[Street Knowledge]

Steph ain’t dumb, he know the warriors have no path to compete for a title the rest of his career but he’s cool with that

It kills me how ass the Pelicans are, with all the talent on their team. like my god.

Injuries have FCCKED them up something serious.

Same with Philly.

New Orleans has yet to play a game with their lineup at full strength, while Philly has played with their three only a handful of times.

Self inflicted wounds.

Ingram and Zion are no ironmen. Everyone knows about Embiid. PG has missed a ton of games as well with the Clippers yet they still gave him a big deal.

If you build your house on a faulty foundation, who is to blame?

Honestly I'm looking at trading Zion and McCollum at the deadline and keeping Ingram and letting him walk in the offseason. The experiment hasn't worked at all and looking at how Dyson Daniels is doing in Atlanta, I'm pulling the plug.

Only untouchables on that team would be Missi, Jones, and Murphy.

How y'all feel about Brandon Boston? He's currently on a two-way. Does he get a standard NBA deal from the Pels?

He'll get a standard contract after the deadline because the players the Pelicans will get in return will more than likely be bought out.

We went from just missing the play-ins last year/virtual tie, to being 28-14 on a 55-win pace. Ime is overachieving right now.

However, the lowkey problem that comes with that is the heightened/overly ambitious expectations that follow.

Put it this way: if we sustain this pace and win 50+ games and maybe go 7 games in round 1 before succumbing to inexperience… what would the expectations be for next year? Anything less than a top 4 seed would be perceived as a regression. Anything less than a semifinal birth is a disappointment.

But without a superstar and in the Western Conference, success is a bit more volatile. Even with stars, we’ve seen the volatility last few years with Dallas, Memphis and Sacramento.

I think the Rockets have to make a trade for a star. They have a ton of picks and a million young guys

Sheppard
Eason
Whitmore
Jabari Smtih
Jalen Green
Sengun

They don’t need to get anymore young players. They have the picks. They should make a move tbh

Speaking of the Pelicans, would a trade for Zion work?

Isn't Shaq one of the originators of ring culture?
