Bill Simmons just said that Zion has been told he will be traded this week. My guess is us or Portland. Not sure how I feel about that...

I really hope we would hire another coach but MJ is still on board kinda. If we stuck with Cliff again... so be it but I feel it's better options still available to push the new era forward.

Mannnnnn lol.... He'd have to keep lemon and honey nearby every game.

Forgot about Doc but definitely either!!!

The Clifford thing is the biggest component!! Isn't the Bucks ex coach still available? Think so... regardless I'd love an upgrade!! I know Mitch probably wants to keep Clifford but we need an upgrade at coach. Maybe MJ will become more of a financial backing type minority owner. Hopefully these guys collaborate and form a dynamic structure to succeed!!

Got ya bro!!! Let's hope it's not a mess!!!

I saw that and has me wondering about the draft. Ironically this comes out and at the same time reports of the Pelicans not trading to 2 or 3 come out. Do Brandon n Scoot still meet MJ Monday? So much to think about going into the draft next week.

That and I'd also like to get Trey Smith the 3rd. Dude has big upside!!!

I would take that 14th pick and get Anthony black. If we got to pair with bouknight or another pick. It'd give us a 6'6 2 way point guard that could operate behind Melo and be insurance if he goes down or leaves. Dude has mad potential!! Reminds me of Shai coming out.

Valid points and the Clifford one still gets me too!!! A young team with development needed and we brought in the vet lover. Honestly another reason I think they may trade the pick if MJ sees an avenue to cash in. I'm not down on the thought of Ingram because his game is steady improving. I like both Miller n Scoot but with Wemby being a lock... our pick is officially on the clock and calls coming in galore I'd bet. Have to at least hear what's out there and see if you get a Rudy Gobert trade package.

I thought about that with the thought he will want to bolt at some point. I'd like to try and build around him but I think all options need to ne looked at!

Nah I don't think it'd have ti be Zion... it us way too much risk vs reward for a guy who has played 113 games in 4 years. I am open to decent scenarios if it nets the proper talent. You have to at least see wgat you can get if it's a bidding war for 2. Otherwise you go with one of the 2 prospects but we could reshape the roster swiftly with the leverage from 2.

Yep I saw that but all things run through the number 2 pick. Everyone knows Wemby going 1.... so technically Charlotte is running the draft and everyone has to hit up Charlotte 1st. If Charlotte takes Scoot... Portland won't be getting as many calls. Ton of teams want a floor general.

I understand and trust me, I like both rookie prospects but I think the Pelicans understand that contract of Zion has hit them hard and that team in the west won't make it. Plus Brandon is only 26 with a developing game. Murphys upside is there too. Add in the 14th pick and there are more opportunities to land an all star player and 2 high upside players to boot. I did read that Scoot wowed Mitch and today is Miller's, we will here more soon.

Also.... Mitch drafted Ingram.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s6DUq__RWLE&pp=ygUTQnJhbmRvbiBpbmdyYW0uc3Vucw%3D%3D

Forgot to mention whoever they decided to pick at 14 ( possible backup guard for Melo)or we could use 14 and 27 and move up to get back into the top 8 to select a target. Or use 14 and 27 to go get another young piece on the trade block.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-draft-rumors-pelicans-trying-to-trade-up-to-draft-scoot-henderson-per-report/amp/ With the Pelicans fighting others to get to Scoot and the Hornets smitten with Miller... I had to do some research. Looking into the potential of getting Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy and pick 14 sounds like something I'm warming up to. Trey Murphys game has Miller written on it and I think his upside is on par with some solid 2 way wings. I say Gordon, Terry (allows us to get out both contracts and give McGowan more burn)and pick 2 for Ingram, Murphy and pick 14. Possibly even bring Jose Alvardo in for a backup pg too. That's give us a starting lineup of Ball Ingram Murphy Miles/Pj and Mark Williams. Easily one of the top starting 5s in the East. Take a look at Murphys Game for those who don't watch him. A high flyer with 1 of the highest 3 point percentages in the NBA last year. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LKdrIc9HHco&pp=ygUZYnJhbmRvbiBpbmdyYW0gaGlnaGxpZ2h0cw%3D%3D

The Bills just signed Floyd to a 1 year deal. If we are going to sign Yannick, I think this would probably be the time it heats up. Prove it deal time for the remaining edge rushers. Going back down the Reddick scenario.

Whew.... I didn't even know he did all that!! I keep forgetting about other pieces we added like Vonn Bell and Rowe too!! We have playmakers from front to back now and I think Luvu could very well cause havoc along with Chinn(moving closer to the line) and others!! All that said to say, yes he got snubbed by looking at the other guys stats.

I think thats part of it. I'd like to see him with a truly legit OFFENSIVE coaching staff. There were times no wr looked worth anything during Rhules tenure. I think TMJ is the classic wr that doesn't offer much special teams and got caught in the numbers crunch. We will see but if he can stay healthy, I think he may surprise.

I told my friend who is a Jags fan, that TMJ could potentially cost Chark a starting spot. He was adamant Chark would steal the spot but he may not be available until training camp. If the hype of TMJ catching the coaches eyes are true... I could see him taking a spot and Chark battling with Mingo for the other outside spot. Thielen on the inside and Lavishka becoming our multi guy.

He runs very similar to Foreman to me! Wouldn't mind him at all!!

Our Db room having DeAngelo hall is going to pay dividends!! Wright is a guy I definitely see making it!

Fitt kept mentioning XFL players (but he is the only 1 invited) in different interviews. This makes me think they have been targeting him and may be why we didn't look at any in the Draft.

Yes and the few games I saw, he actually was a good pass catcher and decent speed.
