I don't blame AD for wanting out
I don't either, and I'm usually very pro-player and(at least IMO) pretty rational and more unbiased than most.

I think he should be booed mercilessly.

why would they not boo him?

he is taking up minutes from guys who actually want to be here and play.

AD is taking away playing time from other guys on a team that he does not want to be a part of.

They should boo the ever living frick out of him, AD is as selfish as it gets in this situation.

Why would the national media care if we bood? they see too that he is taking up minutes from other actual Pelicans players.

Potential chants-

LeBron’s Your Daddy
Go to Boston
Not Your Time

Edit - “Just Call Paul” whenever things go wrong for him.

What is the benefit to the franchise of the fans booing him mercilessly.

It'll make you guys feel better. Great.

Its nothing but a negative for us though.

If it was me I'd give a small boo during the intros for cathartic purposes then just give a clap at anything else he does good.

That's it

I'm going to boo my arse off at AD all night, but if they so much as mention the name Rich Paul, I will never stop booing.

explain.

there is a player taking up minutes that doesnt want to be on the team or in the city. How can the fans not view this as the enemy?

His point is that booing a player is a negative for the fan base in the eyes of the players.


I think most current and ex players have their opinions on this and they aren’t particularly complimentary of AD.

Hence Charles Barkley ripping on LeBron by suggesting Giannis trade his whole bench for AD.

hes basically a rogue player at this point using the Pelicans for money so he can get all-NBA, how could you not boo that?

National Perception.

Player perception.

You think players around the league, or on our own team, are going to have a better, or worse perspective on our fans and franchise? Think about it STRICTLY from a player's perspective.

You think national media is going to say "Oh man that's great" or "completely classless"? Its the latter.

There is no win here for us.

Nothing him. He will go away by March and we can all move on.

You don't know anything about players then.

No. They won't like it at all.

frick it. Let's go on an unprecedented tear and make the playoffs. We arent getting a top 3 pick so what's the point if AD is gonna play?

There's a way that this situation could've been handled that would leave no ill will toward AD (for the most part), he didn't choose to take that path.



Exactly.
CP3 doesn't get booed. maybe a little, but most fans still have a special place in their heart for him even if they hate his flopping ways.

No one would have a problem had this been done in the offseason. The only reason it was done when it was, which was unprecedented, is b/c he and his agent were trying to force AD to the Lakers b/c they know the Lakers can't get him in the offseason. frick AD for that.
He does this in the offseason, especially after this shitty season, we all understand. We don't have to like it, but everyone can respect it.
He doesn't deserve respect for what he just did, and that's a shame b/c i don't think he thought this through and intended it this way. He's just a naive idiot.

Booing AD = booing Adam Silver and the NBA as far as I'm concerned.

If the league wants to force us to gamble with our top asset, they deserve for us to make it as awkward as possible for everyone involved.

Sucks for AD, but it is what it is.

The hope would be that if we can make it awkward enough, they'll retract the threats levied against us in the event we were to sit him.
