Thank God,now lets trade fat boy and clean gouse starting with GM and head coach
and Saints need to find a similar deal for Derek Carr. cut your losses immediately
I'm happy with what we got for somone who doesn't even play.
My dude! This has been the business model from jump street!! The Pels are treated like a hobby more than a pro sports franchise. Most of the pundits all saw this latest iteration of the Pels as good enough to seriously compete if they could stay healthy this season, a team that is a couple years removed from being among the best in the West before everyone started going down with injuries. But once again, the front office wants to go the cheap route and is content to give us a team that right now is just good enough to maybe avoid finishing with the worst record in the league and, going forward, will be in the running for the draft lottery for seasons to come. It pisses me off to no end to see OKC growing into a powerhouse and other teams with similar young cores like ours improving and aiming for success while the Pels flop on the side of the road like a fish out of water. What a f**kin' waste!!
B.I is not interested in being great….he’s got the bag…..bye Felicia
Them good seats in the Smoothie King are about to get real affordable!
David Griffin is the worst GM in professional sports
I’m so happy abt this, glad we got some actual stuff for a guy who’s never on the court and was one of the major things dragging us down
Doesnt matter raptors will win 5 more games rhan they should
David Griffin needs to prove that he is competent, without LeBron on his roster. He has not done that. He is relevant because of LeBron and that is all.
So in totality the pels got pretty much nothing for AD
Isnt bro always injured?
True 🤣🤣
Ingram is coming to a country that will back him.
Canada is like the US but happier
James do you think the Pels should build around Dejonte Murray or what do you think his future holds as a Pelican ?
Just bad Front office management bad coaching ,same situation with saints, common denominator SAME SOFT OWNERSHIP.
How tf you only have 11k followers! Your THE ONLY REAL LOCAL CHANNEL FOR NOLA SPORTS. LOCKED ON IS A BUNCH OF SIMPS. MUSCONA SUCKS. AND EVEN JOE BOB'S CHANNEL SUCKS. . . . .YET YOUR AT 11K. . . . STICK TO IT BOSS. YOUR THE ONLY ONE THATS LEGIT.
Pelicans & saints need to TRADE ALL ASSETS, including zion williamson & derek carr, and start over. Both franchises are on an asian country style bullet train to nowhere FAST!! #IJS
You know you can get to Canada by a bridge from Detroit?? Lol. You Americans need to travel more. You make it sound like he's going to Turkmenistan. Garrett Temple is here. He's doing just fine in CANADA!! 😂
Lol talking about Toronto like it's Afghanistan or something… BI himself said Toronto is one of his fav NBA cities mentioning Toronto alongside Miami and LA
They got more than Dallas did in the trade for a lesser player. 🤦🏾♂️
Wow you actually got something you got a first round draft pick in 26 which means now you have 2 first round picks in 26 and first round pick this coming draft which we know is gone to be top 5 pick at least. If your gone complete rebuild meaning your probably trading Zion, Murray, and CJ which could also just be more expiring contract situation. Basically because you traded for Murray you gutted the depth which is why this yr been so poor. For BI you got two expiring contracts and two picks a First and a second. Yeah for being one of the worst teams paying luxury tax would have been stupid. We will have to see what happens in the offseason. If you trade Zion and Murray you know they are gone full rebuild and more first picks the NBA isn’t the NFL rebuilds are so much easier even though the NBA doesn’t like teams tanking all you have to do is basically have one two good players with a whole bunch of back ups. Let’s say they go with rebuilding around Trey, Herb and Jose that’s a pretty good start plus you will have this yrs first rd pick
