Who cares if there is still 52 minutes until the deadline passes.

There's simply no chance whatsoever that Griffin will make a move in this time.

So contain all of your various vents in this thread.

Have at it.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

I really just wish they would've found a way to move Bledsoe. I know that's not very easy though.

I'd be much angrier if we had dealt Lonzo for peanuts

I won’t vent. I want to keep Lonzo. I’d be upset if Bledsoe is still starting but meh.

Everyone was on the "Don't Trade Lonzo" bandwagon the last month since he has played so well. Then Papa Ball speaks and everyone jumps off the train bc Lonzo doesn't want to be here.

If the value isn't good regarding a possible return, then you keep him, match the RFA offer and then trade him in a year when he has good value as opposed to giving him away for pennies on the dollar.

Not trading Bledsoe is Bledsoes fault bc he has created ZERO value for himself over the last month.

I do wish we would make some sort of move, but its not the end of the world or the end of this teams ability to grow in the future.

I’m not at them not making a move but gauging the interest in Lonzo will be key to this off-season moves. Someone will overpay Zo, Pels will match in a sign and trade deal.

This.


Screams of a move that seems ok/good at the time and then there will be articles 3 years from now arse blasting us for moving him for pennies.

Love him or hate him, lonzo is getting better every year and I would expect that to continue. The players that are rumored to be offered are already arguably not as good as lonzo and have stagnated/regressed.

Pass.

As long as Bledsoe is coming off the bench Friday night, its all good.

If someone signs Zo to an offer sheet, all we can do is match, we cannot sign and trade him at that point.

I just have a nagging suspicion this franchise is about to overpay Lonzo to stay here

We all want Bledsoe moved... No market and NO ONE wants Griff to attach a 1st to move him. He will be more tradeable in the offseason hopefully.

As for as Zo, dont mind not trading him for ANY of the known offers that were discussed for the past month. Rather, go into offseason attempting to resign him or do a sign and trade if he is offered a contract by a team that wants him to such an absurd sum over $20 mil.

Concerning Reddick, at this point, I wouldnt do a buyout now either. Honor the contract. We will now get nothing for him regardless. Might as well play him to see if we have a shot at a playoff push.

I was hoping Griff would ADD to trying for a playoff push but maybe staying pat might actually be the best move. Still evaluating roster and any move now would likely net a negative gain as to the players involved in trade rumors.

you can literally make the case that most non maxed out free agent players get overpaid.

Back when the Powerball was over a billion, I had a dream that I won, and used the money to become a majority owner of the Pels.

Bledsoe and Zo were traded at the deadline

Griffin quit after I told him that every move he made would be coming to my desk for a final decision

SVG was fired after not hitting his defensive benchmarks

Grabbed a proper 3 and D wing in the draft

We slid BI to the 2

TD became the number 1 source for Pels news because I used this account to leak information

One can dream, right?

PS: It’s mind boggling to me that we did not make any moves today
