The Pelicans Have

- A generational talent waiting to be drafted by the Pels
- An All Star caliber veteran ready to set the culture for the team
- 2 "All Star Lotto Scratch Offs" in Ingram and Ball
- An embarrassment of riches in present and future draft capital
- No bad contracts that aren't expiring
- An impressive and expanding organizational staff
- A supportive but not meddlesome owner
This team is set up to build a dynasty around Zion.
Just remember that as you go about trade machining and scouting draft picks. We no longer have zero margin for error and need to find or fall into the perfect roster move. So if they draft someone you don't like or trade for someone you don't like, or keep one of these players you don't like, just give it a chance before melting. This team should be playing the long game and those moves don't often give the immediate gratification we love to see here.

Yeah it’s weird to be in a position of strength. Hopefully the organization proves to be competent.

we also have a defense-dominated team with an offensive coach

I’m just hopeful that Gentry is moved to the front office after a year.
I do think we have a lot of potential for a team that’s killer in the open floor

I know you mentioned Ingram, but it’s important to emphasize that we have a SF with a pulse

oh i agree i was just being slightly humorous. i wasn't complaining. gentry probably is a great guy for zion, ball, and ingram
if we get hunter or culver that's another good defensive wing
i really wish we could do ball/4 for lavine/7 and draft white
jrue/white
lavine/hart
ingram
zion
x
or a similar deal for myles turner would be even better (i just haven't heard this is really an option or i'd put it #1)

Ball, #4, #39 and solo for turner. I’d love that. Go after D Lo and if we miss out then sign one Rubio/ Payton to non long term contracts and fill the rest of the roster with 3 and D role players

I’d prefer a team that values #4 or#6, so we keep one, and send the other out to get a good player in return.
Send Ball to Phoenix.
Send Ball to Phoenix.

Wouldn’t mind that but I think turner at 18 for next 4 years is great value. He has the potential to be top 5 center. And it would shed the solo contract. But yeah keeping 4 and getting 6 and taking hunter and white would be pretty amazing. Could sign another center in FA

It's important to remember that the team as we know it this year won't be the team we make our championship push with. But it will be a ton of fun.
