I KNEW THIS WAS COMING. I KNEW IT
Yup…..
Espn needs to stop with all the lies
The story that she cried with Zion is EXACTLY why she NEEDED TO GO!!! Zion needs A FOOT IN HIS ASS ..not TEARS …..periot
Zion is not gonna traded 🙂 Benson is supporting Zion. So i hope we trade ingram now
witherspoon was zions favorite assistant coach, she may be following him to his next team
Burn the ships. I’m ride or die on the healthy Zion potential.
Great show ! Pels need shooting !
Jake, didn’t we draft Dyson to be CJs replacement down the road? I don’t know much about Lively, but we definitely need an upgrade for rim protection over another guard imo.
Mane it's time for the big spoon to get her a team now.
If we were healthy we would of went on a deep playoff run ( I think 😅
Comment
They are trying to tear us down. We won't bow down
I am real happy that made me happy to hear he's not getting traded I'm a huge Pelican fan and a huge Zion fan I'm from New Orleans and nobody want their team to win more than me I hope Zion bi and the rest of the team have a healthy season along with some winning let's use that 14th pick for the 14th pick and get either graded dick or Jordan Hawkins and let's roll
I'm mad that they got rid of Coach teaspoon but maybe she was baby and Zion and they trying to take the pacifier out of her hand I hope they bring in a better mentor for Zion I hope somebody with some fighting and some Grit I wish coach teaspoon
If I'm David Griffin or any coach or any GM you go down with the ship of Zion is a 1 of 1 Talent that we've never seen it's either he's going to prepare your team to Great Heights and that is what he is doing right now because the Pelicans are now relevant and the arena is packed so no you do not give up on a player like Zion you go down with the ship
Would love for T-Spoon to get a college or WNBA gig. You da baddest T-Spoon!
It’s good to hear that they’re committing to Zion! Now we can move on to the next step!
If Jaxon Hayes counts against Dereck Lively, then Kira Lewis should count against Nick Smith. I would take Lively and tighten up the interior defense. The Pels need someone for Chet and Wemby.
Couldn’t agree more that id get fired riding with big z. ZION is the hill we DIE ON!
Still have a gut feeling BI is moved for scoot. A week is a LONG time in these things.
Jake do you hear what your saying? you underrate BI so much bro. zion has not done anything as well. yes they did have a 10 winning streak last season but dont forget that its not zion whos boost the teams confidence to be a good of a role player before everything falls apart. it is BI who uplift them to be who they are. i dont know what you are seeing but you really are missing the point. plus this teams has been built for zion ever since and not the other way around. Reason why BI is really getting held back. Zion cant do anything alone as well though saying that BI is borderline allstar and All NBA is nuts. bro seriously? really hoping now that BI gets traded. this pelicans does not deserve the guy.
Jake, could you do a show on the offseason of the Pels players. What improvements they're adding to their game.
Jake, Lively had to deal with some injuries in college last year that dropped his numbers down from what they should have been. Nobody wants another injury prone player. But Lively is a bit like BI when it comes to working his way back slowly. Dereck is EXCELLENT at tapping a missed shot out to an open player for 3. He's good at keeping his blocks in play. His offense improved over the course of the season, and he's athletic as hell. There is a risk drafting him of course. And Scoot could be the next Markelle Fultz. Set a reminded for three years from today and we'll see how poorly this comment aged.
Zion is a must no Zion means peps would b gone from Nola u can put $$ o that
I don’t think we need to draft a pure defense center at 14. I feel like we can get that another way cheaper than a lottery pick.
