It's so frustrating to be honest, that despite the enhanced transparency we've had from the front office, we still can't get a clear message about what is obviously one of the most important meetings in franchise history. We aren't asking for notarised minutes or anything, we would just like to know what day the metting is ACTUALLY going to happen.
It's incredible how unclear this has been. Back when Griffin got signed, he said he'd meet with AD. Fine. Then like two weeks after, we heard that they'd be meeting after the lottery. That didn't happen, then we learned they'd be meeting after the combine. Then that didn't happen, now we learn they're meeting yesterday. That didn't happen, now they're meeting at the end of the week.
Why can't two grown adults just set a date for a meeting and actually go to it? I don't understand that prevarication.
Basketball.
They should care about what we want because we are the fans of the team, and there's no reason to alienate your fans over something that would cost you absolutely nothing. It would cost Griff and the FO absolutely $0 and about 30 seconds of time to clarify this, and it would make a lot of people feel more comfortable with what's happening.
Obviously they're under no obligation to tell us anything, but we all hated it when they did that in the past and it looked like they were going a different, more transparent direction.
Oh ha! Is that MM? I was thinking only a tool would put ELITE in their name. All he does is throw mess at the wall. Most of the time it's "a had source" or he pretends he never claimed something would happen. Every now and then coincidences occur. He's never actually reported anything insider.
Yeah it's MM.
It's funny because sometimes when he's just being open about things being his opinion, he can pretty decent. His posting about Zion inevitably having flaws in his game but being an incredible prospect anyway, and highlighting that Zion's athleticism isn't actually as excitin as his IQ, that's all true and is something a lot of Pelicans twitter needs to hear since they've been freaking out about the idea that Zion has any problems whatsoever. The last time he was on the In the N.O. pod he was pretty decent too.
But as a ''source'' for any information, you may as well flip a coin on whether he's right on any given thing.
What's really great about this is I can think of one or two people on Pels Twitter that you could replace the name "Bryan" with and they would totally tweet out something like this. I imagine every fan base has these pic.twitter.com/AhW7tVyXAm

I'm way out of the loop. Who the hell is ScoutBryan or whatever? What'd he do?
He apparently used to be a scout for the Washington Wizards. Now he's not working for the NBA anymore, and makes ''expert'' youtube videos and tweets a lot. He's also a horrible person. He recently got into a lot of drama because he was DM'ing long time followers on twitter telling them to either pay him or stop following him. Then he got very mad at people for pointing out that he doesn't appear to know what a zone is, and continued DM'ing them, telling them that he would make sure they never got a chance to work in the NBA if they kept on talking trash. He also DM'ed someone saying the he never watched college basketball when they asked him about some prospects, which (since he was a scout for them) explains why the Wizards are so garbage, hiring guys like that.
He also got into an argument with an old NBA player (can't remember which one) telling him that he doesn't know basketball cause he's never worked in a video room. Then he claimed that when he worked for the Wizards, the job got him tons of girls cause they loved his ''half zip team issued'' hoodies and bragged about taking girls on dates to the NBA practice facilities. Which is amazing.
When called out on all this nonsense, he proceeded to go on a blocking-spree across twitter, make at least two fake burner accounts to argue with people, and write up a multi-page semi-manifesto calling out twitter ''analytics'' nerds and generally having a meltdown.
Meltdown May caught a late one.
Edit: Here's one of the tweets from the burner accounts. It's absolute comedy gold.
Raise your hand if you've seen the look on your date's face when you take her to a pro sports facility and she realizes you have keys to get in ANYWHERE at the facility except for the operations annex. Anyone?

What is it with people named Bryan and burner accounts?
