It’s a lot easier to work around one bad perimeter defender than a ball dominant player who teams don’t need to guard and who literally won’t shoot. If I’m building a roster I’d much rather have CJ as a 2nd or 3rd option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amac Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Lest we forget the blazers have had a similar level of success over the years with CJ as the #2 on a thin team Edited June 23, 2021 by amac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympics start July 23rd. Not sure when the first basketball games start tho but that'd be some tight travel and prep if any of these guys happen to make the Finals and it goes all 7.

I would imagine if day one is the opening ceremony the basketball should begin by day two or three of the Olympics pretty early on as they have a lot of games to play.

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The Pelicans are looking to relocate but apparently the league is also going to vote on adding two expansion teams in 2022 with Las Vegas and Seattle being the front runners to get teams so they likely won't allow the team to move to either city. Move the Jazz back to New Orleans and let us be in the Eastern Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson has said on multiple occasions she will never move the team. She owns the Saints and it really makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Also Simmons should've dominated in the first round against a below .500 team and averaged 14.8 ppg on 64% FG and 21% FT, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
