The defense actually improved after the all star game. SVG is way better coach than Gentry though. Zion and Ingram seems to respect him and Zion always raves about how he actually feels like he is being coached. SVG was garbage in the beginning though but at the end has been improving. I give him an...

Actually we’re celebrating that we got most of your picks. Hahahahaha At least Zion doesn’t complain and whine about getting fouled or get hurt. Can’t say the same for Lebron and AD....

My apologies. I’m never doubting you again....

Highly doubt this is true. There would have been news about it and Vegas would have changed the line tremendously. Even so, Zion would have been listed questionable on the report if anything. He’s not even on yesterday injury report list....

[quote]The internet has trained us to seek out confirmation bias. I think people would be shocked to find out that the Pels have the #1 rated defense in the past 15 games and are 7th in DRtg since the All Star Break. It doesn't fit what we've told ourselves about this team since the beginning of the...

[quote]I am going to wait and see how BI and Zion try to figure it out in a normal off-season. [/quote] They’re a top 5 duo in scoring with barely any spacing. Ingram even states on how tough it is for them to work around it. They do need to work on their defense too but they’re not even the w...

[quote]Starting to really feel that although it might be bad, its a little overblown by the surrounding pieces being abysmal too. [/quote] Yeah, I also like to add that without Ingram they are 1-4. So much for him effecting games with his miserable defense ...

[quote]And what's his rating on the defensive end? Dude sulks and forgets he can effect the game playing D when his Offensive game is off.[/quote] It’s funny you said that because PER is more than defensive rating. His defensive rating is 114.9 But you know who else is the same? Zion. Who i...

[quote]Nobody is going to want to trade for that overpaid bum, until he's an expiring, which he isn't for 2 more years.[/quote] Actually he’s technically an expiring next year. Also guess you never heard a team call OKC. If hortford and cp3 can get traded with their contracts, Bledsoe can easily ...

[quote]Zion is averaging 26.8 ppg. Ingram is averaging 24.2 ppg. Ingram: “I think the crazy thing about it is we’re doing this without actually playing off of each other as much. I think it’ll be even (more) dangerous when we play off of each other."[/quote]...

[quote]He just signed a 5 year without a player option in an age where nearly all max players have that. [/quote] Agreed. Funny how people try to argue that Ingram doesn’t want to be here and doesn’t even know facts about it. They just assume things. Anyone would know Ingram wants to be here by h...

Agreed. 4/44 million, just a bit over the MLE is the contract I can see. For Lonzo, I seriously hope we don’t give him a 4/85 contract. Bledsoe is essentially an expiring next year due to having his 22/23 contract only partially guaranteed. Plus with our abundance of picks, I can see us trading h...

[quote]Josh Heart for the low low[/quote] I’m curious to see what his contract will look like. I don’t see us overpaying him imo. Especially if we are in the lottery/having to keep Bledsoe/overpaying Lonzo. Marshall provides 70% of what Hart does for a small fraction of the price...

[quote]New Orleans Pelicans two-way forward Naji Marshall has agreed to a new three-year, $5.3 million deal, with rest of this season and next season fully guaranteed, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Marshall has had a strong rookie season.[/quote] [link=(https://twitter.com/shamscharania/sta...

[quote]Late Monday night, following the Pelicans’ frustrating loss to the Warriors on national television, Lonzo Ball sent a text to teammate Zion Williamson. It was part-apology, part-promise as Ball vowed to make up for his poor shooting performance.[/quote] [quote]“I just knew I let my team do...

Saddiq Bey would have been perfect for this team. A 3&D player. Crazy to see that he broke the rookie 5+ made 3pt games record last night with 11. Everyone knew he was going to be good coming from Villanova and being coached by Jay Wright for 4 years. Kira might turn out great, but damn it stings...

[quote]Instead of having Adams/Hill both come off the books this offseason, which would be awesome, we now have 2 more years of Adams and 1 more of Bledsoe. Completely trainwreck there, and a few of us called it in the moment.[/quote] Agreed. I rather have grab Mitchell Robinson this off-season t...

I’m not trying to justify it. But I can see why we picked up Adams. We lost Favors and needed a replacement while Hayes develop. 17 million was a great value for a small market team and for a starter. The things he excels at is rebounding and setting screens. I thought he will be here to do the dirt...

[quote]I don't mind keeping him but also don't mind if they moved him for the right pieces, but... he isn't a top 20 player and we need to stop pretending he is [/quote] He is definitely a top 20 player that is under 25 that’s for sure....

[quote]He's one of the worst defensive players in the league, we do not talk enough about just how bad he is defensively. It's REALLY bad. [/quote] It’s so weird to me. You can see some sparks of defense when he actually tries. He look great in the Minnesota game. Then this game, he is straight g...
