    I'm still unsure how, after their poor start, playing the exact same pre and post trade turned their season around. They had a shit start. 1-12. Since then, they are 34-32. 13-12 with CJ on the team, 21-20 before the deal. He missed 2 games, so they are 12-11 with CJ, 22-21 without. They had already "turned things around" after their shit start. Had the Lakers not completely turned to shit, they might not have even made the play in tournament. Quite a turnaround

    Solid take, but... What was their record during that "with CJ" period that Ingram missed with injury? I haven't looked it up, so it's not a leading question. I would guess that staying above .500 would have been very difficult pre-CJ if Ingram missed time.

    They received one of the best SGs in the game and didn't give up much. They won the trade..... hands down.

    of course it didn't save their season.....but they did fleece the fuck out of us. Going forward they are better because of the trade as we are not.

    Thanks. Pretty much what I suspected. They basically treaded water without Ingram, meaning the team has been better with CJ than they were before acquiring him. Maybe only by 2-3 games, but that's a sizable percentage swing.

    That pelicans trade is starting to look worse by the day. We will be stuck in purgatory until we get a new owner and a competent gm.When one's first moves as a gm after being an assistant for many years is giving up assets for pennies on the dollar said person should not be a gm in the nba.

    I like Clippers top 9 players. pretty solid. Powell is healthy again, has 24 points in 22 minutes, he and Roco are coming off the bench. I don't know what that means for our pick. Means Clippers might beat Minny and then our future depends on Minny beating Pels?

    Man Powell really kills. I don’t know why this fanbase hated on him when all he did was score 18-20 efficiently

    First, New Orleans would have to beat San Antonio, a team that has won 7 of their last 8 games (including beating the Pelicans in New Orleans). The one loss was by 1 point to Memphis.
    If the Pelicans beat the Spurs, they would have to beat the Timberwolves in Minneapolis or the Clippers in Los Angeles.

    If the Blazers get the Pelicans first round pick and turn it into Jerami Grant, the trade is essentially CJ McCollum (and Larry Nance and Tony Snell) for Josh Hart and Jerami Grant.
    McCollum will be 31 years old when next season starts and make $33 million. Josh Hart will be 27 and make $13 million and Jerami Grant will be 28 and make $21 million.

    I don't recall any hate for Powell, the player. I think a lot of us hated that Powell was the starting SF. He became the final symbol for olshey midget-ball

    fuck powell, i dont like selfish players, man wouldnt pass the ball to god, let alone other person

    like having cj mccollum wasnt enough, imagine my pain watching that prick powell too

    add to that shooting first point guard dame lillard and simons who in that situation was looking to get his own and entire game became unwatchable for me

    i was enjoying watching team play without cj mccollum, powell and even dame, everybody got touches, passed the ball, gave max effort, everything you want to see

    Yeah, I know it's just his shtick by now, but nobody really hated on norm. Hell, most wanted CJ moved so he could start at the 2 for us.

    And of course I kid. I know we are used to be scorned but I can't understand how the Blazer faithful is all that worried that we are going to lose the Pels pick. I would be more worried about what we do with the pick once we get it...
