    i forgot they need to replace Gordon

    yea...if Heild is there, gonna be hard to pass on him at 6...i still feel the most pressing need is a wing, but maybe they are more confident in Q-pon coming back and can slide back into that role..

    Also, if they address the Center position too, they might be able to slide AD back to the 4, and Cunningham back to the 3 as a back up to Q-pon.

    We need a new GM and medical staff, unfortunately we're stuck with Gentry for 1 more year unless Mickey has had enough already.

    Again told you ? I didn't like that Gentry hire from the jump kinda makes me wonder how much some of y'all watch ball cosigning that dude coming here.

    Yea I know we've been hurt, but there is no reason this squad shouldn't have at least been competiting for a 7 or 8 seed.

    We going to suck again next year in this system to more than likely I hope I'm wrong though.

    I was just hoping we'd suck enough to get a possible future elite perimeter player, but seems like we trying to ? even that up.

    there is a bunch of revisionist stuff going on up in here

    i think too many people in here are short sighted and look at everything in a vacuum

    if you wouldve told me before the season that the pels would've practically shut down their entire core a month after AS break, i would've called you a liar

    if this team had everybody healthy, at the same time, and STILL had this record, then i think the criticisms of Gentry would be justified, but is constantly competing for the 7th or 8th seed really seen as an accomplishment in here?

    maybe thats where im confused

    You logical to be a Pels fan bruh lol. But nah man you right, although I believe we are seeing that Gentry system works when it's not ran by hardhead stars, or low IQ players who only care about their stats.

    These d leaguers are proving that team basketball wins games.

    Nah. Finally having a draft is good. I also think that having all of the superstars out let everyone see what the offense looks like. The offense looks good when it is ran like it should. Damn I hate they got rid of Ish Smith.

    I hear ya Caddo but it's 3 things that have plagued this team for years. Injuries, chemistry and a bench. Whether it was Monty or Gentry, those 3 always hurt us. Something gotta shake man. I've never been so happy for this season to be over. You know how depressing that is. I was hyped up thinking we was gonna run some ? in the West too. We all ? up man lol

    it was a lot of this

    i went to ESPN's draft lottery generator just for ? and giggles.

    i think i did it like 10x

    once the pels had the first pick and took Simmons

    twice, they had the 3rd pick and picked Ingram

    about 6 times, they stayed at 6 and picked Dunn

    the one time it was any other spot, they picked that Center from Utah i believe

    brah...i'm playing with sliders and everything, but i might have to tweak them some more

    I'm getting a lil challenge, but im like 13-1 right now. I think the x factor is this version of Ben Simmons im playing with. It almost feels like cheese playing with him tbh

    But i was trying to go for some sort of realism. Its too late for me to start over and do a auto generated class so we'll see how this turns out

    lol

    yea brah..something fucky going on

    my closest game i almost lost was last night against denver who had the second best record in the league

    this was the first time i think the cpu actually game planned for me. They were fronting AD and standing in the passing lanes. I had too many turnovers trying to get him the ball, and they actually doubled him in the post in the FIRST QUARTER.

    then i tried bringing them out to the perimeter to do some pick and pop, and they was hedging on the screens...lawd

    idk how i pulled the win off b/c i missed too many FTs too, but i won by 2

    Two teams in the lottery that would surprise me if they pass on Kris Dunn is Boston and Minnesota, I know Boston has Isiah but he gives up way too much size defensively and he's more of a scorer than facilitator, and Ricky Rubio is just not the answer for Minnesota.

    If Dunn goes to Minny then ima start chewing tobacco.

    ? core of Minny would not be fair. I would be sooo envious of them ? .
