Why would we trade our pick.

It's one of our strongest assets right now not Including the core. It gets weaker if we are not a top 10 team which is likely since this team is staying put. For example if we want to keep Lonzo, we would have to trade this year, and future years pick plus one of our younger players like NAW for someone like Siakim.

But keep in mind in the off-season teams are more optimistic and don't trade as much vs at the deadline when they are desperate

It's clear you overcompensate to be even keeled to ever have honest conversations in sports.

I'm aware my takes can be emotional, but if you can't see that we are making early mistakes in the beginning when we just got stuck mediocrity with the AD era than idk what to tell you.

Folks laugh at Pelicans fans here because we fight and can get emotional, but also is because we have ALWAYS been a farm system type team due to weird trades and moves that keeps up in mediocrity or make things difficult for us to build things the right way.

Then we are left with "things are going to get better" optimistic fans and before you blink another star is requested to ask out due to us just being "meh".


The Griffin era is unique because Im able to watch all of these moves and having a foresight of what can go wrong and the likelihood of things going well. Zo, BI , and Zion core is just something I don't believe in and the investment in something like that just creates a inconsistent, meh, and mediocre product. The odds of this changing is about 15 percent chance due to Zion.

But if you want to continue to be hopeful and just good enough to win vs becoming a championship type of team then we are just on two different pages.

The fact that you couldn't even see that extending Adams and keeping Bledsoe affected what goes on with Zo when the thunder got back positive assets for G. Hill just proves my point that you are not looking at this team wide enough. Every move is a domino affect. Things doesn't happen as a single move.

Lmaoooo.

Yo for real @silverfoxx is a Knicks fan in a pelicans fans body
 
Super happy the Knicks didnt feel like they had to make any type of trade. We doing good. Either way we not contenders. We just building organically and watching our young players get better by the day.

Can’t tell if this is genuine

but I heard they working on an extension so he’s gonna be here long term

lets just hope he can take the offseason and get his body right

luckily he already works out in Miami

the best part is bam can now comfortably be the 3rd option because asking him to score 20+ a night and carry the team at times was getting to be kinda taxing on him.

It was genuine and a shot at the same time.

I do believe hes gonna be good in Miami.

I also believe your gonna overhype the fuck out of it.

I don't get emotional over things I can't control brah. Maybe that's where we differ. If I told you what Louisiana does to keep the saints/Pelicans here, maybe you would have the same feelings about professional sports that I have.

I don't make no money with/off the Pelicans. They can go 0-82 and my life wound go on.

I want to be crystal clear, this isn't a slight to you at all but it's also crystal clear your are super invested then get upset when something doesn't pan out the way you would've liked.

We can talk sports, crack jokes, etc.. But I'm not about to be losing my shit over what billionaires and millionaires do with their money and talents.

Peace King ✊🏾
