You go and try to convince BI, Jonas, Hart, Herb, Graham and the rest of the guys that's out there fighting their arse off that they should be losing on purpose.

The problem - in my opinion - is the “rest of the guys” just aren’t worth anything however hard they play.

You named 5 guys and then stopped because that’s what we have. 5 nba players, including a true rising star in Ingram. Zion is 6 when healthy. The roster simply needs more and better players and we have not shown an ability to add through free agency. It’s got to happen through the draft.

If this Pelicans team ever competes for a title and not just a back end playoff slot it will be because Zion stays healthy and we draft a third star to pair with Zion and Ingram. Zion, Ingram and the rest of the guys on this roster simply won’t be a legit NBA title threat.

A top 4 pick in this draft would be massive.
