    People are antsy. I dont blame them. And they'll either be happy or all the vitriol will be redirected towards Olshey.

    That is both repulsive and fascinating at the same time.

    We might as well trade Swanigan for Davis and Trent for LeBron.

    I’ve watched Mirotic play since before he was even in the NBA, so save it. You look at basketball reference and think you know everything about every player. It’s boring getting into discussions with you. He’s not a bad defender and has never been one.

    *This isn’t my research since I’m too lazy and don’t care enough right now, but it backs up my claims*

    From the Athletic:

    Defensively, Mirotic has a reputation as an incapable defender, but that could not be further from the truth. According to Synergy, Mirotic ranks in the 95th percentile in half court defense, allowing only 0.769 points per possession. This matches my eye test. Mirotic has great awareness and knows how to position himself on defense to support the backside, help on drives and contest kick-outs. He is also a phenomenal pick-and-roll container, ranking in the 85th percentile. While he is made to look silly against the speediest point guards, he does the subtle things right.
    • Off the screen, he allows .76 ppp, -84th percentile.
    • Defending spot-ups, his .89 ppp allowed -73rd percentile.
    • On post-ups, he holds his man to .77 ppp -69th percentile.
    • .88 ppp when defending in isolation. -52nd percentile.

    I think we’re gonna be big players with our expirings next year but I’m praying for a decent trade for us soon, teams are clearly selling Neil can not cop out and say nobody was available

    Is there any significance to the Pelicans adding a Rich Paul client in Markieff Morris? Could he be rerouted somewhere else? Insurance for a Mirotic/Randle trade? Neither?

    Really, there is only one argument: is Olshey a bad negotiator, or has he built a roster of players nobody else wants? Either way, he is letting the franchise down.

    C. He’s irrationally in love with his core. Even the Hood trade didn’t include any of them.

    I know we bashed Ropp for saying it. But he basically called out Olshey for being a glorified scout. And if the shoe fits....
