re: Jeremiyah Love

We’ve invested heavily in the offensive line through the draft for years now, and the defense has been playing at a high level since Chase Young got back. I’m all for drafting skill positions and would be excited for Love and a receiver in rounds 1 and 2.

Also we saw what Kellen Moore did with Saquon last year. I think he’d be really excited and could do some special things with Love
No, this Saints roster needs a lot of young talent, and trading for Burrow would cost us a fortune. We would essentially end up with Burrow surrounded by a roster that is bad and old with no picks to replenish the talent.
Disagree that wide receiver isn't a premium position. Maybe 10 years ago it wasn't, but with how wide open the sport is today it has become one. Also having a true number 1 can be extremely helpful for a young QB. If you are able to draft an elite receiver then that makes Olave the number 2 and Vele the number 3. That offense would look a lot more dangerous than it does right now. I think Tyson, Tate, and Lemon are all big time prospects who I would be happy if we drafted.
To be fair, if this team was healthy and had a real coach they would probably be much better. No debate that Dumars has been awful outside of the two rookie picks, though.

Shough has more wins in 5 starts than Rattler had in 14. It wasn’t his fault though

Does the camera guy for the Nets broadcast know he can zoom out?

I like Downs and would be happy if we picked him. I’d rather get Reese or a receiver though
That move by Fears on Gobert was filthy
I would keep an eye on Brayden Allen, committed to Oklahoma
I think the Tony Parker comp is good, but I think Fears ceiling is higher than that. Everyone says Fears is a bad shooter, and he’s certainly not great right now, but he’s 19 years old and currently shooting 37% from 3 on over 3 attempts per game. With his work ethic I think his shot continues to grow and he becomes a pretty good shooter at some point. He’s also got 2 inches on Parker

Half time
It’s crazy how much better the offense looks and Borrego hasn’t even been the coach for a week. Insane that Willie got as much time as he did
I'm excited to hear what he has to say about Shough during the game

Rookie of the year this season, and then 5 straight MVPs

re: Y’all miss BI yet

Posted by Tigerjim09 on 11/20/25 at 6:54 pm to
There is nothing to miss about BI, he’s putting up almost identical stats to what he did here. He’s a good NBA player, but no better than a number 3 option on a real contending team. Very replaceable player, but I do wish we had gotten more for him when we traded him
quote:

How do you not get it? Zion isn't available because he refuses to stay in shape. Oden wasn't available because his knees exploded.

How do you not get that this is completely irrelevant? Zion has been a good NBA basketball player, and Oden never was. Period.
quote:

Oden's body let him down.

What in your mind does his body “letting him down” have to do with anything?The guy got taken first overall, had an injury, and then was never a good NBA player.
Would Zions career have been better if he had a serious injury during his rookie year, and then never played well again? Of course not. Zion has provided value at points in his career and Oden never did. Not even in the same conversation in terms of being a bust
Zion is nowhere near as big of a bust as Oden, that’s insane. He has been disappointing relative to his expectations of being the next face of the league, but on his career the dude averages 25, 6.5, and 4 on 58% shooting. Not to mention oden went right before Durant, and Zion went before Ja who has also been disappointing. Would call Zion disappointing, but not a bust because he’s a borderline all NBA caliber player when he’s actually on the floor
Morant has been horrible this season, and has regressed each of the last few years. Fears might just be a straight up better player than Morant by the end of the season.

re: The real path forward

Posted by Tigerjim09 on 11/18/25 at 10:23 am to
I don’t think you have to trade Trey or Herb, they are good players on more than fair contracts. The real issue with the team right now is that between Zion, Dejounte, and Poole you have 65% of your payroll sitting on the bench injured. It may be difficult, but I would try to find a way to get as much value as you can while getting those three off the roster. Hopefully then you can recoup a few picks, free up some money, and start to really build around fears and Queen with Herb and Trey as effective role players.
I’m not a big Nyck Harbor guy, I honestly think he’s more of a tight end than a receiver. His measurables are insane but he’s never been all that productive and he’s not a great route runner. In his entire career he only has 1 game with more than 4 catches and that came in his freshman year.
