I was hoping Hawkins would take that next step and could fill CJ's role next year.

TeddyP, I'm not sure Hawkins can ever fill CJ role. CJ gives you some of everything from shooting, playmaking, assists. He falls short in the area of defense (Probably because he exerts so much energy on offense, dribble, dribble) and thinking he has to be the one to save the ship.

Hawkins don't seem to make anyone better on the floor, just spot up shooting or mid range shooting that is sometimes good, sometimes not.

What if we started BI and Trey, and brought CJs arse off the bench?



That's a great idea. Why don't the organization see that?

CJ HAD 39 SHOTS TONIGHT?????????????????????


Willie is scared of CJ. Lets him do whatever, whenever including taking a large volume of shots and bad shots at that. Oh by the way, Dejaunte who doesn't score well at all is also taking more shots than your best player TMIII.

Perfectly said. Teddy P.

Trade CJ, Zion, BI, DJM. tank and draft high, profit (?)

What is the common denominator here? I will tell you, it goes back to culture, culture, culture. All of the guys mentioned above were treated like allstars from day one. With that said no one held them accountable for anything so they do what they want to do. SMH

Lol CJ won the game for us and was super clutch last night aside from one missed ft.

CJ is a ball hog, who played well, but continues to think he is the #1 option.

But it isn't a cultural thing like you've tried to state. Zion being out of shape isn't the orgs fault. It's Zions fault

The "Org" should make his fat arse get in shape, but they don't because just like Willie they only shout at players on the low end of the spectrum.

Our 2024-25 team payroll is just north of $174 million.



It always starts at the top. First start with the owner, then Griff and finally get to Willie. No one wants to play for the pelicans, coaches don't want to coach the pelicans. You have a really bad culture problem there.

I like Boston but you do realize we have lost almost every game the more minutes hes gotten right? There probably is a good reason for that. He deserves some minutes but we shouldn’t be moving real NBA starers/scorers for Boston.

I agree with you on that. But you have to look at the amount of money CJ is getting in comparison to Boston. Also, let's look towards the future, Brandon Boston has many years to play, CJ may have 1 to 2 years if he is lucky.

I think you move Jose finally. He has reached his peak potential and might as well sell while maximizing his worth. That clears the way for Boston to play along with CJ and Hawk on the perimeter.



You move on from the old guy. Doesn't have much left to give.

Can we make that offer to the Hawks?


Dyson is balling. Good for him.
