Damn right! Read more

I guess, but it makes more sense as the Celtics, just because they’re actually positioned to do things in free agency, whereas the Rockets will have to do all their acquiring via trades for a while. Read more

I think it’s possible to construct plausible narratives around any number of potential sources of leaks. When offer details first showed up in reports, my first thought was the Pelicans were trying to drum up competing offers. I hadn’t even come close to considering spite as a motive before Windhorst’s “scoop,” but it… Read more

Man, Dell Demps was an embarrassing GM working for an embarrassing organization whole years before Windhorst reported that the Pelicans torpedoed the Lakers via trade talks. Read more

Absolutely not! But it was the only reported narrative, and it follows a path of logic, and it is no less credible than what Shams reported today. You’re privileging a statement from an anonymous Pelicans source with every bit as much conflict as those behind the earlier story, in order to give me shit about blogging… Read more

Uhh, Windhorst was asked point blank by Rachel Nichols if the Pelicans were leaking the trade discussion in order to humiliate the Lakers, and he said, unequivocally, that that was the case. Then Magic Johnson openly accused the Pelicans of negotiating in bad faith. Now, exactly a month later, comes a report that an… Read more

In a lot of situations I might agree with you, but the Pelicans suck shit, and they wasted the whole first half of Davis’s career. It seems unjust to me that they could now decide to bench him for half a season in order to try to squeeze a better trade for his services this summer. Like, whatever claim they have to… Read more

Listen, if Davis wants to sit out, cool. But if he wants to play, the Pelicans should let him play. Fans want to see him play, he wants to play. Motherfuck the shit-ass Pelicans if they think they deserve draft lottery gold more than those parties deserve to enjoy some damn basketball. Read more

I really think Grunfeld doesn’t know Bryant was drafted. Read more

I definitely agree, over the long term this hurts the Pelicans WAAAAAY more than it hurts the Lakers. The Pelicans really just look like petty, vindictive assholes who are prioritizing vengeance for an imagined crime over doing right by the best player in their franchise’s history. No one will ever want to play there… Read more
