[quote]I can't imagine OKC would expect a nice pick in return for him. Anything they can get for him should be a win in their book, as he's much more likely to just finish out his contract and OKC gets nothing. [/quote] Looking at their salary cap for next year, if they run it back they're a tax ...

[quote]I wouldn't give up any picks for CP3 from our side though[/quote] It would be tricky, you'd basically have to convince OKC to go into rebuild mode which probably means giving them more for CP3 than expiring contracts. If you're trading Jrue and Lonzo I could see a team like maybe the Knic...

[quote]File this under... But Why?[/quote] I've seen clear displays on futuristic scifi shows before and they always seemed more form than function. Honestly that butterfly display is kind of cool as expensive art/decor, but as a TV I think the experience would be lacking....

Yes. The first 3 seasons are really good. After that they transition the story line from Ragnar to his children and it’s still decent but not as good. Even if you stop after 3 seasons it’s worth the watch. ...

Zion and Ingram would learn a lot more from CP3 than they would by keeping Jrue around as the Win Now model vet. I would be very interested in deals that sent out Jrue and Lonzo and bring in CP3 and a bunch of young players and future picks. The Pels lost a ton of games in the clutch this year. I co...

[quote]I know I'm in the minority but I'm afraid of maxing out Ingram. Yes, he's talented but I just don't know that his game is conducive to winning. He's too one dimensional. [/quote] So what? Even if he's more Melo than KD, he'll have trade value if he doesn't fit with Zion. But he seems to ...

I really think the Pels have enough of a track record built to hire whoever they want. Woman owner, black GM, black woman VP, black woman assistant coach. It would be a shame if optics entered the equation for them at all because they're one of the teams that shouldn't have to worry about it....

I don’t think most of us are assuming Alvin gets “fired” as much as he fails up into an office down the hall from Gayle. I haven’t heard Amin’s comments, but if he was told Alvin wasn’t getting fired, getting promoted out of the way isn’t getting fired. My main concern is the team is spending mo...

Netflix isn’t currently in China. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14164 I’m not saying they don’t want to be, but rampant piracy seems to be as big of a concern as the Chinese government. Netflix is the one blocking Chinese access to their service, so I’m not sure Appease China is part of their ...

MPJ adds a new source of scoring for Denver that may make a Murray for Jrue swap easier to swallow. Per 36 minutes he's averaging 20.5 points on 15.3 shots. Jokic is at 22.5/16.6, Murray 20.6/17. If MPJ can stay healthy and play starters minutes, turning Murray + future assets into Jrue with his a...

I've never been much of a Jamal Murray fan, but I wonder if the emergence of Michael Porter Jr. makes Murray available in a Jrue trade now?...

If they hire a HC that doesn't need both an OC and DC, maybe they can offer Craig a promotion as one of the lead assistant jobs. Someone bringing the notoriously hard nosed Pat Riley culture to the team would be a great addition....

MM also made a point about Hart not being much of a fall off from Jrue. I think Hart gives you 80% of Jrue. He guards multiple positions at a high level, can hit the 3 and drive. You don't want Hart running the offense, but we've decided we don't want Jrue doing that either. The main problem wi...

[quote]Going by netflix's track record, Ang will be black, Kitara will be white, and fire nation will be white supremacists.[/quote] Are those kinds of things Netflix driven, or giving producers freedom and the producers leaning that way? I would imagine if Netflix is skewing the creative direct...

While his complaint is malformed, he does point out something interesting. If we are shifting so much of our activity online, is it time to turn these regional monopolies into regulated utilities? Normally I don't think more government fixes things, but this in between area where we have regionall...

Locked On Pelicans with Jake Madison, @NolaJake on Twitter and he posts here occasionally....

:lol: If you do keto and miss cereal, it's magical and I highly recommend it. ...

[quote]NolaJake[/quote] BTW, Magic Spoon is awesome! And I used the URL from the podcast to get it :cheers:...

I have a fuzzy memory of other coaches getting hired with years left on their original contract and that letting the original team off the hook for some of that. Maybe I'm mixing sports though....

Since Trajan was the assistant GM with the Nets he should be able to keep any conversations he has with them about getting permission to talk to Kenny quiet. If we ask the Lakers for permission to talk to Jason Kidd, let's just say Pels and Lakers aren't in each others circle of trust....
