Digby Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That's absolutely hysterical and a perfectly logical thing to happen in today's NBA. Wojnarowski is an accessory to the crime.

The_Admiral Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The New Orleans NBA franchise does not get enough attention as a huge mistake. It screwed with basketball in Charlotte, killed it in Seattle, and freed up the idiot coffee baron to go on TV and make everyone mad at him. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I like it! Why should other teams just bend to the Lakers because LA is where all the players want to live? This league is real-life NBA2K played by a 7th-grader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojnarowski is an accessory to the crime. Woj hates LeBron; him dripping out trade details through the week was so obviously him hurting LeBron because he could. New Orleans is still a garbage franchise. Let's not forget they had this entire decade to find support for Anthony Davis and instead they sat in their thumbs. Sell the franchise and move it; no one in the city cares and everyone will be happy to forget it ever existed. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 5 hours ago, dont care said: So they get nothing in return, and now will never sign another big free agent after seeing how petty they are. I say they lost this round especially in the long run. Quite the contrary. By waiting until the offseason, they actually open up the bidding war by bringing in the Celtics, Knicks, and probably other teams too. They won't get "nothing in return." As for major free agents, they've never signed with New Orleans and probably never will. That isn't going to change whether they give in to the Lakers' demands or not.

Digby Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Right; even apart from all the nonsense, I'd take even an outside chance at Jayson Tatum or Zion Williamson over Lonzo and a bunch of middling-at-best picks. Of course a team that couldn't make Anthony Davis into a contender probably won't with Tatum either, but still.

Digby Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 And the Pelicans just traded Mirotic to the Bucks, which is hilarious given this other context, but also is a great trade for Milwaukee.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 People talk like the Lakers are the big bad of the NBA, but they haven't won a trade since Pau a decade ago. I really don't get the league-wide animus toward a team that's been middle of the pack, at best, for a decade, and has only scored one big free agent since Shaq. The perception is way far away from reality. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Orleans having an NBA franchise did little in regards to screwing with basketball in Charlotte (Shinn did that on his own); and as I have described before, nothing to do with "killing it in Seattle". What's next for you, New Orleans in the NBA is responsible for Trump's election? 6 hours ago, dfwabel said: That said, it seems that Gayle Benson is just neglecting the franchise in preparation for Davis' eventual departure and she'll sell and the team will move so she can fully focus on the Saints and a new stadium, because they're pouring $200M into the Superdome every eight years or so. Where do you get this impression? Talking heads on sports blogs, or out of your own ass? Gayle Benson was the one who convinced her late husband Tom Benson to buy the Hornets franchise from the NBA. She was the prime factor in the re-brand to the Pelicans, and personally picked out the new color scheme. She is invested in this team as HER "baby" (Saints were clearly Tom's) and has publicly (and privately) given her commitment to the Pelicans franchise remaining in New Orleans. It is what it is.

Lights Out Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The Clippers had a great trade deadline all in all. Losing Tobias and Boban sucks, but the draft picks they got in return are excellent, and Landry Shamet is a very solid rookie. Somehow, they managed to trade the useless Avery Bradley for two decent players on expiring contracts without giving up any picks. And as the cherry on top, the Lakers decided to gift Zubac to the Clippers for essentially nothing. The rest of the season should be fun to watch, and the future is looking bright.

Those who I know in sports media don't cover the NBA. I do talk to a guy who used to work for me when he was an undergrad. He has worked in the NBA Office, spent time in the Finance Dept. of MSG, and now is a similar role for a team in the Western Conference. We talk/text monthly and see each other during Homecoming and/or during NBA's Vegas Summer League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
