Yes but do you trust him to act big in a positive way? I sure as shite don’t. Something has to change though.

Definitely agree. Actually glad we are getting clapped so it can be a reality check for Griff that you absolutely cannot run this same team back. Soft rebuild/major move has to happen.

There are only so many realistic paths to take though. I will say that one thing I don't expect is for a rookie to replace BI or CJ. I know some people have thrown out trades with teams like Detroit or Charlotte where the Pels send out BI and stuff and one of the things coming back is a top 4 pick. If that does end up happening, I can't imagine them not making it a multi team trade with someone else getting the pick and the Pels getting a ready for the playoffs player.

Lol if you think griff will do anything of significance

It's become obvious to everyone, national media included, that you can't not start Trey, which means something serious has to give. If their weren't a tax I could see the possibility of just shifting CJ to the bench. But there is a tax, so I expect 2 starters to get changed, JV and one of BI/CJ.

They are going to trade at least one of the 3 this offseason. We will have at least 2 new starters, if not 3.

I also think BI is going to ask for out behind the scenes.

I think this will happen. Willie benching him and then he’ll blame the team for rushing him back too soon after injury when he wasn’t ready and he looked like shite in the playoffs. He wont take accountability and will likely point the fingers.

Yep, i've thought the same, but good call, first time I've seen it posted.


Myabe it's just all the injury, but it sure seems like since he was benched inthe play in game that he's just checked out.

It's the playoffs, and this dude just has no motivation whatsoever or a sense of pride to fight back on Dort. He's just taking it and just doesn't care. It really does seem like he's counting down the days til it's over in NO.


If you have a team like DET or CHA that is just tired of losing it really could be a good partnership for a trade for what both teams are looking for. Those 2 teams get their #2 that can make them a bit more relevant, and we'll see if the Pels can extract enough value to make the current team better.

I also think he wants his money and if he can go somewhere and pad his stats and maybe get an all-star or all-nba selection (which I don’t think will happen); he’ll get a better deal. Staying here won’t get him that especially since the team seems like they are fully committing to Zion being the #1 guy.

Charlotte will be interesting if they get JJ as a head coach- we know he loves BI.

You can go get whobever you want this team is winning shite with Willie as HC and unfortunately he will be back next season. So we will be is the 40+ wins and a play in scenario again, but Memphis and Houston will be better and we will not.
