This team has no shooting. Was a major issue called out this summer. Cronin never addressed it

It seems all but guaranteed that we are going to send out all of our future firsts this offseason for an aging win now star, be it Giannis, kawhi, etc. Classic new owner move that he seems primed for.

I think this is all true and if so is kind of sad. But—and maybe this is pure cope and wishful thinking—if he indeed looks at it as a business that he wants to succeed in, then perhaps having an owner with an insane competitive drive and tunnel vision for winning only would help avoid some of...

FWIW dundon is known in the nhl as a cheap owner for non player things but willing to spend on players. Also cross posting this comment from Reddit last summer when the acquisition was announced: Canes fan here. The Dundon era in Raleigh has been transformative. Here's what you can expect: He...

Not great

Our lack of shooting really kills us in playoff settings

Maybe Jody wasn’t the worst after all?

Logical fallacy to continue to play dumb on this

From Sam Quinn at CBS citing The Chicago Tribune among many others: “Dumars did indeed call other teams picking between No. 8 and No. 12 trying to make this trade and was rebuffed” https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/five-ways-the-pelicans-could-have-handled-the-derik-queen-trade-better/ Now...

Lots of well sourced reporting indicated that this trade was available to everyone in the lottery between 8-13. And just think logically: is your contention that New Orleans would offer an unprotected pick and 23 to get the 13th pick in the draft but not the 11th pick in the draft? That makes no...

If so, depressing. If they value PR and overseas merch sales above winning players, what an indictment on ownership and their priorities.

Sorry but this is cope. If Yang is a star you’d see more this year. Maybe at some point he can be a rotation level player. But just on a pure asset value standpoint you could trade the New Orleans pick this year for a star player or keep it and have a much higher ceiling player.

Now that we are at the end of the season, it’s important to remind ourselves that Cronin decided to pass on a top 5 pick in a loaded draft this year for Yang Hansen.
