If the pels aren’t at least 28-24 entering Feb, would you want to blow it up?

At the end of January, they will have played 52 games. If you are 26-26 going into feb, you are likely facing an up hill battle to make the playoffs, and if you do get in, you are looking at a 7-8 seed and likely first round exit.

I think we should blow this bad boy up. This will be a deep draft, if we move AD we can get some good young players and have 2 first round draft picks. Really set ourself up for the future

Look at the standings and at the schedule. And answer yourself.

This is the season where 2-4 seed can be a available.

Still it can be out of reach.
Blowing up probably wont happen in case AD leaves. In that case Pels will get players and wont settle for picks around 25th.

Blowing up will happen if AD will leave this franchise as a FA...

This team is still a work in progress.
They don't have a starting PG, back up PG and most importantly a stating SF.

I'll see what they are like at the deadline. This year isn't season to be tanking. Nothing outside the top 3 worth fighting for in this draft.

Look man, im not gonna disagree with you here, but most people will. Im not ready to move on this quickly, but we certainly arent a championship team right now.

But I will say, I absolutely love Jrue Holiday (and Davis). I will stand by this team for now.

3 of the 4 teams that were in the WC semis last year would not make the playoffs if they started today and all 4 made it look like they were a cut above the entire conference in the playoffs.

People are overreacting so much it’s crazy. Injuries have played a huge factor early in the season. If that dipshit doesn’t undercut two starters on back to back jumpers tonight, people likely aren’t freaking out. Milwaukee lost to Phoenix at home. shite happens in the NBA.

Can this team be better? Yes
Can this team get better? Yes
Is the league super talented right now, including the coaching department? Yes

Look at the “shitty, bottom dwellers” in the West right now and look at their rosters.

You’d think the season was over the way this board is acting. I miss the days we discussed the play of players and dissected what happened.

Now everyone wants to play virtual GM and race to be the first “hot take” with their post game threads. I also don’t know where these shitty posters like OP come from.

Crewz is right. This board does suck compared to what it was. It’s completely disenchanted anyone that put effort in back in the day minus the few champions of the world like ATL that keep bringing it daily with a positive attitude.

Its fine. Crewz's exclusive board is coming. Where only the best of the best are allowed. It's a natural evolution.

Everyone has a right to speak. But everyone does not deserve the right to be heard.

I got y'all. Just let me sell the restaurants in a year or so and then I will build it. Hold on tight until then.

Nah. Not blow it up, but you need to make a change somewhere.

Maybe letting Jackson get more time over Clark.

Maybe getting that wing you need like Ariza, Roco, or desperate to get porter.

Oh, I will. I have three things I plan on starting with the money and a message board for the elite is one of them. For multiple topics and interests. Excluding people based on race and sex is wrong, but there should not be equal rights for the dumb. We need a place to be able to discuss without them.

This is so true. PR is ridiculously delusional now, I can't even post there and folks are super sensitive

Yeah I made a comment like "I wonder if that prick (Solomon Hill) laughs still at that contract Dell gave him.

And everyone's like he's not a prick he's a nice guy blah blah blah.

Like they know. It was just a comment I dont know if he is a prick or not.

Too PC for me.

You have to make this deal without certainty.

I work the phones today. I listen. If you get a starter, and get to dump hill, and 2 1s, pull trigger.

Is your top 3 all on Duke? Because if so...I have ti disagree. I think there's an obvious top 3 who could be instant All-Stars, but I can see about 10 players contributing next season right away.

Like I bet Kevin Porter Jr isn't in your top 3. I don't like comparisons, but I see a lot of things I like when I watching him. Very advanced offensive game. And he's a lefty.

Not saying we blow it up to get him and him alone...but I like him a lot.

As frustrating as this team has been, nobody in the west outside of the Warriors with Steph, looks particularly good. Nobody's separated themselves or has a roster that the Pelicans can't beat.

I expect the Warriors to pull away when Steph gets back. But whichever team goes on that 10 game winning streak, or wins something like 12 of 14 will have a chance to steal that 2 seed or at least lock up home court advantage. It may not take months of playing great basketball in the west this year. Right now there's just a bunch of meh teams beating up on each other.

A lot of games to play. We need to get healthy. I want to see 10-15 games with a healthy top 8. We looked really good with a healthy top 8 to start the season. I think Demps makes a good trade closer to the deadline to get us a starting SF. I have not been able to watch much of the Grizzlies, but are they legit?
