not. Of course we can disagree and discuss but half of these people bring nothing to the discussion other than “This was a disaster fire Griff”

That may be true, but on the other extreme there are people who just seem to like to constantly bitch. I call it the Little League dad syndrome.

There’s a difference between “I’m having my period” and “let me spread this blood on as much as I can.”


Like ok. shite sucks. But the incessant bitching and negativity is pointless.

So far, living in denial has been working. Earlier everyone had given up but I still Pelieved.

And now look. News came out and we have hope again.




Ps, Baron, can you turn that B into a P? Pretty please? Thank you.
