A couple people wanted to try argue there is no way that was in Griff's mind when he hid the injury and, after confirmation today, intentionally spoke in easily misinterpreting language with plausible deniability during the press conference about Zion's timeline for return


Man I didn’t even think about that angle. That’s 1000% what was going on.

Every survey they ask you to do, mention bringing back OG Pierre for Halloween. I’ve been doing it for years and if enough do it, maybe it sticks.

Kevin O Connor basically said the other day on his pod he heard/felt there was some financial damage control going on with the decisions around the disclosure of Zion's injury and timeline. Explaining why it went the way it did.

Trade him now
He wants out
No need to parlay this into a long term anthony davis or chris paul situation
Let him leave money on the table

The best scenario is to sell the Pels in order to keep the Saints
Not to mention the state is doing things for the Pels no other NBA team gets from their state

what in the absolute frick! Is there a place where i can place a bet that he doesn't play in 2021, b/c we aren't going to see him until January at best.


Man it's a good thing we signed a backup PF this offseason since we dind't last offseason, and had no true backup PG last year, or the year before b/c Nico sucks.

I guess we'll just watch Naji and Hart get manhandled by the bigger 4's of the league.

Didn’t they do something similar his rookie year and waited to disclose the extent of him being out until the season ticket deadline passed or am I misremembering?

Technically they didn't lie his rookie year. Zion was ready to play 4-6 weeks before they allowed him to. Just another disaster by Griff.

I'd love to get Randle back. The Knicks would do anything to get Zion.

Zion, Hart, Hernangomez and Marshall

For

Randle, Toppin, Quickley, Robinson, 5 1sts unprotected and 4 pick swaps

Hayes is going to be our primary 4 for big stretches.

Yall remember all offseason how I bitched and complained about how concerned I was about not getting a backup 4? And I was routinely told how that wasn't a concern?

This is why Griffin's jobs is safe and will be safe long after the Zion era. Griffin knows how to sell and create optimism. He also knows how to get out of a bad situation. Ie. Recouping SVG salary through obtaining and selling picks for cash. And not being afraid of trading away assets to undo Bledsoe and Adams acquisitions.

Ownership doesn't know enough about basketball to understand how poor his basketball related moves have been. It's no wonder he always so damn confident.

You complain about so much that I don't think many people can isolate any one thing you complained about.

Zion Williamson (foot) will be re-evaluated in two weeks and there's no return timetable for now, Pelicans' David Griffin says.

I liked this offseason quite a lot, pretty much the only thing I complained about, roster wise, was the lack of a PF.

Try again.
