re: Zion still a centerpiece?

Posted by Mad Scientist26 on 5/21/26 at 10:52 am to
I don’t understand why Zion is the centerpiece. He’s never healthy and they’ve built numerous teams around him and barely won.

Also, what’s the point of spending all that draft capital on Queen if you keep Zion? Queen plays the same position and is better in today’s game than Zion.

You’re literally talking about the Pelicans for the past decade lol.

I guarantee that pick would be in the top 5 had we not had Queen this year.
Guys is best to assume the worse with the Pels. That way you will avoid getting let down. The chances are that they are going to make the wrong decision.

And that’s why they aren’t going to hire him!

re: Billy Donovan is available

I would love Donovan but let’s all be honest with each other. It makes to much sense!!
Yall might fight me for this but I think Bey has taken Herb’s starting spot in Dumar’s eyes. I’m not saying that I agree with it but it sounds like it’s going to be Murray, Trey, Bey, Zion, and another C (I’m not sure who) starting next year.
Extending Zion is so smart… it’s retarded! Pels life
He never even thanked the organization when he left like most players with class do. He didn’t even send a Twitter message at the time before he wanted to hop on LeBron’s bandwagon. Frick him.

You know they should do a tribute video of him in street clothes on the bench or him leaving to goto the locker room early before halftime.
Hah I’m sorry but hiring Avery Johnson would be the most Pelicans thing this offseason. It’s so Pelicans… it’s retarded!!
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t he become an expiring contract after this season? If so, isn’t that an asset for NBA trades?
Who’s gonna tell him that the Poole trade and Bey “signing” is the same thing?!?!

That’s funny!!! And probably true lol
Dejounte is the absolute perfect mentor for Fears! I would like to apologize because I was unfamiliar with his game.
This is hilarious by the Pelicans. However, I don’t know who I don’t like the most between the Pels organization and Screamin A Smith.

I think that Zion is playing this injury up to push his way out of New Orleans, and follow Bove to the Philadelphia Flyers. He’s pushing for a new skate deal from Nike.


Man I hope so! Hopefully, we can get a first round pick or two for him.

I think people need to have patience with the rookies. They are hitting a rookie wall like what most rookies do. They have never played this many games nor at this level before. It will take a toll on you. Give them time. Queen is going to be alright !

re: Pels vs Warriors

I say kill two birds with one stone. Play the vets (Poole, Murray, Herb, and Zion) enough to push the pick up to about 8ish and push up their trade value. Then we can start the rebuild with maybe Fears, Trey, Bey, Missi, and Queen as the starters with a first round pick, Peavy, McGowens, and Karlo off the bench. I’d take my lumps with that roster.

I doubt they do that tho!
I think the part that gets me about this team is that the roster has no direction and doesn’t fit. We seem to be catering to the older team core with Zion, Trey, and Herb but also have a new core of Queen and Fears.

Honestly, this needs to cut bait with Zion and Herb and get what you can for a rebuild. Also, Trey should be had for a Bane package. But I have no clue what Dumars is thinking.
Yeah I’ve accepted it already. I’m just ready to get it out the way.
I don’t care about billionaire problems.
