I know the Kevin Durant sweepstakes has been a big topic of discussion, but I have a question. Would you rather see AD/KD win 2 championships in the next 5 seasons together, or would you rather see AD win a single championship alone in the next 5 seasons? Sure, 2 championships in 5 years would be huge for the city of New Orleans. However, I just feel like this team has been AD's and will now officially be AD's with his new contract extension. I honestly don't know the answer to my own question, but I was wondering would people be more satisfied with OUR GUY(AD) winning us a championship in the next 5 years, or would people be more satisfied with 2 championships with the help of Durant. I think most people will say 2 just bc of the volume/amount but idk i would feel equally as appreciative if AD alone got us 1. Thoughts?

No player can win one by himself. We need another guy, and that guy isn't currently on the roster. May as well be KD...

2 superstars teaming up is fine with me. If they add a 3rd superstar that's when I'll get pissed and stop supporting the team no matter how many titles they win.

How is that dumb? It's a simple question. Would you rather see AD win a ring by himself or win 2 rings with the help of KD? How is that dumb? I could see it going either way, why doesnt your Dumb MF Puss A** answer the question??? What's your opinion man?

Nobody is directly answering your question because the obvious answer to everyone but you is MOAR TITLES!!! There really isn't another answer.

Because we are Pelicans fans. I don't care if they win 7 titles with Adolf Hitler running point.

Ok, more titles, I could see that being an answer of a bandwagon fan for sure, or a reg fan, either or. However, if you were born and raised in NOLA and a fan since day 1, how wouldn't AD winning 1 ring alone not be more satisfying than winning 1 extra ring BUT with the help of another superstar (KD). I could honestly say I would lean towards 1 ring with OUR GUY, and our guy only. You can add another solid player to this team to make it feel just as good im just saying I think it would feel better if AD wins us 1 alone as the only superstar as opposed to KD helping him with that, that's why I added another 1 championship with the option of Kevin Durant bc that would obviously increase the odds of winning 1 more.

If KD would choose to come to New Orleans, he'd be "our guy", too.

Do you think Boston fans would trade in a few titles and dump McHale or Parish from the legacy to make Larry more Legendary? There are probably a few who would but most Celtics fans would react to them like we're reacting to you.

Alright 7 titles with Hitler running the point, great. What if we added Lebron, cousins, Ben Simmons, and chris Paul, would that not make you feel a little more accomplished?? Note I said hypothetical bc I don't think KD would come here anyways. It's not a serious question to really ponder about it's just something I thought about and decided to post so people wouldn't be bored talking about random players im free agency.

McHale and Parish are hard to compare bc their productivity is hard to compare with the productivity in todays NBA with 1 player (KD) as opposed to the productivity of 2 players who played years ago. That's why the question is hypothetical, it could all depend on where your from and how long youve been following the team for....

As someone who has been a season ticket holder every year since 2002, I'll go with more titles are better than less titles.

Do you consider Drew Brees to be one of "our guys"

Ok awesome, somebody's opinion. Yeah I consider Drew to be "the man" in NOLA as far as sports go, for now. Would you have rather see Brees win an extra ring with the help of AP and the leagues number 1 defense? Or, would you rather remember super bowl 44 and the 2008-2009 championship for what it was? A season to never be forgotten and a team that wasn't the most talented that came together for 1 season and made it happen. On paper an extra ring looks good but the argument can be made that a title with only YOUR star player from Day 1 only wins 1 ring ALONE could be just as satisfying when you look back years from now.

Drew Brees came to New Orleans through free agency, the same way that KD would come here in this hypothetical. How would Brees be "our guy" and KD not be "our guy"?
