Thanks Jake!
If Griffin hired Green three years ago so as to have more control over the coach, and this is how the coach has coached… this should tell us something about Griffin.
I expect the Pels to be top 3 in the West
If Willie Green is the coach I think he is…HE WILL BE COACH OF THE YEAR…. he will have 2 DEATH LINEUPS….
MURRY,HERB,B.I,TM3,ZION
THIS LINE UP SHOULD BE MADE TO RUN TEAMS OFF THE COURT AND WOULD WORK BEST ON TEAMS WITH SLOW 5's … kinda how teams did us with JV…
B.I,Cj,Herb,TreyZion deserve a lineup together because HAD we never got Murry this would've been the deathline… Now the B.I need a point guard talk is… They had Z02 NOW Murry aint the passer Z02 IS OR THE SHOOTER….BUT WE GIVING HIM MERITS OFF WHAT HE WAS IN SAN ANTONIO…he is not a 3 point shooter…he is good at playing downhill… HE IS JUST A FASTER CREATOR AND BETTER DEFENDER THEN CJ…. SO HE GETS TO START ON PLAYING BOTH WAYS… CJ SHOULD TAKE A SEAT AND RUN 2ND UNIT…. HIS SKILL SET BUILT FOR IT…. EASILY 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR OR TM3…. THEY CAN BOTH JACK UP SHOTS WIT JOSE AND HAWK… ALL SHOOTERS Z CAN RUN WIT EM B.I CAN ITS JUST ALOT TO PLAY WIT…. AND COACH G IS TOP 10…. HE NOT THE ONE TRADING PPL AWAY…. JAXSON HAYES SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN LOST…. OR Z02 ITS BAD BUSINESS….. IF THEY DONT PAY B.I. I CAN MAKE A ARGUMENT THAT EVERYONE SHOULD LEAVE…… THIS IS FACTS…. I WANNA TALK TO DAVID GRIFFIN…. ZION LITERALLY CALLED HIM THE REAL KILLA RIGHT…. GO LOOK AT ZION FACE WHEN THEY LET Z02 GO…. THIS IS ALSO SOMEONE WHO CAME FROM LA WITH B.I…. YOU KEEP TRYNA CHANGE THE TEAM THATS READY MADE…. IM NOT HATING THE MURRY TRADE BUT WHY WOULD U NOT TRADE FOR A BIG FIRST ANYWAY IS MY FIRST QUESTION…….
This has been such a long offseason, even with the olympics. Can't wait for media day!

One thing that still puzzles me. If it begins and ends with Zion, why was Brandon the last player announced at the start of games? I don’t read much into it, but is that just generally weird?
Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Optimistic but cautious as ever…..life blood of a Pels fan….🏀🇬🇧
Pels hopeful
I agree with you Jake on Dejounte take. I remember wanting DJ Murray over Trae Young when a lot of fans were begging for Trae. My main point was that DJ could wreak sooo much havoc on defense next to Herb Jones and he fits better as Zion 2nd man than Ingram because he’s actually money from spot up 3s. I can’t wait to see this team when we have DJ Murray- Herb-TM3-Zion-Desired C w/ CJ as the super 6th man 🔥🔥
