If we hire Darvin fricking Ham and try to win now then I just don’t know how much I have left in me

Is there a 25th amendment for NBA owners?

You started your reply with "Theres no way I'm...."
I guess you're one of the many that see trade ideas from 'what I were do if I were the GM' rather than the reality of 'what Weavers/Dumars would do.'

I wouldn't do it either. But Weaver/Dumars might. All reports are theyre looking to win now and keep the 'core'of players here (lol). So adding Gobert would be adding a top rebounder and rim protector force- the exact weakness of the current Pels team-- and Gobert has gotten his teams to playoffs consistently and WCFs.

Hopefully they could get some other asset out of it, but I could see the Weaver/Dumars logic of it.

Pro sports where you can be a fat lazy bust for years and be rewarded with $30 million.

Could be wrong, but didn't Dumars say something similar near the deadline when all the reports were that the Pels shopped Zion but no one wanted him?

I think we just went 23-40 this season in games Zion played.

His skills have not developed. His athleticism is declining.

At least as an expiring contract he might eventually have some trade value.

Extending Zion is so stupid.

Translation: The best offer we got for Zion is so bad that I’d be crucified worse than the Queen trade, so we’ll hire some retread that promises to get them to play well together.

Please go the frick away dipshit.


You have got to be the most miserable person in the world. You hate everything NOLA/LA, but continue to post on all of their forums. Why not just avoid the things you dislike instead of regurgitating the same shite over and over about wanting to sell the teams. You bring nothing to any thread you post in except for constant complaining and negativity.

I want him gone as much as anyone but I can accept that as long as he isn't extended.

Keeping Zion isn’t a win now move. We’ve had 7 years of not winning with him. That isn’t changing in year 8. he has zero game outside of offensively driving left to the goal and finishing b/c of athleticism. He has zero footwork, can’t dribble, refuses to shoot or even move off ball, doesn’t rebound and is one of the laziest defenders to ever play. His game doesn’t mesh well with anyone b/c he has no game and doesn’t play defense.



I was told by more than one person on here xion had more than his one move, which is driving to the left.
