  1. What is the upside of Joe Dumars? What has he done in the last 12 years that gives anyone the perception that he knows how to put together a winning team? Didn't he get fired from the Pistons when they were consistently terrible?
    Trajan Langdon did a great job with that team this season. Hmm…
    Get someone younger with some great ideas. We don't need another Mickey Loomis (poor Saints).

  2. We wouldve been in the playoffs this year if Griffin didnt let go of Marshall, Dyson & JV in the offseason for absolute garbage like Theis.. he should've traded CJ & BI seasons ago to build around Zion but he couldnt win a trade if his life depended on it.

  3. Suprised it actually happened. I wouldn't say David Griffin was horrible, but I do think someone out there could run this team a bit better (i.e. Dumars). He certainly had his mistakes, but he has done good here as well. I'm just going to say I do appreciate his time here and what he has done. Unfortunately, it just didnt work out.

  4. Team was too small. ZION was the only big man they had. Having a backup power forward who can score would have been smart. We were a skinny team other than Zion. It time to get thicker players so we can rebound better

  5. I think people are overthinking this. If you simply add Naz Reid or Bobby Portis or Draft Derek Queen. Play Zion at the Sf . If you got to trade Zion, trade him to Phoenix for Booker. Starting lineup with Zion : Missi, Queen or Reid., Zion, Murphy & Murray. You can sign Jordan Poole. You don't have to tear the team up.

  6. If Gayle hires Dumars I'm done with this team you don't go from bad to worse Dumars would be a sprint in the wrong direction not just a step

  7. If they keep Willie green and trade Zion Williamson then you may as well sell the team because nobody will support this garbage franchise.

  8. The fact they want to trade their super star without ever building around him is garbage and new people should be stating this.

  9. If you do trade Zion and do not have a super star without ever Trey Murphy is asking out, cj asking out, herb asking out and you not making money.
