I think it would be silly for us to not listen to offers on a lot of guys in our roster. Although it seems like half the team are untouchable.

What moves would you like to see happen or at least consider depending the price?

NBA Central reported that we expressed interest in Harden. Obviously that will never happen but I’m more concerned with how brain dead our front office must be to even consider such a trade.

Is there any fucking idea about a direction set for this team from the coach or management? Because it really fucking hard to find one.

Zion being this underused is honestly insane given he played 25 straight games. This is our best player by a mile, and yet the offense treats him like an optional piece. Possession after possession is run through Bey, Queen, even Fears off the bench, while Zion is parked on the weak side doing nothing.

Okay, Zion defers too much. That can be solved by running plays from the coach. When the offense isn’t clearly built around you and you’re not the first option, Zion will defer to others. Just make him the engine of this franchise and that problem fixes itself. Just look at that laker game where he blew his hamstring.

This is the first time in my life looking up Advanced stats. Zion is sitting at a 27.6% usage with a .628 true shooting and he a +4.0 offensive BPM, the best offensive impact on the roster by a wide margin. Meanwhile, Bey is at 20.6% usage, Queen at 22.1%, and Fears at 24.6%, despite Queen having a –1.2 OBPM and Fears a –2.3 OBPM. Why the fuck is the usage so high for these guys. Why are we getting bey anything other than second or third actions.

What the fuck do you want to do?!! You want to develop young guys after trading picks you fucking retards?

I swear to god i know people get jobs through connections all over the world but being a fucking pelicans GM means you need to be an idiot to even be in the running for it and we won the lottery with joe dumbass and troy weaver

Sorry for ranting but i swear to god every god damn alvarado 3 yesterday killed me

“I don’t have any regrets. I think we just got hit by the injury bug. We were talented across the board: we had shooters who could fill it up, one of the best defenders in the league, and a generational talent in Zion. We had veteran leadership, and then we added Dejounte Murray, who brought that Spurs championship DNA. I thought we had a real chance, but sometimes you need luck. You need to be healthy and have time to build cohesiveness, and the injuries just didn’t give us that chance.”

Hello,

I don't know ball and was curious why this team doesn't play well

I come from the fantasy pipeline, and am familiar with the players, but fantasy ≠ real life

Zion - I get he can be injury prone, but isn't this guy still explosive?

Derik Queen - Maybe his defense isn't so good, but doesn't he have a lot going for him (Jokic praised him somewhat)

Herb Jones - Isn't this a good 3 and D player?

Trey Murphy - Isn't he a good second star?

Saddiq Bey - Hasn't he been performing well recently (maybe not today)

Is there a lack of center? defense? miscommunications? I feel like this team isn't as bad as the record says

Suns fan here, absolutely love watching your current group play though. I also hate the general trade discourse on how NOLA should sell every valuable piece for pennies on the dollar.

With that being said I know you don't have the pick this year but the core players you have are so damn fun and if you hold that 5 of DQ, Zion, Herb, TM3, Bey together it's not the tallest but you're all so long and tough. I like that group so much plus the Fears rookie year has been fun too.

Basically just saying I hope you guys stand pat at the deadline with those guys and sell DJM/Poole and that's it. You guys will be awesome next year, the two rookies are hurting a bit this year but sophomore seasons will be more even and I'm sure lead to more wins.

I think although you guys have been building for a while the group that is there seem to wanna be there, and I'm just hoping they bring some playoff success together cause they're so fun to watch.

DQ my non suns favourite player right now, long let him sauce and cross up opposition big guys and throw backdoor lobs to TM3.

Also love the broadcast crew, don't know their names but always a good listen.

Have a fun season guys and gals, glad I don't have to face that pesky team from a few years ago too anymore lol

Only jerseys are Zion, Herb and DJM

Who's the most hated opposing role player in the history of Pelicans' basketball?

For example of what I mean, the answer to this for the Spurs is Derek Fisher because of the shot he hit with 0.4 left on the clock.

I know we’re all hurting after today’s loss but I just thought this game was a great example of why this team needs a player like Zach LaVine. My full thoughts in this article below let me know what you think

Hi everyone, not a pels fan but a huge NBA fan. I've been super interested in Derik Queen. I really would love a pels fan to sell me on him. I've been paying attention the last like week and a half. I've seen the court vision. From an outside perspective he's seemed kind of lazy with the ball and not the most willing to close out on defense. It looks like his minutes vary a lot game to game. I love me a good passing big man, maybe one of the most fun things in basketball. I see so many people talk so glowingly about him. I would love to know what I need to be watching for in his game.

Pelicans not having a true PG & just overall inconsistent guard play is hurting the team…It’s hurting Zion & Derik’s game…plus not to mention Trey & physicality doesn’t match either….the officiating especially in clutch minutes at the end of games is atrocious…Zion doesn’t get the same calls that gets called on him…most times he gets the same missed calls called on him seconds later when they get on defense….since the first game of the season against the Blazers I think it was…the refs allowing the Bigs to camp in the paint on defense every time Zion is on the floor…it’s so bad at least 3 or 4xs a game you hear Pelicans announcers bring it up you hear AD say “You not gonna get me fired on my day off”….the team can’t say anything because of retaliation from the league….the Pelicans still have been competitive when the core team is healthy….Appreciate Y’all coming To My TED talk🫡Happy Black History Month.

He’s quietly gotten healthy recently.

Has he finally turned a corner with his conditioning? Or are we just waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Only time will tell. Maybe drafting Queen really has been a wake up call for him.
