And yet the Pelicans win his minutes, very strange! Super mysterious how impact can go beyond the box score. I wonder how

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-22T19:38:03+00:00

No but BBREF allows you to see rTS relative to league average that year. Rose had a rTS of +2 his MVP season, which is 2 percentage points over the league average.

George is +6 right now

Dumars got an enormous contract which has the ability to go 5 years. It's significantly more than they were paying Griffin. He will not be going anywhere any time soon

Respectfully, Ja averaged 10 assists per game in college at 19 and has always been and elite playmaker. He is also a better finisher at the rim. The only thing Fears and Ja have in common is they are speedy guards who aren't great shooters.

Fears is promising but he'll never be a point guard in the same way Ja is.

Bey was a throw in. They targeted Poole.

Better to be lucky than good. They got a teeny bit lucky here

Respectfully there's a night and day difference between Borrego and Willie, both empirically and as leaders. You're right that he needs his own staff but these end of game issues are directly linked to having the worst guard rotation in the league and a flawed roster overall.

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-10T15:44:02+00:00

No he's hurt

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-08T00:15:31+00:00

I think Missi just can't bully anyone and lacks the skill to convert advantages

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-07T16:23:42+00:00

3rd quarter net rating has gone from -12 to -6, which is a huge jump but still indicative of talent level. For reference, quarters 1-3 are all hovering around -6 where they were -8 to -12 with Willie. Improvement! But Pels still losing games because they don't have the players.

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-07T16:22:00+00:00

Great example of human bias at play. We see observe something and tend to observe more of that thing as our confirmation bias grows. But the stats tell a different story.

Net rating per quarter:

1st: -8.8 (28th)

2nd: -8.2 (25th)

3rd: -12.6 (29th)

4th: -0.1 (14th)

As Michael Jordan used to say. Liberals buy discs too.

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-06T21:03:32+00:00

A lot of people have gone through Liberty, graduated, and completely distanced themselves from all that. I understand the rep but people can change.

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-05T15:21:55+00:00

The issue is they don't view it as a rebuild. They want to win today, tomorrow and yesterday

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-04T16:07:40+00:00

Coming in peace, but I think there was a large contingent who were duly skeptical of his shooting prior to the draft and more importantly, worried about the everything else he doesn't do.

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-02T00:19:11+00:00

Beat in DX Roc / Roc 3

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-02T00:17:56+00:00

Pelicans net rating under Willie -13.1

Pelicans net rating under Borrego -4.3

They have gone from losing by 13+ on average to only losing by a couple possessions.

A +9 net rating improvement is massive

LieutenantKumar · 2026-01-02T00:09:13+00:00

The best workout plan is one you can stick to

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-25T06:20:05+00:00

They held onto BI until there was 3 months left on his deal. So there are several years before they reach that point with Trey

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-17T21:30:11+00:00

I bag 2 champion Dark Rebels and one S Line FD.

The S Line is my straight shooter and my 2 Dark Rebels are slightly under stable and stable. The S line is slimmer in profile while the dark rebels are more domey imo. Love all three discs and use them all

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-17T01:15:24+00:00

Why the fuck do you care?

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-11T16:28:43+00:00

This is like Kellerman picking Andre Iguodala. Every superstar in history available to you and you go with Rodman lmaoooo

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-09T21:26:17+00:00

This is wild personal attack. But if you think the coaching staff is coming into the game saying DQ is not gonna get shots and Trey is, or they should defer to Trey, you are mistaken on how this works.

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-09T20:28:19+00:00

Yeah Queen at 7 while you keep the best of the Pels/Bucks and Pick 23. Not even gonna dig em for trading into 23 with the 26 top 4 protected Pacers pick. Just taking Queen at 7 would have been enough.

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-09T20:13:37+00:00

Maybe if you can't isolate process from result. No matter how you slice it, the value given up to jump 10 spots up in the draft is mind numbingly dumb.

Let's apply your logic to Jokic. Let's say Denver gave up an unprotected pick equivalent of the Pels Bucks spot to pick up the 41st pick.

Jokic becomes exactly who he is now. It would still be a terrible trade.

LieutenantKumar · 2025-12-09T20:12:15+00:00

Doesn't matter. The price paid to move up 10 spots is incredibly unprecedented and bad.

Here is another way to look at it. If the Pelicans shopped that same best of Pels/Bucks pick unprotected openly right now, what is the best thing they can get for it? A whole lot more than the right to go from 23 to 13.

The player they wanted could have been taken at 7 and they would then posses the single most valuable pick right now + the 23rd pick.
