    Sadly, they do. In some small part of their hearts, yes.

    Re: NBA teams: if us or (say) Milwaukee starts bitching, there's always a San Jose or Seattle who would pay literally billions for a worse team than ours.

    I agree, but they will just spin it as "we wanted to give the Pelicans as much warning as possible to find the best deal." Now the Pels are in a no-win situation for the 2nd half of the year if they keep him while waiting for the best deal. Ticket sales will decline and the locker room is now poisoned with a dude that wants out.

    I don't think it's all that poisoned. Shams reported that he candidly spoke about this with his teammates. AD has always been a stand-up dude even if Rich Paul is shady as fuck

    Stoke was still in FA Cup final not more than 10 years ago. That's better than this team accomplished in the same time frame.

    All the questions post-game will be about AD for the rest of the year. The media narrative will wear on the team. While the players won't hate him, they will get tired of the distraction.

    Damn. And I thought some of our fans overvalue players.

    NOP got intil next year trade deadline to trade him to get something for him. Who ever trade for him doing for one year rental. He will sooner or later he will more likely wind up a Laker.

    I’m sure the rest of you all are too.

    But they are a very different type of bomb.

    He's an ex-football-coach who is always fully on the players' side on everything. Hence, the idea that there would be restrictions on player salaries is stupid to him.

    It's not just that. He sounds so clueless about why it was installed in the first place and that the players association also agreed on it.

    And now he's comparing Portland fans to abused children. I'm done listening to this fool. lol the one day I tune in to hear what the scuttlebutt is in PDX, I run into this idiot.

    It's baffling how little these guys understand the CBA. Brian Scalabrine sounded just as clueless on Sirius this morning on my drive in. It's their freaking JOB to know this stuff.

    If AD ends up in LA, you will have me much more interested in that baseball team...

    For the deals I see with Moore included, switch them to Solomon Hill instead. That makes it much tougher for us to get there money wise but more appealing to them.
