Ok again you’re misunderstanding how trades work. Trades are suppose to make your team better. Just because you are trading for a better trade asset doesn’t mean you automatically make your team better. The whole point is making your team better. Trading for them wont make our team better.
I love the lectures series. It's inspiring to watch you work.
So they are better trade assets, right? So the Grizzlies wouldn't do the trade, right?
We need to nail down that part first. You are agreeing with me that Bane and JJJ have more trade value. Correct?

Yeah but no shite genius using a trade asset ranking and saying we’re better with JJJ/Bane than Zion/BI makes absolutely no sense.
One has nothing to do with the other. I originally asked if the Grizzlies would make the trade. You said it was outlandish. So they would have to jump all over it. But then you swapped back. So I'm not sure which it is.

That doesn’t make you a better team or more competitive.
Better complimentary role players that actually show up and are good defenders. They win. I think that means a lot.

Wow. Game threads don’t usually go to shite until the game starts. I guess y’all have a lot of pent up energy.

“We need to nail down that part first. You are agreeing with me that Bane and JJJ have more trade value. Correct?”
- I never agreed to that. I am using your argument and Bill Simmons dumb list to say even if that were the case, that doesn’t necessarily means thats a good or positive trade to make us a better team or more competitive. But no I dont agree with you or Bill Simmons that they are better assets, I believe talent matters more even if there are health issues. Especially talent like Zions. And my goal would be to make the team better not have better assets (according to you and Bill Simmons). Again even using Bill Simmons list (which I dont agree with) having better trades assets doesn’t mean you’re a better team. I have to keep lecturing because you’re assuming trade assets is the same as equivalent talent or better. Its not.
Ok to be honest I never answered your question because your answer seemed like it just makes more sense to have Bane/JJJ over Zion/BI- which yes I find that outlandish. To answer your question- I don’t know honestly but I’ll try to answer. Kind of strange question to ask when the season is about to begin but whatever. If I was with pels I wouldn’t do it because its a dumb trade and your completely limiting your ceiling and potential. If Im Grizz, I would because your getting better players period.
So you rather trade a bonafide superstar who has health issues and an all star 20 point scorer with some health issues for better complimentary role players who defend? Am I getting that right? Yes, again I think that’s outlandish. Your welcome on the lecture series “NBA for Dummies.”

I refuse to have any expectations regarding the Pelicans till after January.
Last season did a number on me.

Hit the boards HARD. Zion and Jonas must take control of this game start to finish. No need to mix it up, pound them down low until the game is out of hand like we did to the Nets to start last season
