I am not sure the Pelicans can be trusted to do anything right this year. Like, under any circumstance.

This belongs in a separate thread that doesn’t exist yet (because I’m talking about the 2026 offseason) but if the Jazz are successful at keeping the pick but it doesn’t land top-4, I’m shopping it for a premium player like Trey Murphy (that pick + Lakers pick + 2nd highest pick between...

The Kings are suddenly now within two games of the Jazz in the win column. I don’t need to finish last place. 4th worst would be just peachy as that is still just about top lottery odds and insures the Jazz keep the pick. And I don’t even know who I’d pick after 4. And we get some needed...

Fair enough.

Goodness gracious the Pelicans are helpless.

Pretty sure I can. Look, I’m not trying to be surly or tough or ****** or whatever. He hasn’t improved the other parts of his game and he can’t do what he used to. And he’s owed a bajillion dollars. You make this trade and he stays on this trajectory and it could be a catastrophic mistake.

Are we forgetting that maybe more important than that Ja has been a ****ing idiot is that he just doesn’t have the ability to physically do what he used to do? And hasn’t been able to for years? And that he hasn’t improved the other aspects of his game either? I’m *all* good. Pass.

Player development is good I think.

The position you play is the position you guard. I only want Lauri assigned to 4s.

They can afford it for at least a year. If everyone’s good then you can probably net some stuff trading pieces off. I personally am weary of our defensive woes so Reeves doesn’t appeal to me much right now (unless they somehow turn Key into Anthony Black or something).

I think I feel okay at 7 but 8 feels destined to be disastrous. In any event, I want to get as high in the draft order as possible. If there’s a way we can help New Orleans or Sac with stuff that won’t concern us in a couple of years that should maybe be given extra thought.

They’ve also principally been trying to lose this whole time, and, wait for it, have had far too many 4s this entire time. They mostly have done away with those inane lineups this year. In any event, a player’s best position is the one they guard. Lauri is a 4. It’s the one position we have...

Dude… what on earth are you talking about. Lauri is very much a 4. Playing him at any other position is rubbish.

If the most important thing Flip ever does is be our tank commander, then I thank him for his service.

What a delight. Let’s get the next one.
