    We may never know. Sometimes a big shake up like this can change the culture. Hopefully. Because I think you are right, culture is extremely important. It's very hard to just change. Needs a catalyst.

    If the Pels play this right and make the needed changes inside the organization, we may never be able to distinguish what helped more.

    Kind of an obscure statistic, but could anyone locate the pels record depending on attendance. This observation may be off, but it seems like in those games where the pels sell out or get close to filling the arena, it seems like they tend to win or play well enough to win more often than not. For example, in our 5 game homestand in January we won our games against Cle and SA at home (I believe both were sellouts), but lost to the Nets, OKC, and Was. May not be well founded but would like to see some analysis if it's available

    Look, you guys want to be happy about this. You want to think titles are possible. That's cool--- I will not push my thoughts on anyone. Just don't ask

    Do you know whether we were ever close in the rumored discussions for George (or if that was simply exploratory)?

    Not remotely close. Top 3 possiblilites were Cousins, Drummond, and Lopez

    As I have gotten older I have realized that culture and leadership is even more important. We will see who was right - the older me or the younger me

    I don't care about right or wrong. In fact, since I was 25 I have gone into every debate hoping to be proven wrong. Only way you grow/learn

    my question is - assuming he does not sign the extension and waits until Free Agency (most likely) - would the Pels have any financial edge over the rest of the league in regaining his services? can we offer more, etc?

    I guess my hope for the culture is that getting a Callaperi type brings the pedigree and culture that is able to rein in DMCs personality.

    Also, that's how octopi talk. They squibber. Yes, it's a word. Shut up.

    Yes, we can offer a 5th year and 7.5 percent raises. It is a significant difference

    Haha I was just joking :-)

    I'm just glad the debate now is talent vs front office instead of which has been GM or coach to bring in next

    THANK YOU. This makes me feel so much better (and I was already giddy). Given all the other factors - proximity to family in Mobile, affinity for New Orleans, presumed excitement teaming with AD & Jrue - it seems really likely he would stick.

    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Season Ticket pricing is already locked same for 17-18 - i renewed day 1 - My coworker called in to renew today and the office is slammed. Pels now have a waitlist for tickets next year. You already see the prices going up on the ticket exchanges. This question will be if the price doubles in 2018 before we know if Cousins is going to resign.
