Am I wrong for thinking Fears and Queen are just average players?

I would try to trade them as well as anyone else. It’s crazy to say but it’s been so obvious that the guy who has been playing the hardest this year is Zion Williamson. That’s where we are, how we managed to fall through the concrete basement floor into the depths of hell. Stack as many picks as you possibly can and for frick sake fire every member of the front office, coaching staff and Gayle can frick off right with them. When teams get THIS bad, the league really should have an obligation to step in through some form. Until the detonation takes place though I want to see every aspect of this team run though Zion and I want to tell him to take at least 4 attempts a game from 3 to sharpen that shot because there is definitely potential with it just like his improved stroke at the line.

I very much HOPE you are wrong. I may even think you’re wrong. Heaven help us if they’re just average.
But before we blow it all up and start trading people, can we at least try sitting DJM and seeing this results in something closer to what we saw in the four game streak—three of which DJM missed?

As of right now there is no reason to label them as anything other than average. In their defense, they are only in their second year and have time to grow their game. I think Fears has a change to be pretty good and Queen I'm not sold on him being anything other than a decent player. Hopefully I'm wrong. Certainly not worth the trade, but that's a different discussion.

Have you not watched the Pelicans for the past seven years? We've ran the offense and *tried* to build around him for seven years. He gets paid 42 million dollars a year to play half the games and he's simply just a 22ppg player. Nothing more. I don't know how fans can keep believing he is the guy. Until we trade Zion, we will never be anything of significance or even a playoff team. Ever. Him, Trey, herb, DJ and Poole have to go. Until you completely blow it up we are not going to do anything.
If you trade Fear and Queen and keep Zion you're going to continue to try and build around Zion. Which is just incredibly dumb. If you trade Zion, you're not going to focus drafting around Fears and Queen because they are not good enough to do that and you might actually get a fresh start.

I’m with you. I don’t see all stars. I see fine rotation players that’ll probably be in the league a while but they are not worth building a team around

I don't think either has played very many games right?

I think they are above average. Fears without Murray did well. Was dishing out and rebounding. Queen easily could get a triple double. Was actually a better defender this year than I expected. The thing is both of these guys look like they give up as rest of the team when they are down. You need to find someone who can bring the intensity and lean on it.

Queen has some very unique skills but I don’t know that they translate to winning.

What we needed to do was find shooters and we just refuse to.
Fears nor queen fix that problem, although both will be solid players.
Zion isn't even the problem. He's literally a 22/5/3 shooting 62/50/78 - albeit the 3pt shooting is low volume. With 2.5 stocks and decent defense.
We just keep adding mismatch talent.

They are very average at best, but are also the only hope fans have to see better days ahead.
For the perennial “Pels are winning 45 games” crowd, to admit Fears and Queen are anything less than future all stars means another lost decade ahead.

They both played a ton of games last year. Pretty sure Fears played all 82. He looks slightly better this year but he still can’t shoot and as a small guard that’s an enormous problem

Queen’s best bet is to slim way down and be a 4. He simply isn’t big enough to be a 5 on a winning team.

Couldn’t agree more. And in a lot of ways that’s the saddest part. Zion appears finally to have matured, gotten himself into solid condition, and ready to positively contribute to winning and we simply have a dysfunctional mess around him. And, as we have found out, he’s simply not a generational player that can carry a team. Zion finally appears to have gotten it, and it just doesn’t matter in any meaningful way.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve given Zion a ton of shite. Deservedly so but he’s been busting his arse this season and looks like the only guy on the team that gives a shite. I’d like him to rebound more but that’s pretty much my only complaint with him this season. However it took way too long for him to get his shite together and now it makes no sense to keep him and build around him.

A couple of career role players. Can’t believe we wasted 2 1st rounders on Queen

I think at best they’re core pieces for a team that still needs a #1. Don’t see them as the faces of the franchise
