Trading for Poole was a big mistake.
Pels aren't getting Morant.
Again, the Pacers pick was top 4 protected. In the end there's a good chance we never would've seen that first.
Keep Missi!!!
Dejonte and Pool are without a doubt the odd man out…
If Queen was coming out this year he would have been a top 5 top 10 pick
I hope this is true; and, this would be a good gamble to give up a future 1st rounder for. Queens was a gamble; I hope Queens show that it was worth it.
JB needs to tell Herb to get rid of the long shots, he played good defense in SA and rebound he had a lot of misses with them stupid long shots.
what`s with the stupidity of wanting to get rid of Zion, the man is playing good basketball, what they need to do is add Ja, and keep Zion 2 good shooters in Trey and Ja, with Z baiting the opposition and kicking it back to them, they`ll lose without Z he`s one of the main piece of the puzzle
the puzzle
I’m willing to give Pool away for a cheeseburger.
That’s all we ever get with this team when it comes to trades. All noise no substance 😂
I mean if Trae Young can get traded for basically nothing I expect Morant will too.
I don't undersatnd. What basketball team in a clear mind would wish to acquire Jordan Poole? He is awful.😮
Every dayer comment
I don’t care about a 2030 pick if we get JA …
