[quote]Then we should trade BI for vet role players instead of gambling on hopefully getting one at 5. We have the salary to do that[/quote]The counterpoint is we'll never attract good to great players in free agency, and also, we are not close to being a contender now, so while you're correct a vet...
[quote]hope that was a good to text error[/quote]lol it was Should have just said "a rebuild" ...
[quote]This year was a historic year for the WCF. Any other year we would be a top 4-5 easily. So there is some data that says we’re built to win now.[/quote]But it's a fact that the West is tough, so you can't say we're built to win now if the West wasn't so good. The West IS that good, and that...
[quote] I posted a pro pels talk tweet from Chaz specifically talking about this. Its not projection. Its coming from at the time a credentialed media source of the pels[/quote]It's been said by more than just that guy But it's not ra ra super positive, go Pels... so VOR thinks it HAS to be fake...
[quote]Oh well then yeah especially in this draft[/quote]So I didn't mis-state your argument, I was used it word for word, you said it would be a rebuild and just confirmed that. No mis-stating done. :cheers:...
[quote]The frick? How is it not?[/quote]Because we were healthy and were a play in team, not a 4 seed ...
[quote]I didn't say it affected me[/quote]You laughably calling it "personal attacks" says otherwise. But given you called trading BI for a top draft pick a rebuild, it seems exaggerating is par for the course for you in this thread. :dunno:...
[quote]That depends on what we get back for BI.[/quote]Obviously I meant for a top draft pick like we were discussing. Yes or no, would that be a rebuild? ...
[quote]Willie and BI being ‘allowed’ to ignore Borrego”. Man, you guys can come up with some interesting takes. That’s inventive- I’ll give you that. Nobody here knows of any Borrego ideas that were “ignored”. That’s pure projection[/quote]As always, you'll be the last one to know or realize it. It ...

re: What would a good coach do with BI?

[quote]What would a good coach do with BI?[/quote]Have him traded for a better fit. ...
[quote]I honestly stopped reading when you wrote “we’re built to win now”[/quote]That statement just woefully misses the mark. This team isn't built to win anything as it stands. ...
[quote]You are mis-stating my argument.[/quote]Yes or no, would trading BI be a rebuild? Again, just a yes or no will suffice. Your answer will determine if I mis stated your argument... [quote]You are doing it with personal attacks[/quote]Woo boy, never realized you were THAT soft Person...
[quote]Trading a borderline all-star for a pick in a mid draft is rebuilding. [/quote]:lol:[quote]So yeah, we may not be rebuilding. We may just be getting a lot worse, for...reasons. [/quote]Well, for starters over the past 164 gamed worth of a sample size, we have a higher win % when BI doesn't ...
[quote]You do this everytime in an argument when someone calls you out. They become the “strawman” lol. Its pretty predictable you do the same thing on the Saints board.[/quote]Plus he didn't even use it correctly He was factually wrong calling it a rebuild. He can explain why he did that intenti...
[quote]We have data for when we're healthy.[/quote]Like this season and being a play in team? [quote]I'm not the one talking about how trading for a draft pick unlikely to ever be as good as BI is "raising our ceiling", or how a draft pick in a mid draft is going to replace a top 40-50 player (espec...
[quote]Only due to historic injury luck that's bordering on a curse.[/quote]You keep repeating this false narrative. Not only did we not have "historic" bad injury luck this season, we had positive injury luck given how healthy and how many games our top guys played. [quote]When the injury gods f...
[quote]We're a top 4-6 seed in the West when healthy, not a rebuilding team.[/quote]No we're not. People do this thing you're doing where you predict where we'd be if we were 100% healthy and everyone else had their same injuries. That's useless. We were one of the healthier teams in the Wes...

[quote]Demonstrably false, but ok. Don’t know why this is such a stick in y’all’s craw. It’s weird.[/quote]Lots of folks HATE facts when they don't fit their narrative. ...
[quote]literally what we should have done last summer[/quote]Possibly but it would have been for Scoot, and the jury is still out on him. ...
[quote]fricking idiots in panic mode. Holy shite.[/quote]This doesn't make sense. If we're trying to get into the top 3, that signifies taking a slower approach and potential step back before getting good. It's the opposite of what they'd do if in panic mode, which would be to get an older and o...
