[sardis]

Give it a second, rat loves to talk soccer.

[Jungle Rat]

[eCat]

when no one else could find people to work, that had to be the start of his suspicions

also Mexican dishwasher seems redundant to me.

[Jungle Rat]

Like surfer pool boy?

Why the Hoops thread?

[hedge]

But the question is a good one...

[Jungle Rat]

I can get you glo cartridges pretty cheap

[hedge]

No mention from Dave about Rasheed Wallace becoming an assistant coach at Memphis?

[Dave23]

I figured I would let the Tarheel constituency speak up first…

I’m assuming with Sheed on the payroll, Emoni Bates is soon to follow…and then it’s on…

[Jungle Rat]

UK wins!

[Jungle Rat]

I thought I already posted this here but I guess not.



Great choice for him. For now.

[hedge]

You did already post it..

[Jungle Rat]

Couldn't find it. Ah well. Deal.

[DooKSucks]

I thought I already posted this here but I guess not.



Great choice for him. For now.

He’s going to be slaying pussy if he has half of a brain.

[Jungle Rat]

2 years hopefully. He's following Kelsey if he leaves.

This might provide some insight as to how Duke had all that talent and couldn't even get to the final four. I'm not sure I'm buying all of it, he's shown potential, just not consistently.

At the start of the Zion Williamson era, there was much optimism and excitement about the future for New Orleans basketball.

Hailed as the best prospect since LeBron James, Zion's arrival was supposed to bring better days for the franchise.

Instead, it seems that only more drama has arisen.

In a report by Christian Clark of NOLA.com, some details behind Zion's troubling tenure in New Orleans got revealed, mostly regarding the relationship between him and the front office.

“Throughout his rookie season, Williamson had grown increasingly frustrated with the Pelicans for the number of hoops they required him to jump through to return from the knee injury he suffered in the preseason. The team initially provided a return-to-play timetable of six to eight weeks, but it took more than three months for Williamson to get back on the floor. When he was finally given the thumbs up to play, he was placed on “burst” limits, which he detested. The way Williamson’s return was handled caused significant tension between him and the team’s medical staff, sources said.”

A mysterious (and anonymous) NBA Redditor added to the report, taking a shot at Williamson for how he's handled his first few seasons with the franchise.

Christian Clark's reporting on how shitty Griffin's tenure here has been, and how many in the organization have turned on him.

Griffin basically has no relationship with Zion and they don't really speak.

Zion showed up fat from the day 1 of summer league after we drafted him, and turned on the organization with how cautious they were over his knee injury. Showed up even fatter to the bubble and and we hid another injury at the request of his family.

Now the guy who's been fat for his entire NBA career, won't show up to any of the team's offseason workouts together, ghosted BI and Vinson back in Phoenix, was in Vegas for summer league, didn't meet up with his teammates and has no relationship with the front office.

I've said it before but it almost impossible for these past two years to have gone any worse. A fraud POBO. A franchise player who's been fat or injured for his entire time here, his psycho parents, and somehow less leadership ability than Anthony Davis. At least AD showed up to team tryouts. Shit is ridiculous.

Ja is better. Thanks for choosing poorly.
