I’ll never forget when I was going against Zion being the number 1 pick. Ironic how accurate I turned out when everyone was on his dick in college when the actual people who were smart and watched him knew
No fellas… Ingram is a 3rd man in a champ squad. Compare him with Wiggins when won the championship. Hes not a bad player but waaaay worse compare to his asking price in a trade.
The Pels need to trade Brandon to finally escape being mediocre. If Zion gets hurt you get a better draft pick..simple. The problem is the wash and repeat minds set. Go big or don’t play.
Zion, Zeller & Daniels need to be moved. Perhaps to get Trae and Okongwu from Atlanta. I feel like Zion is always a question mark in terms of availability. Zeller adds zero spacing and is too slow as a backup 5 and Daniels still just looks lost out there.
CJ holds this team back so much, dude hunts his own shot constantly and shoots NOLA out of games. He thinks he’s a closer but he isn’t a good distributor or clutch player, and he doesn’t defer to the big guns enough.
I don’t see a market for the guy. His contract is bloated, his three point shot is terrible most of the time (1-2 good games a month), doesn’t play defense, will require a huge extension and isn’t someone you can count on in the playoffs. If he goes to Dallas the offer is Hardaway, Hardy, Gafford and Powell, and even that feels like too much. It would be a one year experiment that probably would fail. He likely ends up in the East with Philly or whoever gets knocked out in the first round.
Where it actually doesn’t fit is with CJ because either BI or Zion brings it up you need real point guard also the player who has played the worst in big games has been CJ. The only way to trade BI is with a resign they could possibly let him walk but I wouldn’t think so. Really to me the odd man out is CJ not BI games with just BI and Zion seems to have better one two punch when you add CJ that all goes away he not great ball handler nor great passer plus some games it seems he just put up bad shots because he just wants to shoot part of the bad half court plays is because of coaching not the players bad play designed for who you have
I’ve been the biggest BI guy, and idk I feel like he’s been declining since the Suns playoff series… like who’s better Khris Middleton or BI? Idk… KM shoots the 3 better BI dribbles more
People will advocate for the Pelicans to choose Zion over Brandon Ingram despite the fact that Brandon Ingram has been available for the team the last 3 years and Zion has not.
The obvious solution is to move CJ and Zion.
Move on from Brandon and watch the team fall apart. That’s what the Pelicans deserve at this point.
I’d say trade Zion and some picks for Joel Embiid. if the Sixers go out early this season which it looks like they might just do that then Embiid might want out or the organization may want change
CJ and BI for Trae Young and Clint Capella would be awesome. Trae Young, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, and Clint Capella. Have Jordan Hawkins, Dyson Daniels, and Jonas come off the bench.
Wouldn’t give up on him just yet. He’s having one of his worst seasons and still not fully recovered. Don’t act like what we are seeing rn is what he can do. Doesn’t look like him and Zion fit together for now but a new good coach and better roster construction can do wonders. And Zion has a part of this as well he’s one of the most difficult stars to pair with because you have to have very specific needs for the other four positions. The thing with me is we can trade Bi that’s fine but are you gonna get a better player? Cuz Dejounte Murray or Trae Young won’t cut it
If the cavaliers retain Donovan Mitchell they should make a move for Ingram. The only thing Cleveland is missing is a small forward that can create his own shots and score… Cleveland would be scary with Ingram

I wonder what Zion’s trade value actually is
There are definitely some team execs out there who would never trade for him
I’ll never forget when I was going against Zion being the number 1 pick. Ironic how accurate I turned out when everyone was on his dick in college when the actual people who were smart and watched him knew
Zion is signed for the long term lol

I still can’t believe they choose pelicans for their team name. I just can’t take a team seriously called the pelicans for some reason.

Yap yap yap yap
BI is a Net
All the stuff going on and this is the bullshit you came up with 😂
BI took a big step back this year and doesn’t even play in 2/3’s of his teams games… he’s not a winner
David Griffin should be fired!
If Zion played like a power forward then it wouldn’t be a problem

Trade Ingram for a top center that can shoot 3's or playmaker pg
NO sends Ingram & McCollum to ATL for Trae Young & Clint Capela. Who is saying no???
I’d say trade Zion and some picks for Joel Embiid. if the Sixers go out early this season which it looks like they might just do that then Embiid might want out or the organization may want change
Ingram and first to Cleveland for Donovan Mitchel if Cleveland has a bad playoffs
Brandon Ingram to the Bulls. Calling it now
Future Pelicans legend Tim Hardaway JR. Future Mavericks star, Brandon Ingram. Make it happen!
giddy hayward and our 12th pick can it get us ingram?
Dude said “Trey Jones” 😂

I'm a massive Pels fan and I love Ingram but he can be inconsistent and when he plays bad, the Pels lose
We got the mainstream to talk about pels vs OKc, dub for humanity
lol 2 months of good play in 4 years and people still believe in him that is crazy
FVV has made an all star game more recently than BI.
U forgot pels need to get rid of the coach
As a pels fan i agree
2 months outta 5 years of frustration & disappointment….
I'm just wary of going all in on Zion.
Yes their season is over they are going to get swept by okc
If OKC could somehow get their hands on Ingram that would be a match made in heaven where B.I could really thrive on

I’d love BI on the Kings 🙌 Monte needs to make it happen
I think CJ more of the problem and tradable then bi CJ is 2 inconsistent period
Nola needs a stretch big , Not capela
Kevin Huerter or Harrison Barnes + 3 firsts makes sense for both the Kings and the Pelicans.
