    Probably try again, especially if Porter can come back and stay healthy

    Agreed

    Man, he literally sat on the bench the entire series. While they got swept!

    I’d absolutely take him on a minimum contract. Find out how much hes willing to play. People holding on to bitterness because he left would be foolish not to welcome him back on a minimum contract.

    He’d actually be a great addition to this roster IMO

    I figure most people who say they would hate it would also be miraculously fine with it once he’s here.

    Your post supports my point. 38.5% FG shooting isn’t typical playoff CJ.

    Really not interested in him. We don’t really need a backup Center that sucks defensively, is immobile, but can kinda shoot the ball.

    We need defensive minded players, in my opinion that can defend the rim, run the PnR, rebound. Not Aldridge.

    Who also has injury/hip issues.

    What happened to Harden? Looks like an old man out there.

    He's getting older, his joints have to take a lot of stress due to play style and excess mass, and he treats his body like shit by living the party all the time lifestyle.

    Pels will be hard to beat come next season. Can’t believe we gave up on Nance.

    they've been beaten 17 times in the 35 games since the trade. 18-17 doesn't look unbeatable

    and in his first 3 seasons, Zion has played in exactly 4 more games than Greg Oden did in his first 3 seasons.

    18-17 is a giant step in the right direction considering they started 1-13.

    The Pelicans are now struggling.

    Man, Stotts would not allow 3 rookies in there at the same time in a playoff must win game. Respect to Willie Green

    Oh man...CJ getting doubled and ripped in crunch time may be the play that loses this game for them.

    Wow--HUGE pay by Nance. Did not expect to see him blow by Ayton like that

    Unless he really commits to losing weight, Zion will not last long in the NBA. That body will not endure long NBA seasons.
