If Griffin wants to keep his job after this year. We need to go after Kyrie Irving asap. Pair him with Ingram and Zion and we have a triple threat. What we have currently won?t even make the playoffs. I am speaking on behalf of Griffin if he wants to keep his job. I believe he drafted him in Cleveland and he has a Duke connection. Make it happen

All the other reasons why it's a bad idea aside, how do you make the money work?

Looking at the trade machine, it's impossible until after December 14 unless you give up Ingram basically (not happening). So, let's pretend we wait until after the 14th. I suppose you could give up:
Satoransky, Temple, Hart, Naw, Lewis and a first rounder. Maybe they'd take that. I don't know. But even then it's probably only a half season rental. He has a player option next season. -

Noooo...... It's so nice and tidy with all the players I hate the most divided between two teams: Irving, Harden, Griffin on Brooklyn; and Westbrook, AD, Lebron, and Dwight Howard on the Lakers.

Lol ...... really? You actually trust Kyrie? We already have a young star who is barely a professional.

Yes, if Griff needs to keep his job he needs to trade for a superstar player who is, as far as we know, not even on the market and who has a reputation of being unprofessional and is rumoured by many to be only one or two steps away from considering retirement and who has injury problems.
Genius. -
10-15-2021, 03:30 PMAtlPelsFanHave you seen this team play this preseason ? Just making sure we are looking at the same team.Quote:

This Irving guy want to be back with Lebron in LA so bad. Lebron wants nothing to do with the guy. That should say something.

10-15-2021, 04:32 PMTaker597It would be so wild if Harden, Westbrook, and Durant reunited lol.Quote:

I think he will do fine in our locker room due to the Duke brotherhood from the top Tradjon and the players from there. He is somewhat of a hippie and will fit in just fine in Frenchman st in New Orleans during his down time.Quote:

Not just missing games through vaccinations cause you have to account that he goes out on personal reasons as well... if you have someone like that shouldn't the rest get the same treatment then? Guys like zion bi etc should get those as well... if im a teammate of his and he starts doing this crap, i would have no respect for him and blast the gm as well for catering to that guys needs and not thinking about it as a team with aspirations to win.

10-17-2021, 10:22 PMPELICANSFANDon't really agree about him being fine in the locker room. However, you never addressed the big question - how do you propose we get him? What is the trade offer you think gets him?Quote:

If we can just take Kyrie's talent and transplant it into Kira Lewis Jr. I'd make that trade. But since to get Kyrie you get his copious amount of idiotic, pretentiousness plus bones made of Squid Game sugar shapes, I'd rather not. I'd literally rather trade for Ben Simmons.
Let his scared of a lil' ol' needle self waste away in Brooklyn. -
