re: Pels vs Grizzlies Game 1 Thread
Posted by AboveTheRim on 10/22/25 at 9:56 pm to saintsfan22
The center position will kill us game after game throughout the season . It’s the worst C rotation in the league .
Got nothing from Murphy tonight . He was dreadful which is typical for his first 10- 15 games every season .
Poole was good in the 1st quarter then disappeared
Hawkins should not touch the court .
Was hoping Willie would go back to .5 basketball but that didn’t happen with more shooters on the roster .
The third quarter was embarrassing.
In the 4th quarter they gave JA straight line warmup layups coast to coast twice off of made baskets .

This is best case scenario imo

There is no justification . They fell in love with a player . Ppl do stupid things for love .
This qualifies as a stupid thing.

I feel like the nba fan base has really lost their way at times
I feel like the NBA as a whole has lost its way. I love the game but my interest has waned greatly . Part of that is admittedly Pels specific but the quality of the game has deteriorated , pride in team has gone out the window so there in limited longevity of Star players on a team . The league has favored headlines and drama over the on court product .
Now get off my lawn .

Trade him now. Only path forward .
re: Thoughts on Reed Sheppard as a buy low guy?
Posted by AboveTheRim on 5/16/25 at 6:46 pm to Silverfoxx
1. I don’t think he’s a buy low guy . I think the Rockets Value him.
2 . I’m on record dating back to last season that I think he’s going to be a terrific player for a very long time
3. I think it would take a Zion deal to pry him away or major assets going out .

re: We’ve already wasted 2 picks on 2 back up QBs…. Don’t waste anymore picks this year on QB
Posted by AboveTheRim on 4/25/25 at 4:19 pm to saintsfan22
Unless you have a qb , none of it really matters . You draft an qb every year until you have THE qb.

Zion for J. Smith Jr, R, Sheppard, and T. Eason confirmed .
re: Zion Trade Return?

My hope is they go about the rebuild the correct way this time around .
Go get draft capital or guys early in their first contract . Really like Reed Sheppard . Would love to get him but doubt they would trade Z w/n the division .
Like Jared McCain too.

Zion Trade Return?

With the talk that Zion will be moved this summer, what are you looking for in return ?

Could also see Indiana having interest in Z.
Though Carlisle may murder him .
Mathurin, Toppin , Sheppard , Nembard …. They have some pieces to put a decent mix together

re: Teams very interested in Jose and CJ, Zion a hot commodity

Send CJ to Detroit or Orlando .
A CJ move should be made today .
Have clean books going into this summer with a true plan of action.

Are they collecting picks to make a play on Zion this summer ?
re: Would you rather
Posted by AboveTheRim on 2/6/25 at 7:55 am to SlowFlowPro
Not saying your’re wrong
However future draft picks are at their highest value before they turn into a player .
I wouldn’t anticipate the Pels actually drafting with that pick unless they blow it up today.

re: Theis to OKC
Posted by AboveTheRim on 2/5/25 at 3:39 pm to Fun Bunch
Pels sending out 1 of our 2 playable bigs and attaching an asset doesn’t make sense from a roster construction perspective . I understand we can let Karlo get minutes as we arent trying to win but if one of Messi / Karli go down you are in a bind . There is another move coming in which we will take on a big I bet
re: Theis to OKC
Posted by AboveTheRim on 2/5/25 at 2:07 pm to Soggymoss
Surely there is something else coming . This just doesn’t add up .
