I know this is a staple of Bobby Marks videos, but ESPN can you please chip in and get him a better mic or whatever it is that keeps his volume so low? Obviously I can turn the volume up, but then the outro NBA on ESPN song swoops in and kills my ears at a 100 dB.
He needs a better camera, lighting, and sound.
Ingram looking baked during a 🏀 game is always funny.
Blowing on that LeBum pack pre-game ritual 😂😂
I swear I've never seen Ingram sober 😅
But Zion had the munchies
@@DaVinciiTaylor so did dlo in game 4 🤣🤣🤣 they all blowin on the LeBum pack
@@InfamousSslickXthis gotta be a bot lol
BI is good but not 50 mil good 😅
Sometimes he is. Sometimes he ain’t. He makes his money on statistically “bad” shots which is rough.
@@mygirlfriendismean Under 40% fg, no D, and no voice in the locker room. I wouldn't give him over 3 years 50 mil
@@HamptonGuitarsthat’s not true.. yeah he had a bad season but 40 percent isn’t horrible, on defense he made a huge jump this season than any other season, and no voice in locker room completely untrue
@@HamptonGuitarsHe had 49% FG this season
@@harlemNY252 You are correct, my bad. I am very surprised considering all the bad shots he takes.
It's not a big 3. It's a big 1. Zion is the only superstar on this team. BI and CJ have to go.
this is a great idea, then its a Zero because ZION Doesnt play most time. Zion was needed in first round and where was he? hurt again. and some players play hurt but he never does.
F the big 3 it's just big z
@@daveauscards The Z is for zero.
@@stocksgoupward5922gotta be patient with him . Like when 76ers was with embiid
Big two with herb Jones
I would like to see point Zion and Dwight Howard at center
I don’t think Zion has played a single playoff game in his career. RJ Barrett has more at this point and no one would’ve guessed that during the draft in 2019. This team is in the luxury tax and they are a play-in team. That’s not good.
Yep, Zion has played 6 seasons with zero playoff appearances.
@@tarnel9 year 5 for Zion with zero playoff appearance. 1 play in appearence
I thought the PELS just hit under it this year ? I personally cant see them paying the tax in 24/25 given where they finished this year. They basically just need to decide on Jonas' extension number (Since they will probably resign to retain him)
Its only in a couple years when Murphy / Alvarado / Daniels get paid is when hard decisions will need to be made !
@@TheCarlo355 playin is not playoffs. Playins are not included in playoff statistics. Therefore, technically I am correct.
you are correct I was just talking play in, as far as appearance not Stat wise tho. But you are right tho and I know play in is not part of statistics for playoffs
Cj for dejounte Murray is more appealing to me I see ppl saying trae but I rather have dejounte
I’ll get more defense and he still a really good playmaker and can score if needed
Finally, someone is Thinking 🧐
@@ell5261 they gotta wake up this is the most logical thing to do .. Dejounte won’t force anything and can run the second unit really well when Zion and bi sit and get the ball to trigga in his spots way more than cj did
And imma huge cj fan but dejounte is the point guard we really need or lonzo again lol
Nah that ain’t it. Murray won’t take Pel’s to the next level
@@irietropicals4255 It’ll complete that point guard role that we missing and he helps out big time that’s a big step in the right direction in my opinion .
We won’t be a contending team until we fix the center position as well . Myles Turner prototype is what we need floor spacing rim protecting center and a traditional pg is key for us !
Murray makes sense but I think Trae raises our ceiling.
This Bobby dude hating on Ingram while glazing CJ DELUSIONAL
Just a logically better option to trade BI value wise w age. Move trey Murph role up and maybe J hawk aswell.
He’s not fitting with the team
A season with no injuries would be nice, as it never happens, plus we need to resign Murphy! 🏀🇬🇧
The thunder will take him 😂
@@trillamannwinters6963you get out of here. Your thunder ain’t winning nothing anytime soon
Unfortunately they gonna turn him into a trade asset
@@nathanosaka3977 and we got them 😂
Pelicans have the best bench in NBA but a terrible starting 5. Zion ceiling still reachable. Resign Jonas, trade BI and McCollum.
Could use a stretch 5. Run him at the 4 with Jv at 5. Zion at 3. Herb running 2. Cade Cunningham doesn’t seem like a horrible option tbh. Even if he plays the bench behind a different star pg. Pels have the assets to really get just about anyone they want and still keep a star.
Because Jose is literally our most important player and CJ is the most overrated trash guy ever. Simply Starting Jose and Benching CJ Mc Chucker makes this team immediately better
JV plays MUCH better with Jose but they refuse to start Jose since garbage CJ is making all that money
I love the level of detail in these videos but I need something on the screen. Some salary visuals, trade machine screenshot, anything.
NOLA can trade Nance or Jonas V + Brandon I. for Nick Claxton and Cam Thomas.
Nets don't own their picks and could look to win now with an offense upgrade in BI. Cam provides Nola with an supplemental offensive injection off the bench that could be shielded defensly by Pelicans defense.
Pretty sure Claxton is gonna be a free agent in a few weeks right?
I’d do it as nets fan but the spacing would be horrible for NOLA
this does not help us. cam thomas is not a traditional point. he is a scorer like Brandon. Claxton is a non spacing more traditional big. This would make us worse or the same
Trade Ingram for one of the Hawks guards. Gets Zion a tablesetter, moves cj to 6th man and allows the roster to fall into place with murphy starting full time
Pelicans should make a move on Trae Young this off-season, CJ McCollum is not a point guard & Brandon Ingram isn’t a good fit with them, Jones & Murphy should be the starters they need to trade Cj & B.I this summer
Trae Young is a 2k player. Nobody who wants to win seriously is gonna trade for him. People just Google his stats and swear he's better than what he is and just ignore that he doesn't try on defense and he dominates the ball and every shot on offense
@@LonghornsLegend Trae Young & Zion Williamson Pick & Roll would be Impossible to guard, you got Zion going downhill if you don’t double it’s a bucket every time & if you don’t double Trae he is going to hit 6+ 3s
@@LonghornsLegendtrae young to New Orleans actually makes sense that’s what the pelicans are missing a point guard McCollum ain’t it at all
I wish lonzo ball was healthy he was a good fit for new orleans but thats just wishful thinking
@@SmokeNMirrors600 I'd guess they would prefer Dejounte over Trae if they had their choice. Not that they would be against it but i don't think they would be trying for him first
If they keep CJ over BI they are crazy. He's 33 making almost 40 million dollars and is obviously declining. He can't defend literally anyone. OKC attacked him and Jonas that whole series. I'd rather pay the young 26 year old about thlp enter his prime. BI had a down year but I think he can bounce back and will. Jonas was cooked all series by Chet. Get a center in the draft. They need a PG but they have one on the roster in Dyson, who is borderline elite playing defense and was a lottery pick. It's time to see what he can do.
BI and picks to ATL for Dejounte Murray and Okongwu (and Wes Matthews to get the contracts matched). Who says no??
Resign Naji, pick up GTA’s option, and see if they get Kelly Olynyk, and you’ve got a legitimate contender p much already. Cmon, Griffin…
Pelicans roster retool
1. Go big on a PG after trading BI for smaller contracts that include a Center.
2. Herbert Jones
3. Trey Murphy
4. Zion Williams
5. Nikola Vucevic
Need to give Jordan hawkins time and trey more control so the Cj/BI transition can start.
@@brandonsanders8324 Unlikely that McCullum gets moved. I forgot to add him to the thought process.
Why is Willie Green not getting some credit for this fiasco
Our players dont practice at the smoothie king center during the off season. Thats why they so awful at home. They need to own that court or find a team or coach that will...obviously this team dont like our arena , since we lost more home games then road games
That thumbnail though. Brandon needs to put down the bong.
Audio is low Bobby..
A Murray trade makes sense but I think Trae raises our ceiling. If we do deal with ATL we should try to get Okongwu too.
I feel if Hawks keep trae, Ingram will go to the Hawks for like Murray and Hunter or OO
Pelicans robbery. Murray is better than Ingram
If they keep him they need to construct his contract the way that New Orleans did with Zion and Ingram doesn't want that then they should trade him. Feel bad for CJ cuz he's just a bit too old for this roster, a rebuild is on the table &I'm thinking that might be the way to go. Malik Monk, Gary Trent Jr, Wiseman & Miles Bridges are all free agents Pelicans can try a sign &trade with any of those players teams
New Orleans needs to get a PG along with improving the bench
It’s crazy because they have a good PG and a solid bench. The need another SG and C
Cj mccullum not it wake up.. need a pg and center
Thoughts on trading CJ?
Trae young or donavon mitchell , herb, murphy, Zion & hartenstein
Not the million dollar question, but the $200 million dollar question.
BI has no grit for whatever reason. See what you could get in a trade. The Pels are stuck in the mud if they don't trade 1 or 2 of these overpaid/underperforming players.
Gotta be both. BI doesn't fit and CJ can't start anymore and won't want to come off the bench
Maybe you should play 2 weeks after suffering a bone bruise in your knee and almost tearing your acl
@@brandonuntouchableingram1660 Get real. He's never had grit. He looks like he's stoned and he plays like he's stoned. He's been an all-star once in 8 years. He's only played 65 games once.
Zion W. always hurt Willie Green might be fired
New Orleans went from the "hottest" team leading up the playoffs to being bounced in the first round xD
With the wealth of draft assets they have, they should definitely look to explore to try upgrade CJ and BI otherwise theyre never gonna be a contender
A war chest of assets
Bun of a coach
We were one the hottest teams with Zion. Without him we are toast
@@willwalker6724No we werent. Pels fans know nothing about hoops and have revisionist history. Our losing streak came when BI and more importantly JOSE was out. Zion was there during the end of season collapse
Pretty much all of our losing streaks over the last 3 years have come when Jose was out.
@@jdrmanmusiqking lmao okay
This problem with NBA there only maybe 10 guys that should get max deals. The problem is they deals go to guys that are just good not great. In league where almost evey score 20 that shouldnt get yiu max deal
CJ and Picks for dejounte
Idc what nobody say B.I need to go somewhere else and get a fresh start and just get rid Cj, JV ok but they need a better big man … A PG AND CENTER NEEDED!!
Pels need a full clean house
My guy will get paid regardless you right Bobby😂he will bounce back from this set back
i swear every tesm that loses yall eant to blow them up. instead of letting teams gel. the media pushes for all these trades then blame the players .
There's only one off-season goal that actually matters: Zion losing a few pounds. Less mass, less injuries.
LA & Phoenix obviously need to start over, but won't because they have 'superstars' they will continue to throw bad money at.
This thumbnail is hilarious idk why.. I feel like they all should be wearing bell bottoms
Trade Bradon Ingram for Malcon Brogdon + Matisse Thybulle. Ok
Can I get a spurs offseason video
Get a overseas center 25yrs-35yrs for the pelicans.
Pels trade herb Jones and bi to Pistons for stew Ivey sasser fronttechio on sign and trade the 5th pick 2030+2031 first Three seconds get pg back up pg draft capital to trade for star strength 5/4
Can we get bobby a better camera? Fan of the analysis
Trey at the 3 and Zion at 5 😂😂😂 its funny people on BI head but will accept CJ in the starting lineup next year?!? But also that you saw what trey did in the playoffs? And think thats 25 mil a year worth? Got ate up on defense, brought energy on Off but forgot how to shoot AND consistently shoots well beyond an average to above average shooter that fucks up offensive flow just as much as BI most of the time mismatched midrangers that he i cant remember if he leads the league in but definitely sure he top 3 (Durant, Derozan) in fg % from that zone but its ok cause atleast its a three!! Dont matter if you play worst defense than BI, have worst splits than BI, take worse shots than BI, cant playmake like BI, or consistently create for yourself like BI + you can take this series how you want cause he played.. but everyone knows he was legit hurt and cam back from a 2-3+ month injury in 2 1/2 weeks unlike a star player thats worth risking it all for who averaged nearly the same exact stats as BI yet didnt come back from injury 3 YEARS STRAIGHT for postseason basketball that BI led the pelicans to.
The bias is crazy in new orleans and the league as they watched BI got held, hacked and flopped against the entire series and said " get bigger like Zion who averages 4 fts a game and never shoots threes, while Sga averages 8.1 🤫 with his playstyle. Plus really deplorable for an organization that has NEVER paid the luxury tax to even attempt to build a winner so they try to scapegoat people just like AD and CP which is why they left and the team stays between being a poverty team and a mid team. Fire willie green!! and get a coach that knows x's and o's and and how to build a scheme and adjust and expose mismatches like JV vs Chet or like the Okc coach knew to put Herb in pick and rolls with whoever Cj was guarding then go to work and instrad of adjusting and putting Dyson or even hawkins/matt ryan cause cj was clearly chocking but trying to compensate knowing he had a green light and averaged 20+ shots a game while noone else averaged over 12 . COACHING.
Hate to say it, but I think BI gets traded.
BI is only 26!? 😨
Qui vous dit que les pélicans vont reporté leurs choix des Lakers A 2025
I rather have cam payne than alvarado & troy brown jr than naji marshall
We need to fire Willie Green. Dude doesn’t have any plays. He runs iso and pick n roll all game and his rotations suck.
Ring around the roses offense and force up a shot late in the clock
Listen dont blame the luxury tax this team is hot garbage...ive seen worse teams play better. Remember Dan Dickou that team was better then this one and we had 1 star back then...they had heart and determination , this team dont have it at all
Agreed, no fire except Z and little gta man
How much weed do you think Ingram smokes everyday??
CJ is old he should be coming off the bench. What happen did he hurt his hand again like last year he said he played bad with an injured hand?
I enjoy Bobby Marks takes, but man, every single video he puts out has the trashiest audio. It sounds like a little kid making their first TH-cam video.
I wish Brandon Ingram had mentally of a Zion or Antman Ingram is just nice guy we need a killer
Zion doesn’t have a mentality of noone he can’t even be disciplined enough to keep his weight down consistently. He spent half the season getting in shape, played 70 games for the only time ever and once again didn’t play a single playoff game. He a spoiled baby
Get rid of CJ. B.I. I don’t think is the problem probably a down year for him but I’d rather have him then CJ
trade for Donovan Mitchell and pick up KD😂
Harsh facts: Pelicans have been in the post-season 3 times Zion hasn’t played in 1.
OK so what are you suggesting 😅😅 crazy
They been in the post season twice, play in don’t count as post season
Harsh indeed, but it's also true that Z is the only hope for this team
Get rid of Zion, The dude is injury prone and you never know how many games he will be available for.
This dude clearly did not seen more than 10 Pels games lmao what a joke
1..2...3.. Galveston Texas😂😂😂😂😂
Bring Spida to NOLA. Labron is interesting also. Draft Mark Sears and Kyle Filipowski.
BI and CJ for Mitchell, Struss, filler be a good swap for both teams.
Zion to tge Knicks
I hope
Zion's health continues to be a problem for them. CJ should come off the bench at this point. Being a facilitator is not him. Ingram was bad this series, but from what I understand, he wasn't 100%. Maybe they could move Valanciunas? They have a very strong roster, and they can be great. They just need to move some parts and stay healthy, but that's still a problem.
Proposal Trade Firstly CJ and Secondly BI and JV. If not same story again next year.
Or Zion will just request a trade because this team will not win a championship
They need to change the name of the team ..to cresent city cowards
Pelicans already wasted 1st round Picks on :
Devonte Graham
Nickeil A. W.
Dyson Daniels
Kira Lewis
Jaxson Hayes
they have room to waste 1 more for good cause...
Draft Bronny James & Have Lebron come to New Orleans with CJ & Zion ..
Trade B.I. with Dyson, Larry or Jonas to get a good center (Joel Embiid) shooters, picks & more .. Maybe go after Mo Jonathan Issac. & Mo Wagner or Trae Young.
We lit .. All eyes in Pelicans all season
Trade Zion to Miami 🔥🔥🔥
We would love to have em. 💪🏾
For who ? u can’t have bam and him on the same team it would be undersized and no spacing
@@VellSino zion next to jimmy and bam would be so nasty!!!! 💯
@@swave4061 bam is starting to space the floor and yeah you're right cuz having 6'4 caleb martin at the 4 is much better, gtfoh what a casual 😏
I don’t think Zion would last with the Heat Culture. They would put him on a lean nutritional plan, and he won’t be down for that
100% gotta trade BI. And CJ (or bring CJ off the bench for 10-15 mins a game). I`d also trade Zion if I could get a great package for him.
Trey and b.i can't play together unfortunately
Either can B.I. and zion. Ingram is having a hard time being the second star on this team. He wants his own team
@@bradbarthold1278trade him it’s a must he need a fresh start somewhere else
