Sign Dowdle and use the money and high picks to beef up the lines with elite talent.

Need him to buy both franchises. Pels are fricked as long as Gayle is running the show.

Until we have a new owner and Dumars is gone, no amount of reshuffling of scouts or coaches is gonna make much of a difference. We need to tear it down to the studs, a true rebuild. Nothing less will make a difference.

As bad as Griff was, Dumars is MUCH worse.

Guess we’ll go on a 15 game losing streak now. And some of you fricks want to give JB a 5 year contract for a 5 game streak. This team is terribly constructed even if the coaching is considerably better.

So Borrego is or isn't doing a good job? The team doesn't have a true closer/alpha/leader. Until we get one or one of the young guys becomes that guy, we're gonna be mediocre. Borrego is doing the most with what he's been given.

No. She’s worse than that. She’s evil.

The most generous interpretation I can make is he's trying to say Bryson Graham knew the team would suck because he was here and Dumars didn't because he was new. That makes some sense but I'm doing some heavy lifting for him.

I think this is definitely what Hollinger meant, he just didn't articulate it very well. That Dumars didn't understand just how hopeless this team was and Graham knew very well. Graham knew he hit the jackpot, Dumas was clueless enough to think it was a calculated risk.

We know because sources inside the Atlanta FO made it clear they had to keep asking to make sure they were hearing correctly, that Dumars and Weaver were, in fact, offering the pick next year with ZERO protections.

quote:

One Eastern executive with knowledge of how the conversation went from Atlanta’s perspective described a perplexing scene. When one Pelicans executive made the call to Atlanta, the Hawks couldn’t believe what was actually being offered. Atlanta asked for clarification multiple times to confirm the unprotected pick was indeed part of the deal. It got to the point where Hawks General Manager, Onsi Saleh, called Joe Dumars directly to confirm for himself. The Hawks waited nervously for Dumars to confirm, hoping he would not realize what was going on and walk the trade back. But the Pelicans persisted and the Hawks got their steal.

I think we can all agree that it was a terrible trade, that is slightly more bearable now, since Queen has played at a high level. Doesn't excuse the downright malpractice by Dumars and Weaver.

God the people in this thread are insufferable. You haven't watched one minute of a Candace Owen's podcast since Charlie was murdered. If yall had you would clearly know that:

1. She has never accused or insinuated that Erika Kirk had ANYTHING to do with the assassination. She has actually done the exact opposite, which is defend Erika and say that Erika is one of only two(her own husband being the other) that could make her stop. The fact that she hasn't stopped, means Erika hasn't asked. Think about why that could be...

2. All of the questions Candace has asked have been logical, rational questions. Things everyone was asking in the weeks following the assassination. She has just not let up, because Charlie was one of her best friends. She wants answers, as do the millions of people that listen to her each day. These people dont trust the FBI and DOJ to get the truth out(why should they), so they're watching each week to see what Candace uncovers.
3. The people at TPUSA did across very questionable in the minutes after CK was murdered. There were cameras everywhere, so its easy to see for yourself. If you dont think they behaved strangely and if the official narrative makes complete sense to you, then i suspect you still believe the official narrative for JFK, 9/11, etc..

Let's see this play out. Im glad TPUSA is finally willing to answer these questions. This is what everyone, including Candace, has wanted from the beginning. The truth. The people who just want the story buried and over with are the ones that I question.

I took TWolves -3.5 at the end of the 3rd. Knew it was free money.
