re: What happens if we can’t find a good enough trade for BI?
Posted by higgsBoson on 6/1/24 at 12:59 pm
[quote]I just can’t get by Trae Young’s absolutely shocking lack of will to play defense, plus he’s undersized. The guy can hit 3s and score and he’s a good passer also so maybe it evens out. His contract is the big issue to me. $43 mil a year for a star but he’s known to be a handful to deal with a...

[quote]If that market isn’t there I assume you run it back. As much as I oppose resigning Ingram, I don’t see much point in turning Ingram into a rotational piece.[/quote]
If you pay BI and it doesn’t work out you’re in very risky territory. I think you have to trade him. Not trading him is a mov...

[quote]Except he reached those heights. He was a PGA Tour professional with wins at the highest level of his profession. [/quote]
Most celebrities who go through this problem go through it after they “make it”. They realize success didn’t fill whatever hole they had and it’s even more devastatin...
re: Extremely sad interview with former Pels HC SVG, opening up about his wife’s passing
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/26/24 at 6:08 pm
[quote]It wasn't just BI. For example, it was clear that Josh Hart hated him too.[/quote]
He’s happy playing for an even tougher coach in NY… BI killed Stan here, and it was bs. I don’t know if he would have worked out long term, but it’s clear that whole situation was not all on Stan. ...
re: Extremely sad interview with former Pels HC SVG, opening up about his wife’s passing
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/26/24 at 4:01 pm
[quote]I said at the time and continue to believe that SVG could have been a good coach for us, if it weren't for the pandemic. If the coach is a jerk, players often form tight bonds among themselves, but players couldn't eat dinner or spend time with each other. When you are away from your family...
re: JJ Redick: Head coaching frontrunner for Lakers job
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/24/24 at 7:23 pm
[quote]Pretty much agree. Redick seems widely liked around the league but he’s just going to be a “buddy coach.” Granted lebron wont take orders from anyone but I don’t see how this is a good hire. Best case he’s a transparent proxy for lebron and gets scapegoated when they lose, worst case it’s a p...
re: Hollinger says Willie will be on the hot seat
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/19/24 at 10:26 am
[quote]There is no denying Griff wasted the assets he was given. There is also no denying he came close to balancing the scales by pulling Herb and Trey with lesser assets. We can’t just say Griff screwed #4 without also acknowledging he outkicked the coverage with #35 and #17[/quote]
We’ll see b...
re: Since 2017, okc has won exactly as many playoff series as us

[quote]For a franchise everyone says is miles ahead of us they sure as frick don't have anything to show for it, and I don't give a frick about "oh they have assets omgz young talent Holy cow they're set up" [/quote]
If you can’t see that they’re miles ahead of us I don’t know what to tell you. Th...

Let’s wait to see what he’s actually traded for before you start gloating lol. ...
re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/13/24 at 9:26 am
[quote]No we been arguing about his style of play and fit for a couple seasons now. And have suggested trading him for a while. This isn’t some recent memory bias bullshite you think this board is doing.[/quote]
Yeah I’ve been wanting to trade him for a few years now. He’s an inefficient, injury p...
re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/13/24 at 8:54 am
[quote]I've been asking this since yesterday afternoon and nobody is answering.[/quote]
We know this draft is not good. We should have traded BI last summer for a top pick in last years draft. The disconnect is that you’re way overvaluing BI. It’s a huge risk for a team to take a guy with one yea...

[quote]Im not exactly sure what you define as a PG but I felt he operated in that manner in Kentucky[/quote]
Can we get a definition of a point guard? At this point I have no idea what it means. ...
re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/12/24 at 11:59 pm
[quote]That means it's highly unlikely to get an impact player at 5, but obviously not impossible. Jokic and Herb were 2nd rounders, you know. No reason we can't draft those types in the 2nd every year.[/quote]
We’re not going anywhere with BI at this point. And this team is not competitive in th...
re: Clark: Pels open to BI extension, but not at max
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/12/24 at 9:41 am
[quote]If we keep BI, we need a real PG.[/quote]
This real PG talk is so annoying. Name these real PGs? Who are the best real PGs in the league?...
re: Offseason Moves
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/8/24 at 9:34 am
[quote]I don’t think we need a 2nd “star”, because I see Trey becoming that[/quote]
I really don’t see this happening. Trey does not have the creation necessary to be the number two option on a team. I see him more as a high level role player. ...
re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction
Posted by higgsBoson on 5/4/24 at 3:41 pm
[quote]You do what you’re saying you’re basically screwing more than half the season to increase BIs value, which personally is not smart[/quote]
Exactly, you trade BI this summer or extend him. Do not go into trade deadline and risk getting nothing for him. The time to trade him was last summer....

[quote]It's actually not. I wouldn't be surprised if a guy living under the interstate got a tip before one of our local guys[/quote]
The local guys don’t have the national sources that national guys have. Their sources are just the team. So they won’t report it unless the team wants them to even...

[quote]Sorry baw. The Pelicans will be happy with a winning season and a chance to compete in the playoffs year in and year out. The sooner you accept this, the easier it'll be not get too emotionally invested in.[/quote]
