A few things we need to understand when it comes to drafting. 1) Fred Vinson won't magically fix every shot. Some kids don't have the mindset, work ethic, coachability, etc to do that. Plus there is a big difference between Fred making Herb someone defenses have to respect vs Trey as someone def...

if it's about Zion needing/already having a second surgery (which I really think is going to be the announcement), it makes me wonder about the report that the Pels are trying to be buyers at the deadline...

[quote]I don't think Shamit would post this if he didn't have an assistant on the team telling him this, but it still seems too crazy to be true.[/quote] Shamit is very connected and doesn't post for attention. I think it's safe to take him at his word...
[quote]I find it hilarious we took on contracts and got scraps for Ball while the Bulls want a first for Lauri now and he couldn’t muster up any contract offers over 14 mill…. [/quote] I find it hilarious that you don't understand how restricted free agency works [quote]I’m sure Lauri would be...
[quote]RobbBobb[/quote] What's hilarious and also sad to me is that this is a 7-page thread that accomplishes nothing. many posts show there is an understanding of how foolish these conversations are, but many on the left and right both yell aimlessly into the clouds thinking they are making vali...

[quote]So you saying his contract would hamper us, but Adams won’t?[/quote] what I'm saying is trading away a 35 year old big vs a 28 year old big is WAY harder. Again the contract at his age is what scared Griff off and I cannot blame him....

don't waste your breath man. Miami isn't going to trade Bam and the Pels aren't trading BI unless it's for a sure-fire super-star...
Reasons SVG was fired: 1) Griff wanted more say in what players got minutes (main one was Bledsoe). 2) Stan was brought in to be an a-hole and some of the players (not Zion) did NOT take it well. Caused a ton of friction 3) Stan was kind of a jerk this season and didn't connect with owners...

[quote]Say what yiu want but Horford would’ve made a bigger impact on this team than Adam’s and they got a first for him instead of giving one up[/quote] Adams still has serviceable years ahead of him in this league. He's an intelligent guy, a great teammate, and a good leader. Horford is 8 years...

the only way we trade BI is for a player the caliber of Dame or Beal OR he asks out outside of that, a BI trade isn't happening...
[quote]Well considering how fragile Zion appears to be...maybe Carlisle isn't the guy for us either.[/quote] I know this isn't what we are talking about here, but Zion was neutral about SVG. Didn't hate being pushed, but did hate losing. He and his family did hate the regression. Zion & his ...
Coach -I want a coach that can motivate the players, can manage all the personalities, and is on the same page with ownership -I think since there are so many voices/egos involved in this organization, I say we take a younger coach looking to prove themselves Hart, Lonzo, Bled, Adams -Love Har...
[quote]If anything this just proves the other stories are BS[/quote] just because one story is unequivocally false, doesn't mean the Zion story is also false. that's just bad logic man fact is this team isn't going anywhere. and Zion's family has been a pain since he arrived in New Orleans. ...
same stuff is happening in Dallas with Luka. it is Griffin's job (and most front office's job) to find a balance between building an organization that can be a 'sustainable winner' while also not wasting seasons you have an all-world talent...
[quote]Griff needs to sit down with Zion and tell him to look at Booker and Trae. Both of their teams took years to build it through prospects and FA signings to get where they’re at now[/quote] do you think this conversation hasn't been had?...
