Between the shytty contracts, the lack of support from ownership and just all the bad luck that we had last decade it still amazes me how we bounce back:myman:


Which is why we NEED TO TAKE IT SLOW AND THINK AHEAD! Jrue is an all star caliber player and I wouldn't moving him unless we get something good in return.



Also I'm tired of the disrespect Jrue and Gentry get, yeah they ain't part of our future but they held it down unlike some of these hoe ass nikkas:demonic:


Gentry should move to a front office position and Jrue should be on a contender, he deserves to win a ring dammit:damn:
Jrue is nice but he makes too much money, they're already gonna have to let Favors walk(unless he wants to take a massive pay cut) to re-sign Ingram. They could bring in 3-4 good players if they're smart with the 27 mil they would be saving from Jrue's contract. Guys like Nerlens Noel, Pat Connaughton, Andre Roberson, Mo Harkless they could all bring in and still have a little room to work with

New Orleans just needs to be smart and focus on an attainable goal in free agency like building one of the best benches in the league like the Bucks have done.

I don't think teams are willing to move much for Jrue, they just need to get a pick and as much cap space as they can then go after guys in FA

I just dont tink theyvwill get mych for jrue.

Might, they will get some depth for him, and thatsbthe best bet imho.

Get depth and cap relief, after that try to get a solid defensive center and a legit 2 and I think they will be ready to compete, especially with a real coach

Figured I'd ask in here since I can't find it on my own, did they ever say why they trimmed Zion's meniscus over a full repair?

Griffin was leaving everybody in the dark throughout the whole process seemed like, except when it came time for him to come back. I would've rather they pulled a Simmons and kept him out for the ROY race next year if it meant a long and healthy career. Seeing how Rose broke down from his own athleticism has me concerned, knock kneed and weight issues aside. If it couldn't have been repaired then damn.

Getting the meniscus removed is like a time bomb, which is why I hated when Lonzo got his part of his taken out in 2018. CP3 got his removed after the camera incident in NO and looked like he was missing 5-10%. The older he got the more trouble that knee gave him.
