Bruh. why don't you just pretend you're dying...request to meet Jrue in person as your last wish...and then when you're alone telling him your story and struggle, beg him to frick you suck him off. Keep that energy over there.

THIS IS A TRANSITION YEAR


Lmao ok bro whatever you say. It should’ve been a transition year, but instead they decided to build a team around MVP Jrue Holiday. This has turned into a transition year because all the offseason moves have failed so far. Mainly because Alvin Gentry has no clue how to coach a basketball team.

Once Ingram gets paid this team won’t have cap space for a longgg time. And they went out this offseason and used up the one season with ample cap space on JJ, Favors, and an absolute bum from overseas. You don’t make those moves to miss the playoffs and fire the coach in the offseason.

But hey whatever makes you feel better about wasting one of Zions seasons before he inevitably demands a trade.

It's already been explained hundreds of times on this board, but let's try this one last time.

Teams "rearrange" all the time. We didnt rearrange, we tore down the organization and essentially started from scratch in the front office. Gentry and the coaching staff was needed because A)We would have already been behind the 8 ball in a coaching search and B) With so much roster and front office turnover you have to maintain some sense of stability.

If Gentry would have been fired also, what you essentially would have seen was an expansion team that was trying to get an entire team started in one offseason (it takes years). We likely would not have had a coach by the time the draft came around. We would have selected a transcendent talent with no fricking coach??

And you pick up the option so you dont have a Lake duck coach situation where the entire team just says "Hey why play coach is fired anyway"

Gentry will be gone next year, whether it's in a front office role or retirement is tbd

Overall, we lost tonight because guys' shots simply weren't falling. We shot 29% from 3-point range.

From 3
Ingram 0-3
Redick 4-13
Jrue 2-5
Okafor 1-1
Melli 0-4
Hart 2-7
Moore 2-5

Most of those were relatively good looks. They just weren't going in tonight.

Yea I'll pass on that. But I will support the guys on the team and not shite on players regardless if I like them or not.

Instead of starting your post of saying "brothers" just say "fellow trolls" so you and the few other miserable people on here will know who your talking to.

Gentry isn't getting fired in the middle of the season, especially without Zion.

That's true no matter how many pathetic whining posts people make. It's like some of you think if you just make one more post calling for Gentry to be fired, then Griffin will see it and be forced to fire Gentry.
I'm talking about the dummies pushing the idea that the plan was always for him to be one and done with Griffin.

They say it with such confidence, disregarding how nonsensical it is. And the fact that we picked his option up for 2021, a season ahead of time.

I wouldn't say inevitable, but keeping Gentry as the HC makes us look like a low class organization. JJ has been our best off season move by far. Favors could still be a valuable trade chip as an expiring. Jrue and JJ are very valuable trade chips with additional years left on their contracts. Im sure if we hadn't been sold so much snake oil this off season we wouldn't be as upset. We really should be shifting to acquiring more assets and looking for a big fish to land. These things happen, but can't throw the baby out with the bath water. Gotta get rid of what/who doesn't work and move on.

You don't think that Griffin is doing that? He's been saying since the draft to expect another move. I think that, next month, he's going to package Lonzo, Moore, and Miller (and some picks) for a max player. Griffin's comment about bringing Didi back sooner rather than later is 100% an indication that he's planning a trade. He probably already has it lined up and just has to wait until December 15th to include Miller's $7 million.

"like?" I don't know any of these people personally to like or dislike them you idiot. It's not even whether I "like" his game or not. I hate Ingram's iso game, but it contributes to winning when it counts this season. I'm focused on the results. The results have shown the man does not contribute to winning in the clutch. Could be the system, could the surrounding cast. But the truth is the truth. If you're too sensitive about another man, whom you don't know then maybe you should avoid the board.

Of course HE is. I'm talking about US, the board. We can shift our focus to more progressive ideas so things aren't as depressing. Coaches, trades, FAs, etc..

So you dont like or dislike anybody in the league? Your opinion of every player is based solely on their game? I dont have to personally know a person to like or dislike them.

I dont like you as a poster, I dont plan on avoiding the board because of that though so I dont need your advice on whether to stick around or not.

Of course...why would I....dislike people I don't know...who play a game...that I...CHOOSE to watch? I don't care what they do. I just want them to help the team win. And if you don't like MY posts. why encourage more posts from me by messaging me? Seems a bit foolish on your part doesn't it? You don't to answer that Ms.Thang. You can CHOOSE to ignore me.

You laugh at this, he has a nice stroke. Wish he would develop this into his game.
