And the pelicans have sucked all season too and can't close out close games with BI leading them.
There’s been plenty of close games this season where BI was able to close out for them. You’re gonna need a guy who can create his own shot & score in the half court to pair with Zion. Pels have two with Jrue & BI and you need to deal away one of them, you stick with the younger, more effective one.

These guys are kids, they have to learn how to win first, including Zion. They’re not about to just place full responsibility on him to carry this squad and expect to reach the 8th seed.

I look at it as the Pelicans have a 27 page thread on the Coli. The Pelicans. I’m loving it lol. Hot takes and all.

Honestly would rather have a 5 page thread with Pelican fans talking about the team than a 50 page thread with nothing but hot takes and fans of bum ass teams wanting to trade their thrash for B.I or Jrue :yeshrug:

Aint no 1a 1b. BI would have to be fine with being the #2 option. The sooner they realize that the sooner they start winning again.
yes there is
it can be done
y'all just want to stick to your narratives that's all
Zion is going to need someone to be able to create their own shots and draw attention away from him when he is inevitably doubled in the 4th and is pushed out the paint
Look at the Sixers
Despite having an offense built around Embiid, they really miss Butler's closing ability even though Tobias Harris has been able to fill that role every now and then

Lmao. I feel ya bro. I just don’t mind it. We got the biggest star in the league on our team now plus three players who developed a following from the biggest fanbase in the NBA. We gotta get used to it.

Zion surprised me with those 3s in his debut and athleticism. If he was to drop like 40lbs and slide to SF that would prolong his career and make him even more deadly in my opinion. You pelicans fans got some good problems

:ohhh:

40 pounds?! Lol. Be realistic homie. If he drops 10-15 we should be thrilled.

Don't have much of a choice, now I know how O.G We Believe Golden State fans felt when Silicon Valley took their team :unimpressed:

The Pelicans problem is that there is no pecking order

It's clear that Jrue is holding Lonzo back...trade Jrue for a lottery pick & rotation player and call it a day

Lonzo should be the lead guard...BI & Zion should shoulder the scoring responsibilities

I know, I know....this makes too much sense

The rest of their season should be built on growing comfortable in their roles going forward (without Jrue)

And Jaxson hayes should be getting 20 mins each night. Their starting 5 should be gunning for 50+ wins in 2022 (Lonzo, Hart, BI, Zion & Hayes).
