re: Hot take: CJ Should Stay
Posted by jonjonsmith on 1/17/25 at 11:22 am to TeddyPadillac
I was hoping Hawkins would take that next step and could fill CJ's role next year.
TeddyP, I'm not sure Hawkins can ever fill CJ role. CJ gives you some of everything from shooting, playmaking, assists. He falls short in the area of defense (Probably because he exerts so much energy on offense, dribble, dribble) and thinking he has to be the one to save the ship.
Hawkins don't seem to make anyone better on the floor, just spot up shooting or mid range shooting that is sometimes good, sometimes not.

He's a dude who has averaged 20ppg for 12 years straight, still going strong, and only 1 year left on his deal after this one.
20 points a game on a bad team, is not the same as 20 points a game on a good team.

re: We can't let BI's return stop Trey from cooking...

What if we started BI and Trey, and brought CJs arse off the bench?
That's a great idea. Why don't the organization see that?

He'll probably get his shite together somewhere else
Exactly, the so called superstars like Zion, CJ, Murray don't respect Willie Green. I still think they have alot of talent and if the right coach would show up, they could turn those guys into productive leaders.

CJ HAD 39 SHOTS TONIGHT?????????????????????
Willie is scared of CJ. Lets him do whatever, whenever including taking a large volume of shots and bad shots at that. Oh by the way, Dejaunte who doesn't score well at all is also taking more shots than your best player TMIII.

But the more I watch this team this year the more I wanna rebuild without griffin and green. Give the next regime a chance to decide on this core
Been said that. If your leadership and coach has no fire, your players won't have any fire either.

Trade CJ, Zion, BI, DJM. tank and draft high, profit (?)
What is the common denominator here? I will tell you, it goes back to culture, culture, culture. All of the guys mentioned above were treated like allstars from day one. With that said no one held them accountable for anything so they do what they want to do. SMH

Lol CJ won the game for us and was super clutch last night aside from one missed ft.
CJ is a ball hog, who played well, but continues to think he is the #1 option.

But it isn't a cultural thing like you've tried to state. Zion being out of shape isn't the orgs fault. It's Zions fault
The "Org" should make his fat arse get in shape, but they don't because just like Willie they only shout at players on the low end of the spectrum.

Yeah this is some fricking bullshite too. You must've been asleep for the past three seasons.
Players around the league constantly say they don't want to go there and play. Coaches, before Willie Green, Jaque Vaughn turned down a job to go there. So say what you want the culture is horrible.

Our 2024-25 team payroll is just north of $174 million.
It always starts at the top. First start with the owner, then Griff and finally get to Willie. No one wants to play for the pelicans, coaches don't want to coach the pelicans. You have a really bad culture problem there.

Please fire the entire Pelican Organization, including the coach. This is ridiculous. Should probably threaten to move team out of New Orleans as well.
re: If healthy: What do you do with CJ, Boston, Hawkins, and Alvarado?
Posted by jonjonsmith on 11/19/24 at 9:41 am to Pels_Yaz
I like Boston but you do realize we have lost almost every game the more minutes hes gotten right? There probably is a good reason for that. He deserves some minutes but we shouldn’t be moving real NBA starers/scorers for Boston.
I agree with you on that. But you have to look at the amount of money CJ is getting in comparison to Boston. Also, let's look towards the future, Brandon Boston has many years to play, CJ may have 1 to 2 years if he is lucky.

I think you move Jose finally. He has reached his peak potential and might as well sell while maximizing his worth. That clears the way for Boston to play along with CJ and Hawk on the perimeter.
You move on from the old guy. Doesn't have much left to give.

Whats scary is what hes doing offensively. I had no idea he could do that. Still a long season though but if this continues hes much better than Herb and pels may have traded the wrong defender. And I love Herb.
Actually you should have shipped CJ instead.

Lmao, this shite is hilarious.
It's the organization, same shite every year. Some players are hiding behind injuries because they know they can't win, and the players that are hiding are your so called superstars, and veterans that taking up most of your payroll.
So quick to make BI the problem, looks like to me he is the only one showing up to work. RIDICULOUS.........

It really doesn't matter who you trade. The entire organization is bad who tolerates this type of stuff. The players do what they want to and no one is held accountable.
You need to trade DG, then Willie and go from there.

Do we have the worst strength and conditioning team of all time?
You have the worst organization from GM to coach to old players who are paid too much money and superstars who sit out whenever they want to. Why do they think the fans are going to back this type of behavior.

CJ what a leader. Trade him. Oh no, no one will take on that ridiculous salary he has. Was he really hurt or is his feelings hurt that he laid an egg the night before and don't want to do it again?

re: Fire Willie
Posted by jonjonsmith on 10/30/24 at 7:34 am to Soggymoss
We have a good roster of talent, it’s up to the coach to get them to play together, and a “players coach” that doesn’t have any clue about X’s and O’s can’t do it.
Isn't that the reason they have Borrego? Well it seems to me that Griffin will constantly put people in place he can control or advise what to do. If that isn't a problem I don't know what is. Borrego is the next in line to do the same thing Willie is doing which is failing to meet expectations. Borrego is your X and O guy.
