The objective is to PASSIVELY tank. Why would you want to inhibit that process with a coaching change? The season is done, but the gradual tank is going as well as we could’ve hoped!!👍🏽

[The_English_Pels_Fan]

What does Willie hold over the Pels to not be fired at this point? 🤔🏀🇬🇧

[BarbaraJonald]

elephant in the room, SIGN MIKE BROWN

[ivanreid]

After the Pels fire Willie Green, Mike Brown will be brought in.

[THEOPINIONATEDSPORTSMAN]

First off…the Sac Kings are a mess. Fox wants out. The big difference is no one wanted Brown to leave. Kings fans are ticked off Brown got fired. I think NOLA fans WANT Green to go.

[joshuadibble]

Make the players available more for season ticket holders for pictures/meet and greet

[marcusprice]

Give away more shirts. The ladies never shoot shirts in our direction lol

[DemarcoYamila]

Great content, as always! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I am so torn. The Giants just won their first home game. And just went from 80%+ chance of having overall #1 pick to less than 10%.
If Green gives us our best chance of getting a better draft pick let him stay.

[gregoryguidry]

let the new coaching play out if we get a new coach don`t start get rid of players, watch how it was indeed the coaching and management

[BP-pbjg]

Maybe fill up the lower bowl with anyone from the upper deck.

[MattMooresEyebrows]

Mike Brown being fired was one of the best things to happen for Willie's job security

[kalvinhadley]

So now they are blaming Zion for his injuries

[JamesMack-sm]

Dude rockets was nba trash a couples yrs ago. OKC was nba trash couple yrs ago. Each team got coaching way superior than pels coach.last 5yrs pels had at least 20 1st round pics n ova 20 2nd rounds pics u supposed to hav a solid team for yrs wit all them pics

[ksquareshow]

If Willie is the coach going into next season than Mrs Benson will owe Dennis Allen an apology

[rileykijek]

Would David griffin being fired see Bryson Graham fired as well. I feel like we’ve seen Graham credited with a lot of the decent drafting decisions over the years

[gregoryguidry]

Everybody wants to get rid of the players, but that`s a big mistake, I`m looking at the games recently it`s the play calling it`s the coaching playground basketball get rid of the coach and the gen. management stupid to get rid of the players just give all the players to the Lakers, but start over, and I think they ought to keep Ingram and Zion.

[nu_ra_vizion]

Can someone push the restart button and fire
David Griffin & Mickey Loomis

[gregoryguidry]

I see Willie`s a smooth talker to Mrs. Benson, if we had a new owner he would have been gone

[chirocket]

Brown being fired should have to bearing on firing Willie. Mid season firiings don't lead to turn around.
