Getting spooky in the Bayou

Pelicans going to be one of the most interesting teams to watch during off season

I think Griff did a really good job with AD and Holiday trades and the asset play but has pretty much fucked up ecerything else

You're 3 best players by far are Zion, BI and Zo...they make a combined 45 Mil....that means you have like 85 mil in dead money on your roster not really giving you any consistent production

James Johnson make 16 Mil
Trading a pick for Steven Adam's and then extending him while hes already making 27 mil was absolutely absurd
Bledsoe was pretty close to a disaster making 16 mil

Jaxson Hayes played better which was good

I like NAW and Hart, Kira Lewis might be something

Now New Orleans may not have any premium picks but they do have plenty of ammo to make kind of a desperation win-now type move if they choose to do so

And I'll just say this...my opinion...I cant put my finger on it but it's some weird stuff going on with Zion behind the scenes

Nobody wants to play in small cities when it comes to basketball.

Football is a different story because you ass is easily replaced so you gotta go where they want you lol

Is it the city/market or is it the organization and the personnel decisions being made?

I think it's the latter

Also I think SVG did a lot of stuff wrong but he did a lot of stuff right too...nonetheless that wasnt a good fit to begin with


Griff should share the blame and be accountable for most of it imo...he's on the hot seat now too though and time is ticking

It’s the market.

SA ain’t attracting players
Utah ain’t attracting players
Memphis ain’t attracting players
Orlando ain’t attracting players
Milwaukee aint attracting players
OKC ain’t attracting players
Sacramento ain’t attracting players
Indy ain’t attracting players

Those Teams gotta hope for a good draft and or make a trade to get a player for a lil while.

Playing Zion at point guard?


I think he did good job offensively given the lack of spacing and he helped Zion take a big leap forward in his second year

The medical staff and lack of spacing have been cited as the biggest issues Zion has right now....havent heard anything about him needing a big market or not liking the city....that's a cop out when the front office makes bad decisions

Okay bet.

What’s the problem with the medical staff. This ain’t the same staff from years ago. But go head, you most have some inside knowledge on it so I legit would like to hear about it.

Also.

all these new player want the big city living. All the spider shows push it so it’s in their head. Plus it’s more money when it comes to endorsements.

To get the big check till he force a trade like they all do.
