    Yes, the franchise itself winning is awesome but I just dont believe that it would have been blissful if the Saints traded away Brees for a mercenary season of Favre and won it that way in 2010. But maybe that is just me getting older and finding the joy in the humans and the process, and not the end result as much
    That's exactly how I feel about BI. He feels like our Drew. I want him here forever

    Do they become useless? You're talking about a team that would have no real way to improve, with its best two players being 34+ with major injury histories. That is not a team that you believe will be a top shelf franchise in 2027.
    Basketball.

    I don't understand the mindset.

    For all the media smoke that Griffin puts out there, I fully believe him when he said that working with a ''championship or bust'' mentality every year was miserable. I buy that completely. Yes, Griff dresses it up in vague pseudo-philosophical cliche, but the idea of building something and watching it grow and adding incrementally and fighting together as a franchise and a unit feels far far far more interesting and fun to me than saying ''hey Herb, hey BI, thanks for everything, go toil in Brooklyn now so we can get smashed in the WCF rather than the 2nd round next year.''

    Gotta enjoy the process. Have a team you can root for, that's number one.

    That's fair. I still think we could offer more

    I didn't forget. Booker and Bridges would not be either of their top two players and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Bridges had to go with Ayton to Brooklyn too. And we know what Phoenix looks like when Booker is the number 1: hint, it's not good.

    I got called a troll for suggesting a Murray trade. Some of you did not take me serious. You were warned

    Gallinari would be a nice MLE get if we could dump Hayes and Temple to the Spurs for nothing.

    The good news the Spurs are obviously tanking. One less worry for us this upcoming season.

    Highly unlikely it's a Heat trade if Bam is completely off the table.

    Phoenix continues looming, as we already know they don't really wanna pay Ayton

    How many gold stars are you chasing

    Maybe you will learn from McNamara if you can’t learn from me. I called this trade from day one. I tried to mix in a Pelicans trade for Murray. You got bent.

    It is what it is . Spurs are tanking. Less worry for us.

    Carry on

    Maybe this is the vehicle to consolidate for joe Harris

    Not sure why. If the Nets have Kyrie still (plausible) and they still have Ben Simmons, and they acquire Ayton and possibly Bridges, why would they sell off high value players? They just acquired Royce O'Neale for a 1st rounder, that's an indicator that they're not looking to go on a firesale.

    He's having a tantrum because he thinks its unfair nobody is congratulating him for breaking a trade that happened multiple days ago. Just ignore him.
