    Might be a good thing to let him walk instead of taking on some longer term bad salary in exchange for BI.
    It worked out for the Clippers 😂

    Unfortunately you might consider a new GM before making trades because we have not maximized trade value for our largest assets. With that said, outside of Missi & Herb nobody is off limits. Maybe try to keep Murray & Murphy too but the goal is to build a winning team and we don't have that right now. With a proper rebuild we might be able too though so we really need to maximize the trades we do make.

    If possible, get rid of CJ and Zion. Trey, Herb, Brandon, Brandon, Yves, and Jose are untouchable. Get Elfrid Payton back on a 2 year deal next season. Get rid of Griffin, and I'm 50/50 on Willie Green

    Trade Willie Cj. Zion or ingrm. Pray for Flagg.. Willie is a asst. Nothing more, he suck he's confused he dont know no schemes and plays he just wanna pick and roll and freelance
    Street ball.

    I’m a Celtics fan but have a soft spot for Zion. I was expecting the Pelicans to have a competitive team this year. I realized they were thin at the 5 spot and needed to depend on guys with injures issues. On paper this roster has some real talent, I initially like the Dejounte Murray trade. And what is the deal with Zion? Dude just doesn’t think he needs to accountable for anything ?

    Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake. Imma part of team Tear This Down Now! Full rebuild means 5yrs of being bad as opposed to being what we've bn the past 5yrs or the 5 before that?…. What are we missing out on? Let's hold on to Dejounte, Herb & Trey and start over from there. We need to build wit players who have heart and grit. BI is NOT that guy and Z has an asterisk by his name erry game

    I’m in the camp of trading Zion, BI, and CJ. Get at least one borderline all star player for one of them, some depth pieces, and picks. Then Draft your franchise player in this draft.
