Pels off to good start. How long till the refs make sure Lakers win?

Oh man I see Scott Foster is reffing. Forget it Pels


The Pelicans never had a chance with Foster reffing, the Lakers are winning one way or another

I feel like I've been saying this for a year but we need to be circling the Pels like sharks. They have some decisions to make soon. Letting JV walk isn't enough, and they will not go into the tax. They also have a bunch of young guys that need playing time. It's a good problem to have, but still a problem nonetheless.

It's crazy how things like this are just accepted as a given. No one ever argues that no, the NBA is a legit honest competition

Time for the Wiggins to Toronto deal suggested in a thread here?

Sell Curry? They probably gonna go down the Penguins route and hold onto Curry like the Pens have with Crosby. I wonder how much Curry would fetch?

It hurts but its the right thing to do. Let curry win on a contender. GS had a dynasty run time to pivot

I mentioned that during the year. It was obvious that they were done. None of there young guys are going to save them and help Curry truly compete over the next few years.

They have a lot of similarities with us over the last few years. They got stuck thinking they could grow a new generation while trying to compete. They could of flipped there picks before that draft with Kuminga, or during the first 2 years of there careers and got some series help. And then this year, they were us at last year's deadline. They should of sold but they didn't. At least they have this off season to trade Curry. They won't, but they should. Why run it back next year just to compete for the right to get smoked in the first round. "Play-in for what."

Will Curry even want to do that? I think he'll want to compete. It's essentially Klay, Green, and Curry left and Green might be gone. Will he want to waste his last few years playing for nothing and possibly without his buddies?

I would love to see him in Denver. Picks, Porter, Braun, Watson and filler.

I think he'll still fetch a lot.
