It is time for the Pelicans to go ahead and begin a rebuild of sorts they have AD locked up and other than him the rest of the players are talented but either injury prone or ill fits its time for them to blow the team up along with the Grizzlies and Nets these 3 teams are in Need of a rebuild.

So what is your first move

Mines it to see if I can ship Jrue Holiday off to Utah or to the for Exum or a pick.

Gordon Holiday and Tyreke cant all be on the squad together. I think they should keep Tyreke and just find a shooter who doesnt need the ball for the other guard spot. The Pelicans have major talent but it isnt cohesive and they need to work on getting it right before they end up losing two or three years of AD's prime up just treading water.

Breh why would they trade a former all star for an unproven rookie that's coming off of an ACL tear?

Why not just wait till Gordon's contract run out at the end of the year and use that money to make moves?

Because Holiday is injury prone and taking a flyer on exum or a 1st rd pick may actually lead them to a better spot...Jrue is a former allstar but it looks like he won't return to that level...Im not sure if they should just let EG walk its not like an upgrade via free agency will be available.

get rid of Tyreke Evans first and foremost. dude is the dumbest player in the NBA.

Tyreke has single handily lost at least 15-20 games for them within the last two seasons.

he's their second best player and this is such an idiotic comment. they finally starting competing in games once he got back and he helped them a lot last year.
