Emmanwori is number 1. I’d trade up for him. After that give me Will Johnson, Luther Burden or Mike green

Still a ton of good players available. We should be in a good spot at 40.

Very safe pick. Not bad but not exciting

Start getting familiar with Maluach from Duke. If we don’t get a top 3 pick I would bet a lot of money he’s the pick

re: What is so special about VJ Edgecombe?
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 4/24/25 at 7:25 am
Yeah I’m not a huge fan. He’s apparently closer to 6’3 with a 6’5 wingspan. He’s an electric athlete but if you’re gonna be that size you have to have on ball ability and that’s a huge question mark with him. Otherwise you have an undersized, off ball shooting guard with a questionable shot and that’s just not a valuable skill set.
He’s gotta really improve his handle and playmaking

re: Troy Weaver hired to be Senior VP

The boot krewe guys said they’re hearing that much of the coaching staff will be leaving this offseason not because they’re being fired but because they don’t believe in Willie and are choosing to separate from him
re: Season ticket sales are so bad, Pels giving away free parking all year

Good. Do you think they know it’s because of all their shitty decisions or do you think they’re dumbfounded as to why sales are bad?

This is going to be an epic disaster. Dumars saw a GM that couldn’t win more that 23 games in a season and said “I want that guy.”

People are going to say he did a shite job with the Pistons, and maybe he did. But he did bring in a lot of the players that the Pistons are using now (Langdon made great moves for Schroeder, Harris,Beasley though)
He drafted well. Ivey, Duren, Stewart, Ausar plus some other guys. Not gonna count Cade since he was a no brainer #1 pick.
However, he built a pretty terrible roster when it was clear the team needed shooting for years.
Also hired Monty Williams and gave him an enormous contract on for him to be god awful and got fired after one year
Langdon came in, got Beasley, Hardaway, Tobias Harris and they become the 6th seed
Pelicans hire Troy Weaver to be senior vice president under Dumars

The guy who had a 54-192 record as the Pistons GM.

Exactly. I’m not sure this guy has a plan for this organization. All he keeps saying is getting good people in the building and focusing on intangibles. That’s cool and all but I want to know what you think this team needs, and what kind of team you’re trying to build

Everyone knows that guy at work who is terrible at his job but everyone likes him so they keep him around.

Fletcher reporting that Bryson Graham and Willie Green are expected to be retained.
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 4/16/25 at 7:20 am
I like the Bryson move. He reportedly is one of the reasons we’ve drafted well in the Griff era.
The Willie move is just bonkers. Complete brain dead move. He only has a year left on his contract so hopefully we just let it run out and Willie leads us to another top 5 pick.
If we extend Willie I will melt even harder
