From Shamit: Since it looks like all the rumors are coming true - the final bit of intel have on this whole situation is that ownership will mandate Dumars to keep Willie Green and trade Zion. This is what I have heard.



Oh

Only thing that can bring me sorta back is a good HC hire like Malone

Don’t bank on that, Dumars is supposedly close with Willie

Better pray, they're getting the #1 pick because it's about to be a dark couple of years.

I hope the arena is completely empty next year. I really do. I want that ignorant bitch to lose millions before she turns Tom's money over to the crooked Archbishop.

Is anyone starting to suspect that Gayle just hates us all personally?

That its not utter incompetence but rather a deep seeded seething hatred for the fans of her teams.

Mandate Dumars to Trade Zion


This is a win. Hopefully we can pull this trade off and not get scammed

No Griff, No Zion. A young rook to root for. An interesting trade package to root for. Healthy Herb. Healthy Trey. 2nd year Missi.

I’m back in overall. Even if we don’t get Mike Malone or Taylor Jenkins. Add 1 of those 2 and we are cooking w gas, even w Dumars at the helm.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Would Dumars have done worse than Griff with the pile of assets Griff had to work with? Probably not. Griff has arguably has one of the most disastrous GM stints of all time these past 6 years.

We have a lot of sky is falling people right now, but this franchise needs anyone but Griff and Z at the forefront. We did that for 6 years and were largely the laughingstock of the NBA.

We’re not going to get Zion’s true value in a deal, you have to keep him

I’m glad they are going to trade Zion but I didn’t want Joe Dumars

Anything sound familiar? Replace "Zion" with "Davis" but a more incompetent POBO now? Hell no!

Keeping Willie is a major WTF.

A mandate to trade Zion being reported in the press means we get shite offers for him because they think we have no leverage.

None of that is good.

Almost as if her confidant, Aymond, told he to try and get the Pels sold soon as he needs money for his pedophile cases now rather than when she dies.

If every GM quit today, how many teams knocking on Dumars door to hire him? Same with WG like I said in different thread.

Who did we contact. Who did we interview. Did league give them list of possible good candidates.

Only way this hire makes sense is if Dumars has already rigged the lottery on his way out of the league office and we’re getting Cooper because of it.

If not, then it makes no sense

I don't think getting rid of Zion has anything to do with the next draft pick. I think the ownership is just tired of him and his baggage and wants him out of the building asap even at a loss.

My children will be grown ups by the time this organization even has an opportunity at being good. They can’t get out of their own way
