anybody was wondering about Dumars philosophy on building a championship roster, its to find scorers. Not necessarily shooters. SAS asks him very specifically here. Pelicans will continue to try to win with no spacing


Dumars also hates analytics.

We are frickED.

According to Kushner, 3 days ago he started hearing from other NBA people and execs that Dumars and his kids were letting everyone know it was a done deal, and they were already gearing up to move to New Orleans.

The more I'm listening to Kushner the more depressing it gets. I know he is a long time fierce critic of the franchise but he isn't wrong.

He basically has said that he knows people with the team flat out do not believe they can win anything, ever, long term in this league, and this is another move indicating that.

If this is the hire I’m done. I’ve wasted too much time and energy wanting them to succeed and dealing with the failure and incompetence.

All those dumb jerseys and hats lol.

Listening to the Boot Krewe podcast from last night and it’s incredibly depressing

McNamara came on and gave some insight into ownership.

Basically says Gayle doesn’t care about the Pels, she will never pay the tax, the whole “she will pay the tax if the team is good” narrative is completely false, she won’t pay it now and won’t pay it in the future

That's what I was watching this morning.

People can say they brought in every hater they could on that show, like Mac and Kushner...

But they are haters for a reason. They are RIGHT about this franchise.

If you notice, the biggest haters are the ones that have the most insight into ownership.

That’s a huge red flag.

Mac has been saying the same shite for years and everyone has bagged on him.

But he was 100% right all along, spot dead on. He knew.

He admitted I think for the first time that he had been close to Jeff Bower and his family, and then Dell, and that's how he knew a lot of things.

When the pelicans finally move, the 30 for 30 about the worst franchise in sports history is going to be electric

She wont have to pay the tax if she ensures theyre never good. So technically she didnt ‘lie’ through her sabotage

People that cover the team are coming out very critical of the move, which you never see.

If his first move is firing the coaching staff namely Willie Green then I may give him a couple months to see what he has up his sleeve.

He keeps Willie I’m out
