    Seemed more appropriate throwing away tampering money

    Hey so saw some tweets about good Ole Honest Mitch recently. The only GM in the league who won't break tampering and deadline rules. How did free agency go for him this year ..... anyone know?

    Wow really some insightful discussion in this topic about Pelinka, Kidd, and more! Perhaps I should recommend a few of you on here to take on a role in the front office!

    Hey! Just be thinking about finding DeMarcus Cousins some great endorsement opportunities to help smooth the way to one more 1 year contract as per vash with the MLE next year that we could bump him to 17M with early Bird rights, so then the following year we can give him the long term for big bucks. Long as he's back to basically 80% Boogie. If I'm remembering correctly on the Bird stuff.

    None of the stupid Cliff Paul type crap. Hope you can be thinking in this area along with your peeps over at the AEG mothership.

    I believe it's was Rob's compliments to the Pelicans organization, including Griffin and owner Gayle Benson during AD's introduction that caused DG to reciprocate here. So credit where credit is due, yeah Griffin is a good guy but Rob kicked off the good will.

    I realize this is a Rob Pelinka thread, but I just felt I had to say this. I watched about 25 minutes of that presser and the first 10 mins of it was David Griffin explaining the trade and why each of the 4 players up there are meaningful to them and I'll tell you what... He's a hell of a spokesperson and I can understand why he has so much respect around the league. He knows how to explain things and give praise.

    The professionalism, My Goodness!

    Yeah, still wish on one hand that Jeanie would have hired Griff as POBO. On the other hand, if she had, maybe the Pelicans hire some knucklehead and we never complete the AD trade.

    Yeah. I remember Rob talking about how David Griffin watched Glengarry Glen Ross in preparation for the negotiation, and that in a gesture of good faith Rob set up a meeting with him and Jack Lemmon so Griffin could figure out how Lemmon prepared for the role.
