What's the conversation? Give Jalen a max contract because his stats are better than Paolo's? Do it Atlanta! And give him a no show Aspiration type deal while you're at it.
Jalen Johnson is in year 1 of a 5 year deal paying him 30mil per year
Oh I'm aware. Just being playfully facetious about the "it's time to have a conversation" comment on the tweet (I will always use "tweet" BTW).
Zion is barely back. They decided to play him against Dallas last night, rather than screw Atlanta by beating them tonight
And yet, posters here constantly want guys from that roster…
Yeah, the lack of impact on winning from players of interest like Herb/Murphy has me spooked. The coach has changed five games ago and still no reaction or bounce. Really? There is no way that team should be as bad as they are right now.. And the dumbfucks bailed out Atlanta two consecutive seasons..
Herb's contract situation isn't great, tbh.
Peli(shit)cans. Giving Atlanta a lottery pick. Hate even seeing the scores of games wanting them to win so they don't potentially give the Hawks a top 4 pick. How I wish the Spurs finished one spot ahead and got the offer instead. Regardless, they shouldn't have given that picks to the Hawks, Spurs or anyone.
We actually finished #8, comfortably ahead of them. That pick jumped to #2 and became Harper. The pick that ATL traded to NO during the draft was a Sacto FRP acquired from the original Kevin Huerter to Sacto trade. Sacto and ATL both finished with 40-42 records, so the order was decided by a coin flip. If ATL had lost just ONE of those four fucking early season games against Boston or Cleveland, our ATL pick would have slid ahead of ATL’s Sacto pick, and NO would have called us.
This is the bit I was referring to. I didn't know all the details. I just remember someone mentioning a coin flip, but wasn't sure who of the details. Thanks for clarifying. I liked the Spurs pick of Carter Bryant, but if it was my choice, I would have much rather that NO call the Spurs and offer them that draft pick. Stinks that Atlanta got it.
The weight led to the injuries, and that tanked his value. He’s amazing when he plays, but I believe that is less than half the schefuled pelicans games. I also think that may be the reason they can’t quit him.
Pelicans are trash but I'd still love Trey Murphy, Derrick Queen or Herb Jones. Good players end up on bad teams all the time.
if the pelicans were 3-15 i dont think anybody here, on the site (or successor site) where we have basically lived the last few years with Tankathon as our home page, would be complaining about Queen being good
I had him #16 on my board
Still think the Pelicans will win enough games to finish outside the bottom 5.They have zero incentives not to (they really shouldn't have been this bad). And i fully expect Jazz, Hornets and Kings to go into tank overdrive after trade deadline (Pacers, Nets, Wizards are locked in bottom 3)..So Hawks are going to hope for pingpong balls luck going their way (similar to us with Harper) to get a blue chip guy--even then it won't change much from our perspective regarding their '27 pick
he was polarizing for sure. i know dejounte really wanted him on the spurs. i didnt think the fit was there with him being as ball dominant as he is. but i thought the wizards desperately needed an offensive engine/hub and he made a lot of sense there
