Really good extremely high potential player with high character.

But of course everyone in the league knows

Hey Joe, you do realize that you could have had Nate Ament this year with the #8 pick, correct? I hope that no one even answers his calls. Please, please ignore the phone call. We need to catch a break.

Don’t see how we get high enough to get him unless you’re trading Trey.

Given the high risk, high reward with him. I would trade Herb for Ament, not Trey.

If thats their way of rebuilding,.I'm fine with that. At some point, a lot of vets will need to be traded to make room for the young players to get minutes.

Logically, it would make sense to Herb would get traded in order to draft Ament which would allow Bey (with an extension) to start in his position. However, it’s the Pelicans so it might be a terrible Trey trade and they take Ament.

I think he was something like 44% from the field and 37% from three in SEC play. That kind of uptick with the increase in competition is noteworthy, imo

Let's hope no one answers Dumars calls to throw away Trey, Herb and future unprotected 1sts.

Ament has such a long way to go before he lives up to his recruiting hype. Not a fan

Unless someone offered me an unreal deal for Herb or # 1, I believe I would stand pat with what I have right now and concentrate on midseason moves that would probably yield better returns.

Go with

Murray
Herb (maybe Bey)
3M3
Queen
Missi

Let # 1 come off the bench with Fears. Bey, Poole/Peavy, and Karlo.

If they wanted to bring in a cheap 'big', I would kick the tires on UFA Jock Landale who shows he has the ability to stretch the court. By no means is he a permanent fix for the center position, but he could be a bridge until we identify our long-term 5. Reminds me a little of Hartenstein.

If your parents just happened to frick in the DMV area, you have a better than 0 chance of being drafted by an NBA franchise

Our bench would legit destroy our starters in a game. 3 out of 4 best players coming off the bench.

This is getting to be genuinely retarded that Weaver only scouts and wants players from this area. He acts like he is recruiting for the University of Maryland, instead of trying to build an NBA basketball team.

I'm sick of this dude. He's a frickin clown.

Who are three of top four players in your opinion? Fears, Bey, and who?

Nonetheless, assuming if you are right, it would stand to reason that our 'bench' would destroy other 'benches'...no?

I'd love to play this game with you of how bad you think Zion sucks. But if you don't know that Zion is by far the most talented player on our team, I don't know how to convince you otherwise. It's just really obvious..

I'm not quarreling you about the talent; he's gifted. Where you are wrong is calling him a top four PLAYER on the team.

Why?

You got to play to be called a player!!! But, never mind that, when he does participate, he DOES NOT make this team better. Just this year he graced us with his presence 62 times and we were rewarded with just 26 wins (on a team that wasn't trying to tank).

I know his stans think he walks on water, but all I see is a sinking ship. And our record since his inception in New Orleans bears me out.

SEVEN YEARS AND FAILING!!!

^^^^^
