    You don't have a competitive sports background do you? Either that or you have one of the good crystal balls.

    AD wants to win. Could you imagine trying to tell him, "we are committed to winning we just need you to wait 2 more seasons."

    Good luck with that.
    I would love to build a championship contender with Davis. I'm 100% comfortable building it without him if it comes to that. Those are the tough decision management has to make. What's the point of having AD if we are looking at fighting for the playoffs and 1st round exits every year anyways.

    The key is we get a better player than what we would have been m the mid teens

    Get Monroe, better position for next year, do need a guard since Allen is gone

    Something like Ajinca and the 2nd rounder (with a future 2nd) for Elfrid Payton?

    We could still sign Monroe and Liggins
    If Payton was a better shooter. I would like this

    This guy ruptured his achilles last January, then looked like this 10 months later. Hell it was just the 9th game of this season. If this is 70/80%, then I'll take that from Demarcus. Plus signing a big like Mirotic should lessen the load for minutes, offense, and rebounds. So Cousins should be able to ease back in if need be.

    The point is you don't have to search for your superstar because you already have him.

    I’ve played competitive sports but I’m also a realist when it comes to current landscape of the NBA. I just want to enjoy watching this team grow and temper my expectations for the time being. Too many fans are high strung over things that are out of their control.

    Is Nelson definitely gone? I keep reading reports that don't include him in the trade

    Yes he was in the deal according to Waj... Bulls will waive Allen and keep Nelson

    LOL. I knew that "realist" word was coming. Hey I just heard a stat that the Houston Rockets are 21-1 when Harden/Paul/Capela all play. Guess who that 1 loss came against?

    The word "realist" is one helluva overused word by sports fans. And as long as sports are played by human beings and not robots, nothing is out of their control.

    Especially when you have 2 of them. Thus this team is never far away from competing for a championship. Just takes good health, good coaching and small tweaks after that.

    But we have many "realist" fans so...

    Dang. I was probably low-key Nelson's biggest supporter here. Looked past his terrible defence and all that.

    We really need another PG considering Rondo is a big ole flop

    .......kinda funny since Golden State is just a handful of seasons removed from being a sad loser franchise in a league that everyone was saying Miami would dominate for the next decade........
    BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.

    BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.

    I think Klay is gone after this season for the Warriors. Aren't they gonna be a repeater tax team next year?

    For this season, yes.

    We were likely headed towards that path pre-Boogie injury anyways.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    Yeah, that word (realist) doesn’t mean what people think it means when referring to future scenarios. For example:

    A realist position - as currently constituted, the Pelicans will be hard pressed to defeat the GSW in the playoffs.

    A pessimist position - no one will EVER beat the GSW in the playoffs.

    I'd really like to make our first franchise conference final. Do that and I think Davis will stay. Don't and I think he will leave.

    lol no. I mean yes they'll be a tax team but they'll swallow it. The fact they gave Iggy and Livingston those contracts means they are cool with it.

    The above is NOT what was said. Find the caveated words "hard pressed" in the very hyperbolic quote I actually responded to here:

    And a "realist" position and a "pessimist" position are not mutually exclusive. They can and most often is the exact same thing among grey sky fans.

    I'm really pumped to have gotten him on this team. If he carries over this level of play he's showed this season, and he should with the amount of touches he will get, and with AD and Jrue drawing defenders' attention giving him more space for open looks.

    He's not just a spot up shooter either. He can bring the ball up the court if needed, post moves, dribble pull-ups, so much more multi-dimensional than R-Anderson, and a better defender, too. Can't wait to see him (and Monroe ; ) out on the court giving the team a boost.
