Every one of those observations are basically accurate.
However, the real problem is the Pelicans should have built a team to succeed without Zion.
Zion has pretty much only existed for his 1st 4 seasons as taking up cap space. We are relying on what appears to be a generational injury bust to save the day and the guy is extremely unreliable.
Move on and plan that he is gone in the next season when he sits with some mysterious ailment in his out of shape body again in Year 5.

I just look at it like this. In 2019 we had Zion gifted to us, the 4th overall pick, jrue holiday, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo ball, Josh hart, near complete cap flexibility and a lot of future draft capital.

100% of people would have said then that four straight losing seasons would be a failure.

We are staring at our fourth straight losing season. Our roster is better today than 2019, but not demonstrably. Zion Ingram Holiday to Zion Ingram CJ as a big three is a push. The depth is better, but no one we’ve added since 2019 is a real difference maker. And time is just about no longer on our side.
