OKC dumped their best player (Paul George), loaded up a war chest of draft picks and SGA became the face of the franchise. Look at them now. If #1 is indeed the Pelicans' Mount Everest (I view him more as Monkey Hill) let's unload the six-year failure and start anew (there is, otherwise, something in place to build upon here). Somebody will bite.
All of us have to admit to the facts. Gregg Oden, in three years averaged 35 on-court games per year. "Zion Williamson", you ask? Coming into this year (five years in), # 1 has averaged 38 games played per season (and who knows how many he will be a 'DNP - Injured' this year). Like it or not, the numbers just don't lie. Funny how one player is deemed a generational bust, while the other (playing in a comparable number of games annually) is viewed a generational talent (if not, a future League MVP). P-P-Please!!! Lord, I don't want to suffer the same fate as Portland!!!! That said, if we could somehow hoodwink the Utah Mormons into trading us Lauri Markkanen and their 2025 first round pick (they also have Cleveland's and Minnesota's) for the Duke prodigy, sign me up. It's a huge ask, but you have to start somewhere. Lauri, Bi, Missi, Herb, and Murray would be a formidable starting lineup. In reserve: 3M3, Hawk, GTA (???) CJ (???), Karlo (yes, Karlo), Boston, Antonio, JRE, and a high first round pick in this year's draft.
Bro teams even win occasionally with back up players, it’s the NBA…. The Pelicans losing multiple games, even with back ups, shows how incompetent Willie is as a head coach… apparently he’s just been winning because his star players are actually good… and I was a Willie fan… the man just isn’t a good head coach and I see that now
While Zion may have been less than a professional during his time in New Orleans, I wonder how many specialists and experts were consulted to treat with Zion's unique body type/athletic ability, combo. It was no secret coming from Duke, that Zion was a 1 of 1 athlete, so Pelicans had to know they would need all the help they could find to figure out what's the best way to keep Zion healthy.
I ain’t gonna lie atp we might as well blow this whole thing up and start over cause both franchise players can’t never be on the court at the important times of the szn plus neither player never played 70+ games in a szn as a tru pels fans this gets frustrating cause it’s the same story every year and we always wondering what could’ve been if they were healthy 😢
Gotta put as much pressure as we can on Z and have him start next year hot. Trade him after. Can't trade him RN tho. It's sad. He's embarrassing himself with these recent posts on social.
Now an article that Zion fired his agent because they failed to get him traded to NY. And he's always wanted to play for NY he told everyone before the draft he wanted to play in NY. Pels need to stop drafting players that don't want to be here.
If or when the Pelicans trade Zion you may not get the expected return everyone hopes for. Tanking for Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey is not guaranteed the top pick in the lottery Especially when you have Griffin in charge. New Orleans is not a Free Agent destination. Zion is just 24 which is crazy
Zion and Ingram don't want to be here. Fire griffin for forcing players on the team that don't want to be here. And fire Willie Green while you at it, dumbest coach I've ever seen
This guy here instead of stating the obviousness of this team he focus is on the positive..because of the Benson people. But he is selling false hope this team is trash and has been trash. I feel like half the players don't want to be here and the half that do are just mediocre at best

Even if Zion is well meaning I think it’s time for both parties, and I already know he’s gonna go crazy wherever he goes but that’s just how it is 🤷
This is sad we never got the chance to see this team at full strength this organization just have the worst of luck fr
From today forward every positive video you make im come behind you with the reality of the game. What i see unbiased
Loved seeing Will on your show.
Trade Willie for 2 industrial washer machines 👍🏾
No team is giving up that much for Willie Green
Maybe 1 regular washing machine
You going to have to throw in a second rounder to get that deal done.
👎
I really enjoyed this episode.
Go Pels!
Enjoyed it
Trade Zion for a 24 pk of Abita

Griff ain’t Sam Presti
It's time to trade Zion
I think other players are tired of doing everything right. And Zion Williamson doesn't put in any effort Zion must be traded and rebuild.
Okc had no choice, they were blackmailed into trading PG

Send Will a new mic
I really feel like it’s time to rebuild and trade Zion and build around herb and Trey
Trey is not a shot creator. His handle is not up to par.. he is a shooter
Zion just dumped his agent. Weird timing. Why?
Now an article that Zion fired his agent because they failed to get him traded to NY. And he's always wanted to play for NY he told everyone before the draft he wanted to play in NY. Pels need to stop drafting players that don't want to be here.
Don’t believe everything you read.

Fire Willie Green he's the Pelicans problem
