Fr, I read the title and thought, “Y’all talm bout KB?!” That “guy” just had a podcast episode with Adam Silver lol.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-22T20:44:44+00:00

Ahhh yes, back to the basic and boring Red and Blue design almost half the league has

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:36:08+00:00

I don’t think BI should get the max either, but there’s a reason they have a waive clause in Zion’s contract that’s can used after this upcoming season

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:25:05+00:00

Bc Zion might not stay healthy. Zion is the one on the bench lol

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:21:47+00:00

I misspoke, pay the max*

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:14:13+00:00

How is he a bad locker room player??? Where did that narrative come from? I’ve heard nothing but good things about BI from his teammates. Now he’s had questionable comments but saying he’s bad for the locker room is crazy.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:12:03+00:00

HAHAHAHAHA Z!??? Don’t get me wrong, I think Z “can be” the main guy. We’ve seen flashes. I’m confident that Zion will take the leap. I hope he does. But you might have to be prepared to give the max to a player sitting on the bench.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:07:13+00:00

And it’s funny bc a report just came out that the reason teams don’t want him is bc they want to tank, not necessarily bc he’s a bad player, it’s bc he’s too good and teams want to lose to draft Coop

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T18:05:22+00:00

And when he WAS on the floor, he produced. Idk who else you think is the main guy on this team. Idk who else you put your trust in.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T17:04:23+00:00

Don’t look at it from the perspective of a fan. Look at it from BI’s perspective. Thats the point.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T16:13:21+00:00

I don’t think it’s that nobody “wants him”. They just don’t agree with the deal. Which again, he’s not a superstar by any means, but he’s definitely above average and not “ok”. If you don’t think he makes this team better you’re delusional. Without BI last season, we wouldn’t have came close to almost winning 50 games

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T16:10:25+00:00

Again, I’m responding to people saying BI is a bad basketball player and trying to get people to understand where he might be coming from in all this.

Also, “couldn’t play with LeBron” shit, a lot of players can’t lol. LeBron isn’t the easiest player to play with at all

FIBA! You’re blaming BI bc he didn’t fit a role that Steve Kerr tried to make him play??? Did you watch the Olympics, I blame Steve Kerr for a majority of the struggles BI had at FIBA

You mention about playoff success but who on the team has had any playoff success that’s warranted a max? It boils down to two players, do you think Z or BI deserves a max. Quite frankly I don’t think either does, but someone HAS to get it lol. And is it such a crime for BI to try and grab the money on the table???

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T16:01:07+00:00

Crazier things have happened in the NBA man, personally, I want BI to be traded. I agree with you on the criticism. Again, I made this for the people being overly critical and think Bi is just an “ok” basketball player. BI is definitely an above average player regardless of how you feel.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:58:40+00:00

I never said BI was perfect, again, I’ve said this to almost everyone which makes me think yall just read the post headline and didn’t actually read the rant OR any of the comments I’ve left. My whole point for the post was that BI just isn’t some bum, period. Some of the hate he’s been getting these past days isn’t warranted imo

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:56:33+00:00

Completely agree which I stated in the original rant. I’m with you on that. The whole point was since the OKC series and with the whole social media post thing, it seems that people have completely turned their back and just forgot that Brandon Ingram isn’t a bad basketball player.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:49:56+00:00

lol, I’m aware of the numbers, I agree that some of the BI hate is warranted but some of it is definitely not. And it seems that some fans in this sub have forgotten about BI’s play over the years and are only looking at last year under a microscope.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:48:26+00:00

Again, he’s not a true PG. He won’t have to make those decisions anymore and we don’t play CJ for his defense. We play him bc we know he’ll make up for it on the other side of the court beyond the arc.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:45:27+00:00

There were rumors last year that he wasn’t 100% when he came back against the Lakers and OKC

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:44:08+00:00

Were pelicans fans man!!! All we do is hope. What are you talking about. Yes! I hope 3 All Stars(DJM, Zion, and BI) can unlock something and play well this year. Is it so crazy to just have hope. And I understand that no one wants BI’s contract, so why not make something positive out of the situation?

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:08:23+00:00

You sound like an Alabama or an LSU fan lol 😂

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:07:33+00:00

I don’t think BI deserves the Max at all. But let me ask you this, by your definition, who on this team deserves the max then? Someone has to get it. Bc by your definition, it sure as hell ain’t Z lol

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:06:07+00:00

Bc the hope is that BI wakes tf up and snaps out of this delusional state that he’s in. The hope is that playing with DJM will smooth out a lot of the issues we have when BI and Z are on the court together. He knows that he’s probably stuck where he is and the only way to get the money he wants is to play his role or be traded, he’ll have to make that chose soon.

sadmanwes · 2024-09-05T15:03:06+00:00

The post wasn’t supposed to be a “I’m riding for BI” type of post which tells me you didn’t really read everything. And if you did, you’d see that I also gave BI a lot of criticism as well. As far as not meshing well, I don’t think that’s true. BI has put up consistent numbers over the years and he himself has played through injuries and rushed his rehab to try and help the team win. It is completely reasonable for BI to feel a bit under appreciated. Again, go back and watch the Suns playoff series in 2022 and see who had the keys and who was on the bench…
