    Did you know that the pelicans could have had a roster with Dyson Daniels, Nickiel Alexander Walker, and Herb Jones?

    As a Hawks fan the Benson family is the only thing keeping us from ALSO being a poverty franchise.

    You guys are not wrong about the draft pick on Pels but as a fan at some point you have to stop rebuilding and put the cards on the table I like trying over not trying #longtimefan

    Geez Adam, “it gets late early out here”, not it gets dark early. It’s a famous Yogi quote

    The NOP have to Trade Zion & Poole by the Trade Deadline!!! And, eventually Murray/Trey/Herb if They choose to do a Full Rebuild!!!

  11. @thehighvibe5528

    Joe Dumars giving up their 26 pick unprotected is the real crime here…. zion chases strippers so he is a lost cause prolly

  12. @shaft9000

    As if Willie Green was supposed to win anyways – as if it's his job to babysit a #1 pick to keep him from eating his paycheck for 4+ years….the hubris.

  13. @larrylindgren9484

    Fire the coach because it's his fault the roster is horrible. Put any coach you want there they are a 25-win team. The top on this team is one of the worst in the NBA. They are horrible at running the team. You know there is almost not talent and this year you are losing 55+ games, yet you trade an unprotected 1st round pick next year. Wow. Someone who has never seen an NBA game would do something that stupid. No wonder this team has been bad seemly forever. Trade 2 firsts really to draft a guy that was going to be there anyway. That's worse. Queen was 3 first round picks. Even if he turns into a HoF player it is still a bad trade in what you gave up at the time because you didn't have to.

  14. @TheGoldeagle99

    Of all the teams mentioned the Grizzlies and Clippers have enough talent on their roster to make a play-in tournament push or get on a small winning streak. There is hope for them. Not so much the Pelicans, Mavs and Kings.

  16. @HOFFA-c7e

    IF ANYONE THINK WILLIE GREEN WASN'T A PROBLEM, YOU MUST NOT BE A PELICANS FAN. WILLIE COULDN'T EVEN COME UP WITH PLAYS, BAD PLAYER ROTATION, DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE HIS PERSONNEL. HE NEVER EVEN SPENTBTIME WITH HIS PLAYERS OUTSIDE OF BASKETBALL IN HIS 5 YEARS. WILLIE WENT ON NUMEROUS 10 GAME LOSING STREAKS. WILLIE NEVER HAD A 4TH QUARTER COMEBACK IN 5 YEARS. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON…. STATE FACTS BEFORE YOU REPLY TO ME..😂😂😂😂.. GEAUX PELS.

  19. @SaharaKnows

    They gonna be shocked when the realize the coach wasn’t the problem. They paying for a franchise player when they don’t have one. Zion is just a guy.

    Anyone thinking that Willie wasn’t a huge problem isn’t a Pelicans fan, and doesn’t know anything about the team. He’s been a terrible coach for years. Insane rotations, no play-calling, no offense, Pels NEVER respond when getting hit in the mouth literally or figuratively, and the second half meltdowns have been CONSTANT. The year we won 49 games we had ZERO wins when trailing going into the fourth quarter. He’s NOT a good coach!

    That being said, they waited too long and now this season is lost. They’d need to go 45-25 the rest of the way to even sniff the playoffs. Just means the Queen trade was that much more idiotic. No matter what Queen becomes, it will always be a nightmare trade because they overpaid unnecessarily.

    Queen and Fears look like they’re the real deal. Trey, Herb, and Missi are all signed for the next 3 years, too. Looney & Poole are sunk costs. These morons f’d the ‘26 draft but that’s in the past now, it is what it is. IMO if Zion can rebuild value, send him to Brooklyn, MPJ to Detroit, and get back Tobias Harris’s expiring + ANY picks they can.

    Our future is now to target the ‘27-‘28 season. The FO (and us, the fans) are gonna just have to take the embarrassing L of this season + draft, and be realistic about the future.
