Team was good on offense today, they just decided to not play on the other end at all:yeshrug:.



Griffin has a big summer coming ahead

1. Needs a new coaching staff
2. Find the right BIG for this team
3. Bring in defenders

SOHH ICEY N.O.
Should of traded him with AD when his stock was on the moon, before he got exposed as 1st option.
:russ::mjlol::mjgrin: Exposed as a first option? Nobody in history of life thinks jrue a first option fam lol. He only was a first option last year cause ad wasn’t playing and who else was gonna shoot. Clearly bi been the first option and Zion when he’s on the floor.

The entire reason we're paying him $25+ million annually to take up space on this roster right now is because he was expected to be the 1st option and leader of the team while the rookies and Laker kids developed. The fact that he was already handily eclipsed in that leader/best player role he was supposed to assume by Ingram and then Zion within the first 1-2 weeks of them playing while he shyt the bed completely at the start of the season and now in the bubble too just shows how foolish the FO was for keeping him past the deadline. His entire and only purpose this season was to lead us to wins in meaningful playoff contention games as opposed to trading him to a playoff contender and continue tanking shamelessly for more picks. Just cause he's failed to do so doesn't change that retroactively.

:hhh: We payed him 25 mill when he was a injuried 3rd option. He was never paid to be a first option. He’s with us cause the team didn’t want to start a culture of losing with a roster of all young guys. Same reason we went got jj and have favors. Needed some vets to help the young guys.

It’s like saying if Greek left the bucks that they would be expect Middleton to be the first option :mjlol: no he’s just a very talented player and 25 mill a year around the range of money that the market pays for his level of play now. Before the salaries jumped he was over paid but joe contracts work now he’s not

and pels couldn’t trade him with ad for obvious cap reasons and that lakers had no other assets over value and nobody else in the league don’t seem to be offering much. He still has years on his deal and is a valuable player and not crying about leaving.

if you find a good deal yea Ofcourse move him, but ain’t really much good deals out there

The Truth
Lonzo frustrates TF out me.

How much money is he expecting when his contract is up?
Got to be on the floor to do anything

Gentry barely even played him and Zion together. shyt was a layup line too
Jrue Holiday is overrated

Trash
bruh there was one play yesterday when this nikka went up for a shot and immediately threw the ball directly to a Sac player.... like no Pelicans player in the vicinity, threw it straight to homeboy.

I was disgusted

All we did this season was a pull an Atlanta Falcon with a crap draft(Went from 1st to like 9th in lottery standings). Talk about a wasted year from all around with zero reward. Didn't trade any expiring assets and highest value assets value plummeted to Earth. Broke multiple worst records. I can safely say this has been the worst year as the Pelicans franchise.

Calm down now lol. Any year you get Zion is not the worst year. However this franchise has a lot of bad habits that I was hoping DG would fix but so far they are still rearing their ugly head in. I'm not going to go full panic mode yet, but it's really unfortunate the bubble for us will go down as an epic failure. We arguably took a step back in the bubble tbh.

The N.O
If by now they don't see it's red eyes And staff then idk what else they needed
Zion the reason we were invited
His defense conditioning free throws all seem to have regressed
It won't be too long before he asks for a way out

We still got to resign Ingram with no headcoach. It can get much worse come the off season if he bounces. Should of gotten a new coach last year, but Gayla made the demand of keeping Gentry. So, let's see.
