If both Zion and BI can play 55 games a year and be okay for the playoffs, we win a ring in the next 5 years with this core.
If they can't,
Tell me what culture Cleveland had before Lebron came back.
Tell me what culture Milwaukee had before Giannis became an all-timer.
the more I think about it the more I am convinced we need to keep the current core in tact. Even though we didnt make the playoffs I still think it was
hornetsrebirth 05-27-2023, 03:01 PMI really like Butler as a player, but has he ever been a starter in an All Star game or made First Team NBA or even First Team All Defense? I'm not sure
new city champ 05-27-2023, 02:28 PMIt's somewhat fluid but I'm not sure that there's no clear hierarchy - for example, pretty much everyone agrees Miller, Whitmore, Jarace, and the Thompson
Pelicanidae 05-27-2023, 02:00 PMMy comparison with Duren was because he's a young defensive minded center with the ability to switch on perimeter and moderate success at college level.
Blattman 05-27-2023, 01:55 PMI'm definitely not as high on Cam Whitmore as the mocks are. I've seen him get so wild on the floor, he falls down for no apparent reason. He could be

PELICANSFAN 05-27-2023, 10:15 AMIn any case, guys who are likely to be there around #14 that I would be interested in:
Jett Howard, Brice Sensabaugh, Nick Smith Jr, Leonard
Butler is a 6x All Star, 5x All NBA, 5x All defense, Olympic gold medallist. I think that's a probably HoF player - there are far worse in the hall. If
Pelicanidae 05-27-2023, 06:22 AMI don't really see the comparison, honestly, duren was so much above Lively as a prospect as to make the comparison unfair imo. Unless you just think
Pelicanidae 05-27-2023, 06:15 AMI can see Griffin and co falling in love with him. Remember they were high on Duren last year and they reportedly interviewed Lively at the combine. With
Blattman 05-27-2023, 02:23 AMI?d trade BI for 3 and Simons, and I love BI. But I don?t think we?ll get a better deal than that and this team doesn?t have a large enough sample size

Somebody else embed it.
Not a fan of Rozier. He is a chucker on a bad team. Not sure we need any more small guards. Whose playing time does he take? Granted, Hayes, Kira

Who at #14?
I’d be happy with GG Jackson, Lively, or Whitehead. None would get much playing time if we run it back but I believe all could be groomed for more.
