yea, this broadcast crew ain't it. I like Jack but Devlin brings the worst out of him with a lot of nonsense.

What’s more ridiculous is posters like you really believe that we’re somehow gonna have another complete MIRACLE trade for a player like Kawhi who was in argument for the best player in the league, like we’re just destined to win the biggest trade in the league and no other team will outbid us. When it’s literally impossible that we’ll be able to execute a trade anywhere near the highway robbery that was lol

Yesterday’s price is NOT today’s price lol that’s the delusion you haven’t realized yet.

You’re not getting players like Kawhi, Danny, Gasol & Ibaka while still keeping all of Lowry, Pascal, Fred, OG etc. Packages for good players now require MULTIPLE picks and good depth. It’s hilarious some of you are so jaded that you actually think that’s still viable route.

Lol...it's people like you that only see 1 way to win that turns people.away from TWO.

I have said MANY a time I hope we get a good pick. I said today Tak and Ochai should sit out.

But I am not going to pout like a child because they didn't do so and because the Raps are actually playing well....despite not having a real #1 scoring option.


So you have no argument against that is all you’re saying lol

You tried to compare this to how we arrived at our championship squad and failed to realize how completely irrelevant it actually is to this moment being that “costs” are SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER and therefore not realistic (period).
Lets pretend we added OG to the trade + another pick. No problem.

Thats a star player. Two highly thought of prospects. And 2 1st round picks. Add some 2nda if you want. Sounds about right for a star player with huge question marks around his health at that time. Maybe even an overpay in todays market. But hey. Like you said. Yesterdays price isnt todays price right?

Guess what? Still winning a championship :)

Still need to put ourselves in position to accumulate some pieces and why not? Why couldn't we be deep enough to put ourselves in position to capitalize on opportunities? It's a weird argument that tries to minimize the title run and core.

Imagine that? Playing defense leads to wins.

Stop worrying about number 1 or number 2 scorers. Focus on players playing hard defensively.


thats what impressed me about orlando when we got emberassed by them. They played hard on D and the right way. I see it now with us too. I hope it stays.

That's the Pelicans I know!! Too talented, when healthy, to be playing so scrubby

Try the Pels feed for comparison. Its homerism mixed with Wayne and Garth.


While Drake is on his one year holiday, can we have Wayne and Garyh?
