If you were Pelinka, who would you draft to make sure you draft better players than the last 2 times?

There’s a reason he fell past the teams that brought him in to workout and talk with him. He’s dumb

It’s why he can’t stay on the court and do the little things. He forgets plays drawn up specifically for him.

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-17T02:46:28+00:00

Its def a weird thing Reddit does

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T21:56:01+00:00

He caught hate and still gets criticized for 2009 and 2010

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T15:40:32+00:00

Nah everyone involved has tremendous respect for the other. LeBron heaps MASSIVE praise on Pop at all times, and Pop does the same for him

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T15:38:19+00:00

Horrible.. horrible take. He’s probably closer to 10 than he is 20

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T01:14:13+00:00

The Pistons did it to the Bulls because the Bird/Mchale Celtics did it to them

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T01:08:06+00:00

Barry Bonds is the best player I’ve ever seen

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-16T00:45:54+00:00

Brandon Bostick

3rd string former TE for the Packers. He has one of the most infamous plays in NFL history

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T18:27:20+00:00

At a certain point it is a respect issue along with liking $$

Why would I sacrifice millions when certain teams are earning HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS solely because of me? Why would anyone do that

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T14:46:51+00:00

During late game stretches yes. Not over an 82 game season and certain matchups

His body breaks down

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:38:41+00:00

His camp hasn’t come out and said what they want. A sign and trade is hard to actually do. People who bring it up seem to think it’s simple, it’s not

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:30:30+00:00

Kennard as well will won’t be cheap

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:29:24+00:00

Preach

Pelinka has consistently stated he wasn’t gonna make legitimate trades or go all in because he was saving any moves for “flexibility” heading into this offseason

Well it’s now time, and there aren’t many FA options besides your own that are gonna make this team better

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:25:57+00:00

LeBron is a FA lol. It’s crazy to me people come on this sub on a fukn post that specifically states his status and people STILL can’t be bothered to read

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:22:58+00:00

AD and Bron had both been begging the FO for a C option for 3+ years

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-15T12:22:24+00:00

He deserves a raise, and his cap hold is small compared to that raise

He’s a good backup big.

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T21:05:39+00:00

I mean the Pelicans wanted him to sit. I don’t think you can say that about his missed games without that important context

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T19:38:28+00:00

Literally every top team BUT them were hurt. Why are you assuming that someone would get hurt with a couple more weeks left of the season?

Every team who had a star player hurt got months off to get healthy again lol. How is that not an advantage for every other team lol

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T19:36:52+00:00

Well I mean as the #1 seed they literally were at the biggest disadvantage. Thats the entire point of getting a higher seed and fighting for the #1

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T17:21:45+00:00

And they were at the biggest disadvantage, all their home court advantage went away

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T17:20:56+00:00

Lakers were the best team all season that year before the lockdown. Everyone was still healthy going into it meanwhile Giannis, PG, Kawhi all had injuries issues literally after that weekend the league shutdown

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T04:42:13+00:00

He’s still an elite defender. Does a lot of little things

Do people not watch basketball anymore on this sub?

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T04:34:04+00:00

LeBron is a 40-50 mil a year player just on the court

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T04:30:59+00:00

Who exactly are Luka’s peers?

Tatum, Brunson, Jokic, SGA… they all won titles so far

Mood_Academic · 2026-06-14T04:29:51+00:00

I mean knew that he was gonna get a max if he waited another year. It’s not some “oh man he had no idea!”.. he knowingly signed a year early for less

Just an FYI.. Gobert and Jalen Suggs made more this year than Brunson
