What’s MPJ’s ceiling? His corner 3 is god level already it seems lol. And he’s an elite offensive rebounder. Really like his game
 
Not one prospect developed during that run (as of tonight).

Again - as of the day that quote was published in 2016, they had a 6-season run (including that season and this one) where they had two Top 5 players for 3/6 of them, 4 Finals appearances and 2 championships.

That same team made the playoffs just 4 times in the 18 years before he said that. If that’s not enough, consider he bought a 26-56 team and within 6 seasons they were 73-9. That is step-function change that no other franchise can really claim to have had in recent history.This is all without mentioning that they have been down the past two years (2 out of those 6 seasons) due to injuries.

To act as if every bottom-feeding team and their fan base doesn’t hope for that type of turnaround is disingenuous. All things considered, that was an expeditious turnaround that you would have to search decades back to even come close to matching. He wasn’t wrong.
 
If I'm NO I'm letting be known right now you can have the Lakers 1st and all our 2nds if you take Steven Adams for free.

No way I'm letting Lonzo walk and no way I'm paying the tax to keep him when I have all that bad money on the books.

Hell I'd attach that 1st to Bledsoe to if need be.
Not that you’re wrong but this shows how badly the Pelicans FO has already ****ed up a very positive situation.
 
17m’s for Adams is an over pay but its not that bad of a contract . You can bring him of the bench too hes still somewhat useful

He was wrong.
Franchise is only “light years” ahead as long as Steph Curry exists.

The day he leaves that franchise is back to the cellar.
 
Way too early to make judgements, but I can't tell if KPJR will be great or if he will be Tony Wrotenesque. I have no idea.

There's major compelling parts in his game and also major holes.

I see the compelling parts, but what are the holes?

We wasted 28 on him this year and we got him locked for 17 each in next two years ? Buddy can’t score and can’t play defense he can’t do nothing except look strong . I rather have javale for a 4 mill contract in 30 mins of play I can get the same numbers from him with better defense and finishing around the rim . He’s one of the worst defensive centers in the league

I started the Javale is better than Adams take like 3 seasons ago on DailyThunder. Was originally kind of a troll take then I manifested thst **** into reality, and then they went head to head and 'Vale was jumping over Adams's muscles like a hurdle bar and sonning him, and Adams was getting his little 7 and 9 statlines and looking like AquaMan, which is funny, but not for 29Ms. I believe he is the highest paid center in the NBA

javale > Adams for sure it’s no debate especially after this season
