So I kind of thought about the whole AD thing, and my initial feelings are pretty much the same. When Chris Paul left I was very upset and placed all of the blame on him, but I place 99% of the blame on the Pelicans this time around. AD is one of those guys that will still be talked about on...
For a team that is actively selling in an effort to collect assets, Gordon Hayward is a thing of beauty. I think we can all agree that he is a negative asset at this point, and as a result for the Celtics to get off his contract they will have to attach an asset to him. Then if things go...
Ill also say this about Boston. If thats where he ends up, there are three guarantees. Tatum, Hayward, and picks. The Pelicans wouldnt have interest in Rozier or Smart.
I really cant push this any harder, theres literally zero chance they move him before the deadline. I would even be willing to bet he plays another 20+ games with the Pelicans.
So Ive been reading stuff from a guy that I trust on Pelican topics. Heres what I gathered:
Lakers have one shot, and thats going out and getting guys the Pelicans want. The only guy they have interest in is Kuzma. Im not saying they dislike Ingram, Ball, etc, but they have no interest in...
I would still be extremely surprised if AD ended up in LA. Boston, Philly, or NY is much more likely. Gayle Benson also just took over the Pelicans and they signed a new agreement a few years back. The team may move eventually, but it wont be anytime soon.
The Celtics, Knicks, and Sixers are the three teams I would look at.
From everything Ive read the Celtics would include Tatum no question, but the discussion would be what else would they include.
The Knicks have a couple young guys and are in line to land a very good pick in this draft, and...
I think this year is worse because it cost them an NFC Championship and a Super Bowl birth. If Marcus makes the tackle last season the Saints go to Philly, but I still think they lose on the road. It's certainly debatable though, considering one was self inflicted and the other wasn't.
Mike Thomas spoke on it today:
I'm no NFL historian, but it's hard for me to believe there's ever been a 2 year run that ended in heart break like this. Last year you have a reliable safety just whiff and that causes you to lose out on a trip to Philly for the NFCCG, then this year officiating...
Obviously there's always the possibility of a drop, but if you go back and watch the view from the sideline it's pretty obvious that TLL was in good position to make the catch, and he would have walked into the end zone. The ball even landed well inside the field of play at about the 2 yard...
I mean even with what the Saints did or did not do, if that flag is thrown we are talking about a Saints Pats Super Bowl. Brees vs Brady. Thats what sucks about it, the Saints did what they needed to do to kick a game winning field goal, and the officiating took it from them. They had no shot...
Billion dollar company still dealing with Mickey Mouse problems, minor league problems. The moment those officials didnt throw that flag the long term outlook of Drew Brees, Sean Payton, and other Saints players legacies were effected.
And Ill also say that officiating crew having multiple...
