Word. Trade ingram for 3&D guys and they'll be okay.

OK, Stan. What do you suggest?

 

[freeze]

Jamal crawford vibesss

 

[misha]

Yeah, that’s the only issue.

Who’s the weakest link on the defensive end ? Zion struggles but we ain’t trading him . Guy gets cooked by any player on the court .

 

[yobyellav]

Lol how does this make sense ?

michael jackson shrug

you quoted the wrong post

The whole team does. No center could make up for all their defensive lapses.

 

[ill steelo]

Good lawd

Adam’s has no chance You gotta get him off the team for the simple fact that he’d be a straight up target in the playoffs against any of the elite lead ball handlers in the league & most of the west playoff teams have at least one. The game has passed him by he’s a backup.

You start with the weakest link what do you mean u have to fix ur worst defensive player . Guy can’t play pick and roll defensive to save his life . There’s 5 guys. On the team Zion has to improve but he contributes to much on offense . Your left with lonzo Bledsoe and Ingram . Your not gonna get a much better defender at guard than lonzo who has to overhelp most of the game Cuz they struggle . You let me know how they improve .

What center would have a chance against Kyrie in a one-on-one situation? He cooks elite defending wings.

I agree that Adams is no longer a starting quality player, but that particular play isn’t really the proof.

Adams has become an easy target as the reason for the Pelicans lack of success, but he’s just a part of it.

I’ve already given my thoughts on this.

If you really think Zion, Ingram and Lonzo are a core that will turn into a real contender, nothing I can say will change your mind.

So who you getting rid of ? Do you let lonzo walk or do you resign him and trade Ingram ?

 

[B Sox]

Well, despite all issues, can still beat the Knicks. That's good I guess.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Knicks and these close games

 

[lawdog1]

Yes, I would trade Ingram. And, again, it’s not just because of him, it’s because not many other players on the Pelicans roster have much trade value. Ingram does.

Nobody is giving the Pelicans anything of real value for Beldsoe or Adams.

 

[Armada]

Well that's the white flag being waved Bruno Fernando checking in

[pums]

This looks like a Utah home game.

 

[nick.]

[MVP]

Well well well, look at the no defense Nets being the team to break Zion's streak of 20+ @ 50% shooting. Y'all going to turn into Laker fans in July as we are the only thing that can stop them.

 

[lawdog1]

I actually think CP3 can play at a high level in the NBA for a few more years. What he does now really doesn’t rely on speed or athleticism.

 

[ballinsam23]

I was really reallly really hoping for a Tatum side step. But they decided to leave Marcus Smart wide open instead.

I can only speak for myself, but there’s no chance of that happening.

There’s no telling how long he can keep playing as long as he keeps his diet up.

Celtics were -3. Winning by five and Barrett goes and drains that beater 3
