[quote]It's too bad we couldn't have got Herb here[/quote] I can't imagine something Herb would rather be at less than a phony government celebration of him....

The identity is the same as it has been since Chris Paul left. You have no high level half court creator so you must be good defensively to generate easy offense in transition. In shape Point Zion with shooters changes that a little, someone like Trae would change that even more and maybe even shi...

[quote]Replacing nance's 20 minutes with Kessler immediately makes you better. But that's a partial solution, we need another 10-15.[/quote] The solution at center has always been one of 2 things, a unicorn, or a committee. We aren't getting a unicorn, so we need to cobble together 3 rotation...

[quote]Shamit, who has definitely been plugged in in the past, is pretty adamant that the Pelicans wouldn't trade for Trae.[/quote] Griff's choices might be more limited than he likes.

This is the kind of BS they pull to gain leverage in negotiations. When is the superdome lease scheduled to be renewed?...

It's just a fact that - Teams are making more money than ever, compared to the Shinn era where small market teams aimed for the playoffs rather than contention because and extra million or 2 in revenue could make the difference between profit and loss. You have to go out of your way to lose money...
