They said the same thing about the Spurs with 3 PGs (Castle, Harper, and Fox). But they play them a lot, and it creates a lot of mismatches. The Thunder play a bunch of small guards together as well. We could keep 2 of Morant, Murray, and Fears on the court at all times.

No matter what we need guard depth and Poole is just a wasted contract. If we can ship out Poole and Hawkins, and turn them into Morant. I think it's a gamble worth taking..

Can’t play two PGs who can’t shoot

I tend to agree that they don't fit, but Fears still has 3 ball potential. Morant is a better finisher inside, floater and passer.

I think the ship has sailed on building a bonafide championship team after Zion ended up being a bust, D Griff made a shite load of mistakes, and Dumars made a desperate trade for Queen last year....

However, I believe we could still be a fun team, with their own exciting style. Zion and Queen as 2 bigs that can handle and initiate offense. (Especially Queen w his passing-he can throw lobs to Z, Ja, Trey and Missi). 2 dynamic guards. Usually at least 1 will be hot. Watch out if both are hot. Morant and Zion AAU synergy and fun fast break offense. They also might light a spark under one another and compete w one another to reach their potential.

Trey Murphy as a 3 baller and another fast break finisher. Herb Jones as a lockdown defender and corner 3 specialist. Missi as a shot blocker and lob catcher off the bench. Seddiq Bey as another 3 and D shooter that can get hot and create his own shot in a pinch.

Replace Hawkins w a healthier shooting upgrade. Find another flamethrower movement type shooter in the 2nd Rd even if the rest of his game has holes. Continue developing Micah P.

We could be fun. We could be competitive. We could be scrappy. And in the best case scenario where Zion and Morant push either to be great and DQ and Fears develop into what we think they can be, we might have a chance to do something special in a year where Shai/Wemby have injury problems.

The Pelicans are allowed to add height, defense, and 3 point shooting to the team.

Ja should be nowhere near this team. I know 65 games played for awards is a new rule, but Ja has hit that mark once ( same as Zion) in his career. His rookie season.

He played a total of 79 regular season games in the last 3 seasons. He also makes over 40 million a year.

I wouldn’t give up Murray for Morant.

I would do Poole, Hawk and 2 2nds though. That’s about it
