Haha Ingram dropped a career high 36 tonight on 16 of 20 shooting. Gotta admit that's pretty funny timing considering our conversation.

I fucking love this message board.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ohhh that changes everything. He's not trash anymore . I'd trade him for AD straight up

 

[Hewson]

What if all three were stacked on top of each other under a large trench coat

They could probably buy Dorito's in the grocery store.

Congrats to Brandon Ingram. His big game last night moved him high up the list in the NBA.

He now ranks 220th in win shares. Yesterday's big game pulled him oh so slighty in front of NBA legend Rodions Kurucs.

He's now 200th in PER.

But the big jump was in his VORP - where he now ranks 441st with a negative 0.3.

It's a shame his salary doesn't match up directly with Anthony Davis' salary. I'd think the Pelicans would jump at trading one of the 3 best players in the league for a guy who is statistically more valuable when he's on the bench.

But hey - career high tho.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Haha fuck that shit man. Please don't ever use the word VORP in my presence again. And you're also just strawmaning the absolute shit out of this. I didn't say any of that. You're arguing against yourself. All I said is he doesn't suck (he doesn't) and that I like him.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

And all I'm saying is that he's trash, because he is.

The Lakers will force feed him the ball over the next few games because they're trying to convince New Orleans that he's not trash.

But there's a problem.

He's trash.

 

[iron yuppie]

Lebron, AD, and a bunch of veteran minimums still don't even come close to beating the Warriors, right?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Golden State looks damn near unbeatable with Boogie.

They were already almost unbeatable without him.

LeBron also historically doesn't mix well with bigs, so it would be interesting to see how it played out. Every other all star big he's played with has been forced to become a spot up shooter or GTFO

Maybe they can toss out LeBron, Davis, Chandler, McGee and Melo. That'll be neat.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

If the Lakers and Pelicans do get something done, don't be shocked to see Phoenix somehow involved as a third team.

 

[iron yuppie]

Easily the most logical course for New Orleans is to wait it out for Boston to make an offer in the summer. The potential value there significantly outpaces everyone else and this season is a lost cause for NO anyway.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Agreed

Yesterday it was "The Pelicans aren't trading AD to the Lakers" and now it's "If they do, don't be shocked..."

Which one is it?

It's "they aren't trading him for that trash the Lakers could offer but if a third team, owned by an idiot, with a GM who's LeBron's coffee boy were to come along and offer some picks and young players that don't suck like the Lakers trash roster, maybe it's possible."

And even that is unlikely

I know headache doesn’t want me on his team but...

Lonzo Ball sucks.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There's always room with the good guys

This makes me feel even better about being a Lonzo fan.

You mad bro?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Sure

 

[Jerry Dunk]

The Eastern Conference playoffs should be interesting this year, even if the NBA Finals ends up a foregone conclusion yet again.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Good thing how you feel doesn’t matter when I can shoot free throws as well as him.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Y'all some haters.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm a lover. But y'all? Y'all some haters. Take the hate out of your hearts.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

You hate on everyone here

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Saying the Lakers roster is trash isn't hating. It's truth telling.

Cause it's trash.

It’s sad knowing the Bucks have a legitimate chance to go to the finals and that my mindset is that it would be cool if they somehow stretched the series to 6 games!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yea but you never know when someone might get hurt or controversially suspended in game 5 and the whole series can turn.

Het Dell, it's Earvin. You know the starting 5 that's gone 6-11 over the last 17 games? How'd you like to have it in exchange for one of the top 3 players in the league? Call me!
