What seed do y'all think this starting lineup would finish in the 2021-2022 season?

1) Kyle Lowry
2) Bledsoe/Lewis/NAW
3) BI
4) Zion
5) Adams/Hayes

I'd probably give them a 7 or 8 seed IF injuries are kept to a minimum
Considering that he is the franchise player, an important season for Zion is an important offseason for the entire team. When you have a generational talent that leaves, the program suffers for years. Example Magic when Shaq left, Cleveland when Lebron left (both times) and OKC when KD left
Definitely some serious potential this offseason. I have high hopes, but it could definitely be a disaster again
Over the past ten years, the Pelicans/Hornets have lost two superstars, Chris Paul and Anthony Davis, for the same reason. The team was not able to build a supporting cast around the superstar and they left in search of a better market.

This is the final year of Zion's rookie contract. If I'm Zion, and the Pelicans fail to bring in additional talent and/or make the playoffs, I'm looking at the careers of CP3 and AD and getting my arse out of town.

If he does that (which honestly, who could blame him) then that will be the third superstar in 11 years to leave New Orleans because they could not win a championship because of a lack in supporting talent.

If that happens, then that's it. It's over.

Who the hell would want to come to NOLA after seeing three superstars leave the program for the same reason? If the team loses Zion, we might as well just pack up and move to Seattle. There's no point in rebuilding.

David Griffin, for the love of God, save this franchise. Thank you.
Perhaps, but I think if your give the medium-tier LSU QB'S like Etling and Mettenberger one more target in the passing attack, who has the equal amount of opportunities to make catches as the top two receivers, regarless of that receiver's talent, then who knows what would happen.
The difference maker this year compared to even those natty years was the success at tight end. I was just implying that a passing attack of three versatile receivers is the winning formula, compared to two
From Cody Worsham on "Hey Fightin' Podcast" Sometime in August

LSU has been known for dynamic duos in their receiving cores (OBJ/Landry being the most notable). But once is a blue moon, LSU has a receiver TRIO that shares the majority of completions. Since 2000, LSU has had three separate seasons with a receiving trio where each receiver has at least 500 yards on the season. Those years were arguably the three best years in Tiger Football, until this year, since 2000:

- 2003 (Won Natty)Clayton, Henderson, Green
- 2006 (Won Sugar bowl)Doucet, Davis, Bowe
- 2007 (Won Natty)Doucet, Lafell, Byrd


Going into this year, everyone knew we had a lethal trio in Chase, Jefferson, and Marshall. All we needed is a QB that could get it to them. Here's what they all currently have:

Chase: 1,559 yards
Jefferson: 1,434
Marshall: 625 yards

So there you have it. LSU receiving trios = unstoppable air raid extravaganza. Obviously we've been gifted with 3 incredible receivers in this year's trio (and Joey), but I would say that a system focusing on three targets rather than two, regardless of the skill level, is the winning formula.
