here stupid questions you get stup AR is that like Shambala and Arata the book is that what you’re talking about there you go I you’re a big fat liar know what I was talking about man all right anyway let’s get into it man P should be in one of them books back though it is it’s one of them BR right there the one right over my shoulder right there matter of fact brother all right piston set to high trasan langon is a new president of basketball Ops pretty much what it is is it is the S they hiring him to be what David Griffin is to the Pelicans and is so they putting him there so Pistons are planning to hire general manager Tran langon as a franchise new president of the basketball operations and sides of beginning to work on the deal expected to be completed soon and that was said as of Thursday that was yesterday Adrian wowski dropped this Pistons owner Tommy Tom Tom goris is hiring langon with sweeping power to make changes to the organization and set a course for the franchise future future after a League worst 14 victories in several consecutive years in the draft lottery the Pistons ran a lengthy search which included a few people including uh Billy King and whatever but langon was the guy that they decided on uh picking up now he comes armed with the Sterling draft and Personnel record in five years under Griffin with you know with the Pelicans three seasons under sha Marx as a general manager with the Brooklyn Nets the Pelicans and Nets were considered to have had outstanding drafts with Lon as a part of their organization selecting Jared Allen kis Levert Zion Williamson Trey Murphy herb Jones as a pretty impressive and others pretty nice resume of players langon will have the opportunity to sit down with pistons gimm Troy Weaver and Coach Monty Williams and discuss how they can work together the Pistons had the League’s worst record 14- 68 last season have the fifth pick in June’s draft got a bunch of decisions to make langon 48 was an All-American at Duke and 11th overall pick in the 99 draft with the Cav spent three years with the Cavs before embarking on the decorated Euroleague career that included two championships a Euroleague final four MVP and being selected to the league’s All decade team in 2010 he also has hell of a resume in terms of being a a recruiter of international Talent he’s worked on he had a pretty good reputation of doing that picking International Talent as well so uh congratulations man let me give a shout out to traon and congratulate that brother for finally getting and let that be something of an inspiration to all our family members out there if first you don’t succeed you try and try again until you get away from the octopus right so shout out on that and I’mma turn it over to Lex and DC your thoughts on Mr langon no longer upell and he’s going on to Detroit Lex what do you think about that um I’m happy for him uh I think um obviously this is something that he wanted right so um he finally got it it took some time three years exactly so um you know just happy for him I think now now that uh he’s in obviously a upgraded role um he’s able to do as he pleases without having someone else above him super a superior to interfere with his job I think he dealt with a lot of that with the Pelicans obviously um because uh I’ll use just um Kyra Lewis as an example that was not tran Lan’s pick for those of you all who don’t know I mean we’ve talked about that many of times that was Griff’s pick so whoever was that draft huh what you say DC didn’t say nothing Lex oh okay my bad I say nothing oh okay but yeah um that’s just an example that’s one example I’m sure there’s been other moments like we can pick we’ve gone through the draft many of times and we pointed out man why do we pick this guy over this guy why didn’t we get him well I’m pretty sure in that room that they sit in when they have their meetings and they’re discussing you know draft picks and all that stuff you know at the end of the day they went with basically whatever Griff said he was basically that determining that last say and he determined the outcome if that pick was going to be chosen I don’t think it was specifically just Tran and the rest of the team that is delegated that was hired to do that job um but I I think I think that’s the biggest reason why he wanted to leave he wanted to empower himself I don’t know if you all noticed but with this organization um there’s different areas of this organization uh job titles that aren’t empowered they’re not empowered not with Griff I think uh Griff has some PTSD as far as with the Cavs because we know that L GM was was doing his job you know so with him I think he’s at a stage in his life where he wants to try to control everything you know as much as he can and I think that’s one of the reasons why this organization is not gr as it should so I’m really happy happy for Lon um if you all remember when Lon was with the Nets before Kyrie before KD before James Harden he had that team in the playoffs it was a lot of role players they were there were no stars and those guys bald I don’t know if you all remember that Squad Tran langon had a hand a huge hand in getting those guys putting them together and everything that they accomplished they were not supposed to do nobody really gave them any leeway as far as you know making into the playoffs for one and then going as far as they did I know this one thing they did not get swept so um yeah they made it further than KB now yeah so I mean you know they they they had a really nice Squad and I I believe that now that he has gone he’s not here with the Pelicans he’s gonna go back to that he’s going to get Detroit together I I really feel that way because I’ve seen him do it before for I know I I read on social media that um a lot of people were glad that he was leaving that the Pelicans did not change anything in the five years that trun was here well there’s a reason for that people there’s a reason for that and you can’t just pin that on Tran the situation that you come into really does matter the control that you have in order to do your job the right way really does matter so you know he he’s basically left that situation and now he’s in a situation where he’s that dude who’s making all the calling all the shots obviously with the exceptions of you know on the governor you know so I’m happy for him you know I think he’s GNA do some great things with Detroit he’s going to get them uh to where they need to be at right Lex uh absolutely it got to a point where we you know we coined David Griffin the octopus we call him doc a on the show because of his micromanaging style and obviously despite the the Pelicans giving Lon an extension it didn’t prevent him or didn’t deter him from wanting to be his own man and as you can see uh on the screen right here we’re showing you the next general manager of the Pelicans his name is Bryson Graham he’s the assistant general manager and more than likely according to various reports that are un um that are unofficial they’re just going to promote this guy here to be your new general manager of the Pelicans so the gentleman here will be your new GM DC thoughts on uh Trent langon bro what do you think about that uh first and foremost I think you messed up the um the picture we should have had on there man you should have got with the production team and Tre Lang should be dressed in a Spider-Man costume cuz he finally found a way to get away from do man so congratulations to that brother um we made a lot of jokes about Tran and you know talking about his non involvement vocally where you don’t hear from him and a lot of the great things that the pals have been able to do a lot of the good things you know he’s had a huge hand and neck over here similar like Lex was saying with uh Brooklyn you know trean langon is excellent at finding Talent he seems to have a knack for finding these Wing type players like all of the wing guys we got I I know that that came from this man like you looked at Brooklyn and that’s kind of how they were other than D’Angelo Russell and Smith Den Woody it was a bunch of those wings terion Prince and all of those guys that drafted a lot of them guys you know um and we got herb we got we got Trey you know that’s obviously uh a trasan thing Jord hwk feels like kind of treas pick but we know SN had a lot to do with that but um Naji all of these guys man it just kind of fits that similar M and I think he’s excellent at finding talent and getting guys and building through the draft so Detroit definitely has somebody I think that can help them you know kind of get that program going man and the other thing I think about um I remember calling q and talking to him about it how does this look for what we’re trying to do how does Tran Lon value Brandon England are the pals pretty much locked on doing a trade with Detroit would that be considered tampering you know if anybody knows Brandon Ingram I think it would be TR and Lang far as all of the people out there involved in Trad trade talks and Detroit was linked to us before he ever went there so that is very interesting and big feel me in on a little history as he does he talked about before and how Joe Dumar is supposed to leave from the Pistons and come here to actually actually be the VP and now we got Tre going over there to be to the VP from here ain’t that crazy how things work out man mention Williams the coach of the Pelicans is the coach of the Detroit Pistons Williams it’s the it’s the uh the new Detroit Pistons basically you know so it’s it’s it’s are we gonna have a player go over there too and that’s just would be the trifect right bro you couldn’t make this story up in the Hollywood movie Man that’s in crazy that’s crazy so Lex according to this we were talking PRI prior to the stream and Lex according to this uh development of Pistons doing their thing in terms of and of course don’t forget the scan the Stan Van Gundy connection where Stan was General Manager up there he came down he beat the Pelicans coach for a year so that’s another connection but outside of that uh a lot of these guys now I’m l is going to go up there and he’s going to flex his creative abilities and he’s going to I don’t think he fires M Williams I know that the owner told him that whatever he wants to do will’ll do it if he wants to fire Mony Williams you’ll give him the power to do that and they’ll just eat the contract that the reports that were coming out but you know we’ve seen lead I’mma lead into what you saying DC I was about to lead somewhere a you can go on okay this this is the thing we’ve seen even in the recent example X some of these teams currently who are having great success with former Pelican Executives Connelly who used to work for the Pelicans Dale dims Dale earn a nickname Dale the simp dims is now up there in Minnesota but nothing simpish about what the Minnesota Timberwolves are doing no so you know that’s kind of leading out I’m going to give you the runway on that Lex because I know you want to kind of build on that please feel free to build on the connections how these guys seem to go elsewhere and Thrive why is that the case because something is wrong with this Pelicans organization I mean we it can’t you can’t hide it anymore you got to tell the truth and let me tell you something the truth shall set you free make you free whatever the saying is the truth is coming out and the truth is definitely out with this organization there was a reason why David Stern was making decisions for this organization there’s a reason why Chris Paul left there’s a reason why Anthony uh Davis did not want to be here there’s a reason why Finch na aw um you know what I’m saying just name anybody who who you want to they’re leaving a lot of people who are leaving maybe 1% have not been successful but the percentage is higher uh of those who have been successful once they leave this organization Drew holiday I mean look at all these situations and it’s not just players it’s not just players you know there’s there’s definitely something wrong and until the Pelicans address the root of the problem it’s not going to be totally gone it’s not going to truly change the way that it needs to be and that’s the sad thing about all of this is that what’s the root of the problem what is it and you can’t you can’t pin it on the players you can’t pin it on the coaches I mean obviously the the decision as far as hiring the coaches that are here is a problem but sho I’m I’m scared that the Pelicans gonna lose bgo that’s the next shoe to drop Lex yeah bgo he’s a guy in for both of these jobs the Lakers job really really Poss connection but just like DC said with the connection with Detroit Tran’s going down there if bgo leaves you know what I’m saying again the Pelicans are in cahoots with the Cavs on trying to get uh D Mitch or Garland or Evan or Jared Allen Jared Allen right you know what I’m saying like those are the options and they’ve been they’ve been looking at those guys for a minute so it’s like no matter what this organ organization does the root of the problem problem has to be addressed it has to be addressed because it’s killing this organization it in in the in the long run it it’s almost like you know like you know you you have a lot of symptoms due to like One symptom you know what I’m saying it’s it’s it’s almost like a chain reaction you have something going on in your body and you’re focused on the Chain Reaction going out throughout your body but you’re not focused on the root in which what’s causing the Chain Reaction you’re trying to address all these other small nuances and you’re not addressing what’s what can kill everything that’s going wrong with your body if you just focused on that part and until we focus on that part it’s hard to it almost seems like the Pelicans are trying to cover up they want to continue to like we’re going to do it this way but it’s like this is not working you have to you have to change like you said BQ the system you have to change it you have to change the mentality you have to change the focus those that’s the heart you know mind over body you know what I’m saying I mean you have to change that key part that will trickle down into it that that’ll have a ripple effect and when that happens like the Pelicans organization will be in a beautiful place but that part has to happen right uh man yeah it’s kind is at this point it’s very hard to ignore I think James bgo um was very instrumental to a lot of success the Pelicans had last year and we point to one game in particular because it was a very it was a very clear difference like you watched the Pelicans prior to that six game where Willie Green missed that game the Pelicans we were asking the question you can literally go back into the show the show’s logs and we were talking about where’s this fantastic offense that they promised us the bgo offense we were asking that question because it wasn’t there then when Willie had the c19 and disappeared and then bgo took over the team against the the Mavericks that it the team looked different and different offensively speaking and everything after that we was like there it is it was a very Stern and Vivid image of the and then they kept a lot of that for the remaining of the season so it was like yeah this is what we’ve been seeing with this B like man I wish we could have that fulltime so you know DC leading into that I want you to comment on what whatx was saying too and you know add your take in It ultimately if ble does leave because that’s the next talking point the next uh story we’re going to lead into with J uh James bgo being looked at with the Lakers as well as the Cleveland Cavs that they got rid of bicker staff obviously they’re gonna have a team Reformation are they looking like uh d uh look like spider Mitchell is going to be the guy to give the $28 million deal do to and what that means is darus Garland and Jared Allen those guys are going to be up out of there and they going to find another coach to work with fighter Mitchell so let’s talk about bgo in your mind with the Pelicans and and what do you think happens moving forward well I mean I think the coaching this year was was a disaster and if I could just put my self in the place of James bgo seeing Willie you know make a lot of mistakes that I know he probably wouldn’t make right and you’re you have to be questioning man wait a minute like why the hell am I on this dude’s staff like I’m a better Coach than him you know uh you got other coaches in the press conference talking about they were scared when you were out there coaching makes no no mention of Willie Green you got other players around the league laughing at us you know coaching wise and some of the things we do and and we can’t act like this man is just oblivious to all of that um after the season is over we’re running it back with Willie Green we did secret extensions and all of this and now they got coaching jobs coming up and teams are calling inquiring about wouldn’t you leave so this is just TR and Ling 2.0 so you know James B goes is most likely if I was him I probably would take Cleveland job I think it’s uh not as much pressure as the Laker job at least they’ll give you two or three years to figure it out over there that Lakers job man that’s like a just like a damn uh conveyor belt F you get one year up you couldn’t do nothing out of here it’s always the coach fault you know but I really would hate to see him go to La but to see him go to Cleveland um I definitely be upset that be losing BOS it’s like I get it man I mean it just it doesn’t make sense to have him my thought process when we got James Burgos was that were gonna go into the the season right you see what Willie does how the team performs and if he had an epic meltdown you cut ties with Willie and you have your new coach already that you can promote from within the staff it cuts down on everybody learning something totally different it cuts down on guys getting comfortable with him I thought it was a strategic move to fix a potential mess up but you know once he walks out now you’re looking at okay who can come in here and replace him and do possibly a better job than he was able to do which I don’t think is necessarily G to tie into whatever the offensive scheme is which I like what James Rego has had with the scheme it’s now going to time so like can you have the ear of Willie and get him to listen to you or get Willie to be more impactful at holding players accountable and enforcing things and uh you know get them to kind of ah you know bring a little more testosterone to things you know what I’m saying um but it almost seems like it’s a d da and touching on what Lex said man um it’s almost like we’re cursed sometimes it’s just so many things that go on with the pals man that that that don’t make any sense I think we’re the only team in the league that damn near almost lost that team we had another we had Oklahoma over there flating our team around you know what I’m saying and didn’t want to give them back just so many weird things we had a a trade that the league actually cancelled that would have been better for us sending Chris Paul to the Lakers but instead we got uh Eric Gordon who didn’t want to be here and uh Chris Kanan and I and oh Alpa romu how how you pronounce his name wasn’t worth the [ __ ] Cino Al Ru Camino and he played his best ball he got that Al faruka get out of here because he played his best ball once he got up out of here you know what I’m saying uh it’s just so many things man we actually swing for the fences pull off a amazing trade an intelligent trade get Marcus cousins and the man gets hurt in an injury where he can’t even recover to be a semblance of himself after that it’s like man how much bad luck can you have we we we have a team with amazing name in the 70s the New Orleans Jazz it actually fits us we lose that to Utah could have actually got the name back only cost a million dollars but Tom Benson said that was too much it’s just such weird history that follows the HS man um at some point just by doing everything wrong I think we’re going to figure it out to be able to do things right because we’ve done everything probably the worst way you can do it from running an organization from being cheap to uh having Superstar players not putting the right stuff around them then now we have you know amazing level of talent and we just cannot figure out putting the coaching staff around and maybe the right one or two extra player we get all the hard stuff right and just completely get all FS at all the other stuff that would be a layup for any other team so it’s it’s frustrating it’s mindboggling but watching this team for the majority of my life it could be a lot worse than it is right now I know that ain’t saying a lot stop it but stop it DC it could be a lot Les I remember watching um the Hornets the New Orleans Hornets before they were the Pelicans and our kids you not our starting lineup was uh Tim Frasier uh wh what’s your boy uh man I can’t from we call him easy what’s the little short dude man that uh Mo that Al ewine Mo man ewine Mo uh Dante Cunningham [ __ ] like Alexa Jena and who was who was the power forward man this our starting lineup Le and I I sat there and watched this [ __ ] and I knew they was probably gonna lose but I was hoping maybe they can win tonight we shock the world so it can definitely be a lot worse I’ve seen it be a lot worse but nonetheless they say things got to get a little worse before they get better the little worse was this but this organization is already dealt with that the fan base has already dealt with that right right right some time embracing mediocrity no no I’m not embracing mediocrity no no I’m not saying I’m not saying you are I’m no I’m not gonna put that on you DC I’m saying the organization e even from the things that Willie said you know like you know they you know they didn’t uh do everything that they wanted to do but you can still find success like d it doesn’t matter what you did in regular season what matters most and this is all across the board this doesn’t matter what team you’re on what you do in the playoffs what you do in the playoffs really do holds more weight than what you did in regular season everybody needs to know that what you do in the playoffs is your credentials your notoriety how you build your legacy okay y’all hear them big words like look getting to the playoffs that’s mediocre let’s start doing something do something in the playoffs win some games get to the second round at least I mean obviously you want more than that but that look in Will’s three years of being here that regular season record means absolutely nothing say it again yeah okay it means nothing because you know what you know what the reality of the situation is they’ve been a borderline playing T they’ve been a first round exit they were a borderline playing Team twice within his three seasons his first season was his best season just like the OKC Series the first game was the best game since then what’s happened big q and DC it’s declined it’s declined Willie Green’s best season was his first season with the Pelicans that’s been his best season since then dude you’ve been ased as a basically as you made the plan but you got kicked out because you know the plan is not the playoffs made the plan this year got to the playoffs which everybody was talking about yeah we just trying to get to the playoffs that literally was what the team was trying to do just get to the playoffs and that’s it they weren’t trying to win they weren’t trying to win they just wanted to get to it dog I don’t have time for that I mean most times when somebody says yeah we trying to we trying to get in the playoffs what do you what what what’s y’all you know um interpretation of that when somebody says we’re trying to get to the playoffs what’s your interpretation I’m trying to be the first loser look my interpretation now now you made me you know how um they say uh you gotta be specific with your prayers when you talking to God you gotta be specific okay I want to get to the playoffs and win some games in the playoffs okay get to the second round we got to start doing that now because getting to the playoffs that’s exactly what they did and that’s all they did we can’t we can’t assume that our interpretation of what we want from the team is going to be there like no y’all y’all need to be more specific y’all got to the playoffs last season so so when you say get to the playoffs you need to be more specific on what you talking about so so me and you can be on the same page because apparently last season okay we weren’t on the same page we weren’t we were not but we we can’t Embrace this Medi mediocrity man at some point in time when do you ascend when do you be like man we we we try man we trying to get it we trying to get somewhere we want to accomplish something when is that gonna be the mind frame I think probably this year I don’t think so B I don’t know as how how are we gonna how are we gonna Ascend when we’re losing um our general manager before the draft also we’re probably losing the I guess our highest rank assistant you know he’s gonna be moving on we actually are I mean we’re in the process of uh like kind of regathering ourself man and um in in figuring out how we want to retool and go about things like they they they know they want to build around Zion so okay we finally figured out him and Brandon Ingram ain’t gonna work you gotta trade brand it’s a lot of things to say they want to compete next year I think next year is definitely gonna be pressure because if Willie doesn’t perform next year I don’t I don’t see how you see how you bring them back that’s not g be the case though that’s not the case the case is and and and y’all know David Griffin just like depends on who we get the trade no listen tra we knew this is nothing new we know Tran langon was gonna leave he been trying to leave this is not a surprise and like Lex Lex just admitted you know a couple of years ago the KJ uh signing I mean drafting was obviously not Langan so I mean you look at what the and and it it was very clear trer Lon was even in the league anymore I don’t know I mean that’s how think about that I think he’s still he with the Jazz isn’t he he was that’s the last place we thought but uh if I’m not mistaken I didn’t see him out there I remember he was with Toronto I don’t know he got traed to Toronto and then from Toronto he went to Utah but think about is he even in in the league we know he ain’t in rotation n he’s a a perennial backup in terms of what he doing until somebody give him an opportunity I think it was a bad move because that’s basically that’s basically what he was here yeah he with the Jazz according to this but uh but I mean all I can say is like thank you all World trucker man for your Super Chat says boys boy Nas Reed can’t miss from three yeah Nas Reed man killing it for the Timberwolves man he doing an excellent job six man it would have been amazing if we would have drafted him that yeah h i was put he came from LSU I was watching n Reed play for the Tigers when is the last time the Pelicans drafted or even signed um a two-way guy anything from LSU never maybe what uh what about the Hornets Marcus Thorton is the last LSU player I remember marus th you so funny and that and that and that was good that was a success what whatto huh come on what’s his name y’all know he went to LSU he was the vet on the got traded come on now what’s his name oh he don’t come that was that was was that was that was the T that was the tayor for the team like he had him he had him in suits and stuff that was the uh come on y remember yeah he was a he was a suit maker that wasn’t actual player that we didn’t draft him though we got him in the trade she talking about gar Temple about thank but thank you all World trucker for your Super Chat man but the way I see it is is like the Pelicans this year like obviously bgo we just showed some articles on the screen with the Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers and and I agree with DC I think cavali would probably be a better place for James bgo to build that team well I mean this team was a they they’ll be good out the gate not a far less pressure but I think like in terms of what the Pelicans going to do they’re gonna David Griffin’s gonna swing for the fences I mean he has an even quieter guy that’ll take over the general manager position and uh this Bry so wait how you get how you I don’t understand this cute how do you how do you become quieter than the guy who don’t speak he did I keep asking this Q how how does he get quieter than the M because the thing is like I said y’all got to see what we be saying about y’all thinking and I I make a lot of jokes about some of these people I really do I be joking my ass off about them but that’s the stop from crying most of the time the reality is like with the Pelicans man the Pelicans I just did a show earlier today uh with the New Orleans Saints and it’s ran by the same it’s the same leadership group if you want to call it that and the people at the top of the team don’t know about the sports that they are attached to Gail doesn’t know enough about football or basketball to be a real force in a discussion uh with the team the top executive is a guy that has the title as a basketball and football President of Operations VP he’s the president but this guy really and that’s why I was saying that if they’re serious about being a functional organization they need to change the the the architecture of how the team is made the structure of the business side of the team uh Dennis Luchia needs to be changed into a chief find he needs to be changed to a chief executive officer or a Chief Financial Officer and there needs to be another basket ball mind maybe two because I go two yeah you gotta have two because you got to have a president that knows about basketball and a vice president and another vice president you need a you need a a CO a combine of guys at the top that know about basketball on the Pelican side and football on the Saints side it’s the same thing that’s screwing a team up because you’re over relying on one person to make the correct decision not kicking away uh Swin Cash because I really think swin should actually be the vice president of the basketball operation because she’s impeccable me and DC was talking about this the other day Lex when we were did the research on swin she’s a perennial winner everywhere she went she won she’s a champion yeah she won everywhere she got Olympic medals she was uh she won championships in college she won championships in the NBA she uh she’s a perennial wi she’s ACC she accomplished championships at every level of her career she is the she is who we want to be leading this team David Griffin is a is a flimflam man he got one Championship with Cleveland and that’s because LeBron James was telling them who to pick up we know this I know this and I know this and like we catalog so much on the show about the decisions that David Griffin unmade since he been here high in Stan bang gy that was dumb no smart general manager would have pulled a man who had coached in years out of retirement to coach for the team unless it’s Phil Jackson I would take a shot on that but not no Stan B gun he ain’t do [ __ ] and then you then you didn’t fire Gentry in your F that is not something a smart VP would do and then he collects these these people no disrespect to tr langon he got smallart enough to leave up out here this other Bry probably is gon to be quieter than you can’t be a quiet general manager with a vocal VP like David Griffin because he likes to talk he likes to be seen look at me I’m the VP I’m a VP of a NBA basketball team those guys you you shouldn’t even know who they are you know who they are but you don’t see them you shouldn’t even see that guy unless he’s standing up next to the general manager when he holding the press conference and the media wants to ask him a question but he wants the job look at me look at me I want to be seen I’m David Griffin I’m the I picked that guy and that guy no man whoever the general manager is going to be it got to be a vocal a vocal dude that speaks up or he’s not going to get credit for none of the moves that the team make at all but he’ll get all of the blame and eventually if the team fails he’ll be the guy that gets fired it won’t be Griffin Griffin to lean on well you the junor manager I can fire your ass and then stick another quiet guy so I mean in the end man it has to be that’s why I’m saying because you gonna more than likely lose bgo you already left we we little treding bi is on the trade block uh people was asking meq why why why we talking so much about bi why not CJ well nobody wants CJ right now nobody wants CJ McCullum right now he’s not a hot button issue even though he had a phenomenal year shooting was at Portland right but nobody want it’s no people beating the Pelicans door down for a trade for trade for C.J McCullum making 30 plus million dollars a season as old despite the fact he shot the ball shot the lights out with the ball there’s no there’s nobody beting the door down I mean he’s still he’s maybe not I hear you D but hold I’m going somewhere I’m G give y’all the floor but I just want to say this and I’m G turn it over to y’all this is the thing I that’s why I’m expecting this to happen I’m expecting them to make a move and the move is GNA be a flashy move because it’s David Griffin he’s gonna make a flashy move is he yes that’s one thing you can’t say about the octopus that he’s going to make a splashy move now what that splashy move is one of two things I hope it’s the right one it’ll be one than you it’ll be the say again yeah say you forgetting one thing Man it don’t matter who it is they G they G they gonna Implement what’s your word you created uh just like Mickey Lumis the excuse Matrix is coming oh whoever we get it was their first year they had to get acclimated we that’s the [ __ ] we go hear next offseason the excuse very hard to contend to contend for a championship this year it’s too much turnover no no I don’t see and see that won’t work either because because even though you’re you’re not going bare bone now you you losing bi but you’re losing bi to a trade that should improve the team if you play it right you can get two positions for the cost of one you really could and even if you trade a Reserve whether it be larance or Dyson Daniels you should be able to accomplish with a trade of bi to a Cleveland or in Atlanta you should be able to accomplish two starters for the price of one point guard and Center so in both of these teams have players that the the Pelicans want David Griffin is g to swing for the fenses that’s one thing that he is you can’t I I can’t take that away from he’s a micromanager and he’s he’s wants too much credit but he’s a guy that will swing for the offenses so look for him to try to do the Trey young thing and if the Trey Young Thing falls apart look at him looking at Cleveland with Jared Allen they gonna go back to the teams they like perhaps with uh darus Garland and if they don’t work out DC start looking at DC’s narrative about Detroit where what they can get they ain’t gonna give up K Cunningham but DC likes Jaylen Durant the jayen he likes the Jaden he likes Ivory and Ivy and he likes uh Durant so I mean but anyway I’mma turn it over to y’all Lex what do you think about that’s probably the least of that’s my last trade package man that I want like that that’s probably what you can G wind up with though the organization is in a very peculiar situation because the thing is is that like we said earlier started the rebuild along with the Thunder and the t-s around basically the same time you can even throw Memphis up in there um the thing is is that you look at where we are and where the other teams are and look I know Memphis did not do well this year y’all let me tell you something Memphis is coming they about to boot somebody out all right y’all see my face they about to boot somebody out you know what I’m saying for real like they do have a nice Squad and they found some gems okay they found some gems from the G League GG he he he’s like what 68 man that dude does everything with that basketball how about our Center what’s his name that we used what’s his name um what’s his name Jon J still over there they gave him an yeah they’re gonna keep him his energy have that Xavier what Xavier tman he gone yeah I wonder why Trey jerson yeah but but look they they found in in in in when they were in despair okay they found gems during that time they were like okay this a try out who who wants to join a team who wants to join the team and and they got that they found two guys that are very promising and let me tell you something they are two dangerous guys when you put those guys next to J Triple J what’s the sniper name y’all know who I’m talking about in the in the back court Bane Bane yeah him ban yeah and you still got smart you still got D Rose he hasn’t retired he can still give you some quality minutes just not a whole lot at the same time I mean and then you got you still got a solid a solid bench those dudes are coming man I mean you know you look at this situation with the Pelicans and it’s like y’all need to if you’re gonna do something because guess what we’re not really gri is not totally locked into rebuilding this is more so retooling it’s retooling like changing the core that’s a big deal now let me get into that a little bit more what does that really mean to change the core to retool what is what what does all that stuff mean what it means is dog we do not want players we do not want you to trade players that are good in regular season okay I’mma say it again we do not want to trade for players that are good in regular season we need players that perform at a high level that have proven to perform at a high level in the playoffs if you go for the highest the highest caliber of of level of play guess what you gonna get in regular season y’all see where I’m getting at we don’t just want anybody okay now look I know trading for some some of these guys it sounds good it’s like well look if we don’t get this guy this hey getting somebody’s good is it is it I don’t know going after Garland look Garland is incredible during regular season he’s an upgrade Lex I know but I’m I’m telling you I’m again going for look I I anybody saw Trey young what he did with the Knicks dude went to the Western Conference Finals okay now a lot of people say that that was a fluke because they but they got past Sixers they got past Knicks they went up against Boston and let me tell you something they weren’t no pushovers they fought even though they didn’t have the weapons that all those other teams had they wen’t everybody was looking at them like they shouldn’t have gotten to where they were but they did you see what I’m talking about that’s that’s what this team needs if you’re retooling if you’re just trying to put somebody with Zion oh so oh we want we want him to grow with Zion no no are we retooling or are we rebuilding what are you trying to do and that’s why I keep asking that question I know that going after Garland is an upgade they roling is it is it retooling though if you adding because my my thought process is they’re looking for a point guard and a center they’ve been looking for a center all last year now there’s two team like I said there there’s two teams that they’re serious about in discussions because they’re players that they believe fits what they’re doing so this is a little different than last year the Pelicans have a group of players that they want Jared Allen is a player that I really do think that they want if they can package something where they can get darus Garland because it works out because Cleveland can’t is not going to keep darus Garland and spider Mitchell those guys can’t coincide so when they when inspirer Mitchell said he’s staying so if that’s the case Dar when did uh when did uh Donovan Mitchell say he staying because I still I heard he was still on the fence no what I now this is what I decided officially what I heard is that he likes Cleveland not not not listen you’re right he likes Cleveland a lot and a lot of people let’s just say it like this the Insiders think that he stays because and what Cleveland is doing with the the firing of JB bicker staff is an attempt to lure him in because they want him to be the leader of the team and have some insight a little higher than they want to build the team around spider Mitchell but the players like Darius Garland and Jared Allen if you listen to Cleveland press Jared Allen uh is getting a lot of flag because he didn’t play when he was hurt a lot of people didn’t like that and of course spider Mitchell and darus Garland can’t coincide there so if they decide him the other guy gotta go that works for the Pelicans if they’re serious about trade because like I said they’re trying to get two for one can we can we uh look at some trades that have happened in the past we may have to think about that because I would love to have darus gar and Jared Allen but for dice Larry Nance Ingram and some pcks I I don’t I don’t know if that can happen what does a guy like Jared Allen command to be removed from Cleveland because Cleveland has been dangling Jared Allen on the trading block for like the last two years man yeah you know why what exactly are they looking for are they expecting to get in a return from it he’s he’s their most consistent player he doesn’t get injured he plays a lot now he had this thing where I guess they whatever happened in playoffs you know I’m saying uh darus Garland and Brandon engam contracts match up uh the trade thing I know you like Trey Lex but I’m not even really sure if Atlanta is really trading them or like all of that still vague I mean they be looking to move the Jon Murray in the number one pick to get a superstar what what I’m doing what in terms of the what I’m looking at with the team what I’m hearing I’ve been researching it behind Atlanta and Cleveland because it seems like the most likely places where if the the Pelicans are serious about contending and getting team to the next level darus Garin and Jared Allen makes sense and Trey young or maybe not Clint capella maybe the back Center I can’t pronounce a Aang those guys now the Pelicans have interest in both those guys but from what I’m hearing from Atlanta side they’re not going to trade both of them it’s gonna either be one or the other either it’s going to be Trey gets traded or it’ll be the jontay Murray that gets traded that’s what I’m hearing right but if if like which direction are they really going in because the thing with Atlanta I wouldn’t mind getting Trey young but it’s obviously gonna take pretty much a similar package just to get Trey young um to make the money match I don’t think we get coming back with Clint capella and a k wo and all of that I think whatever trade we pull off Trey young is just to get Trey young you’re gonna have to pay I guess pretty much what you’re thinking you would pay to get darus Garland and Jared Allen um CU Trey young I don’t know man I guess it’s you got the bitten Wars with the other teams you got these two guys I’m sure other teams want them I hear some teams say they’re high on darus Garland which I think is kind of crazy when you think about it if you’re a team that’s ready to win now because Trey young is like he’ have been on all NBA teams this dude dropped what 50 points in a conference uh champ with that what wasn’t he in uh Eastern Conference RS yeah like a 50 point game you know so that’s it’s a little crazy either one of them I don’t think you can go wrong Lex um but I understand obviously getting Trey would be a bigger upgrade now but I think with Darius Garland it would be a better move for the future and you would actually have a stable core that’s set up for the next probably five years or so I think you probably could maintain Trey herb darus Garland and Zion and whatever Center um you run across far as a younger guy but with Trey I guess you you could say a similar thing too but I think he’s uh I don’t know man it’s kind of a gamble with him in my opinion I don’t I don’t I’m not sure how that that parent with Zion works I hear Trey’s father say he’s cool with being the second best player He’s just never in the NBA had a team where he was the second best player if that’s true yeah bring him over but it does Trey Trey is kind of like uh he seems like that guy man he’s got that ego like he wants to be that guy could we run into a similar situation that we had with Brandon Ingram where Trey young actually take more efficient shots when he plays on a team with better players because we know he could hit them 50 Footers and stuff but he not steal we don’t need you taking three four of them a game one thing I will say is that the gravity that Zion has okay look He commands a lot of attention and not only that Trey young he has some gravity that will help Zion because you’re not I don’t care how bad of a shooter or percentage wise you think Trey young is Trey young ain’t shot hitting that three he he’s not shy he’s not going to oh let me take uh two dribbles inside and you know what I’m saying he’s not going to do that wasn’t that one thing that Brandon was doing that was hurting the team because he refused do do you wanna do you w to go from one extrem to the other though you you got a guy who took two steps to his side but a dude who take four steps back okay but Trey young has been to the Eastern Time problem though Trey young has you know he’s done he’s done more in the playoffs than Brandon right DC yeah I I’ll take I’ll take I’ll take that tradeoff yeah if it means if it mean look there’s gonna be pros and cons to every situation right but we need somebody who’s confident in taking that three-point shot we need somebody who has some type of gravity so that you know Zion can be on the end where where where um of the playmaking I don’t know if you notied a lot of times when Zion has the ball and we’ve seen this that’s why Point Zion is so effective when he has the ball his gravity is so great he’s opening up doors for his teammates like he’s like it’s open shots but guess what nobody has the gravity no none of his teammates have the gravity that Zion needs to to get easy shots he can’t get easy shots and he’s the most efficient player on the team come on now like he needs that that’s gonna help his game like like you have to have that other player I mean that’s why you have that’s why you have multiple stars on a team but Zion has been like the way that he’s able to create for for for everybody those Corner threes are going to be there I mean when you when Zion has the pass off like I don’t I don’t know all the numbers but goly do you know from behind the arc Trey um Murphy her and and CJ they had more uh three-point attempts and makes than than than Brandon did off three of them did like the thing is they were using his gravity and it was working you know what I’m saying like and let me tell you something any point guard like oh my gosh it’s like the red C just opened up I mean all this space for me to shoot this this three-point shot that dude is going to be oh snap oh goodness oh my gosh the Mavs just beat I’m sorry I was looking at the game that’s crazy but anyway um like that that that who wouldn’t want that who wouldn’t want all that space I and then not only that you got you you got you got trigger tray you got ice tray I don’t know about you but branding purposes hey that that’s a beautiful thing right there I mean ice treay and Trigger tray you know what I’m saying that they don’t have nice swing to it come on see because that that’s what I’m saying it’s like man like come on that’s what I’m saying like that’s why I was saying about David Griffin swinging for the fences because that’s what it’ll take the Electrify the Pelican base like you want to get to the next level and Trey young is not just a sharpshooter he’s also a guy that distributes the ball so you could use him in his assist game and like you said this guy is not some irky jerky shooter this guy’s one of the best shooters in the NBA not named Steph Curry this guy really does his thing beyond the three-point line and then you have him playing with Zion all the Spacey Provide Plus you mentioned Trey like Trey uh Murphy along with Trey young the two treyes out there herb Jones who turned into a 3D shooter for you it’s just shooting all over the place somebody who knows how to throw down in the post throw lobs get easy shots we haven’t been having that have y’all notice that everybody else knows how to throw lobs yeah it been it been you know I’m saying like we don’t see that we we we never see that stuff man just easy shots like this game has to stop being hard we have a point guard I mean we we operate by point point BYO committee it’s like a point point committee you handle the ball here you hand wait what we have we have we have a collection of people that make a boy point guard is that what you say it’s a point it’s a point guard concept which is it’s chaotic and you can see you see it during out the game it worked during the regular season until until you get to the fourth quarter exactly it looks good and it looks like trash during the playoffs right it looks good at times but it’s it’s a ability to kind of go over the fact that they’re lacking a point guard they’ve been lacking a a starting point guard for a while so if you can my my my thing is and I got a poll up into the chat for the family members if y’all want to check that okay I want y’all to answer that poll in the chat everybody in in in the show I want y’all to answer that poll in the chat let me know who you prefer and this is this will show the the family members here know what time it is it’s a star driven lead if you can get a Trey young if you can get a Trey young and put him with a Zion Williamson that’s must basketball you got Trey Murphy you got herb Jones who’s herb is not just a Defender you know like Trey Murphy’s not just a a sharpshooter Trey is not just a shooter anymore he’s a guy that can put the the ball on the floor and try to cram it on your head he can finish at the rim with aggression her Jones is another dude that plays defense he’s hitting his three-point he’s shot like 40 almost what 41.8% from downtown so this team is made this will be the ultimate collection of players that you to put around a guy with the massive gravity as a Zion Williamson go ahead Lex hey thank you all World Truck Super Chat too bro thank you I don’t know about y’all but I I I ain’t trying to look at no 0 and 26 or 0 and 27 in the clutch no more how about that how about that close that I’m I hey when when when when the pressure is on when the pressure is on okay let me tell you something Trey young he don’t get rattled he don’t get rattled he keeps his composure and he performs when the pressure hey did y’all see the series against the Knicks and he was wa he bowed to him he he did his bow come on now in in the Nick’s house Madison Square Garden is basketball is basketball arena right he was real comfortable there let me tell you something he took his ball yeah telling me the Pelicans can’t use that that is confidence that this team needs man to go up in Madison Square Garden and I’m talking about they fan base is on a whole another level it ain’t like the Pelicans crowd okay nothing against Pelicans fan hey hey man he he he was in they house bowing to him got to respect them wave them hey hey let me tell 0 and 26 0 27 that’s the thing of the past man Trey young in Masson Square Garden and you know what look even look they didn’t even play Atlanta okay and they started chanting I think uh against the Sixers in the Sixers they started chanting F Trey Young yep okay did y’all hear that did y’all watch the game did y’all watch that series they actually chanted that Trey young ain’t even in the Eastern he he’s not even in the playoffs in the East he was killing them and they were doing that because he left he left he left something in they brain people he left something that still stung him that was y y’all don’t know what I’m talking about do you 0 and 26 27 whichever one both of them are bad both of them are bad but I promise you it won’t be like that if we get that dude remember what he did to the Knicks in the playoffs I’m just saying I’m just saying man you want to be on what 28 29 30 take your pick none of them are good we already all 30 no look look I’m just saying man you you have a guy that that he he performs like a star he performs like a star he doesn’t get rattled you know what I’m saying I mean obviously everybody makes mistakes but goly man I mean we’ve seen Trey Young on on a on a nice stage on a big stage Bright Lights remember Brandon or CJ they didn’t perform when the lights were brightest right I mean you ready for for will Ben for bad defense what’ you say you ready for will to Ben him for bad defense cut that out that won’t happen bench him 40 million player they won there’s bad defense like CJ CJ got B bro he ain’t benching them bro 40 million a season that ain’t like CJ CJ making 33 I like I like I like Trey I like darus Garin I like both of them I’d be happy to get either one of them but just to change topics because I don’t I don’t think it’s any debate at least not here and from from from well I I still the poll look at the poll the poll is saying man y’all vote in the poll put it in the poll family all the family members listening go to the poll I can’t see it where is where is it you gotta click on the black uh the the black part and it’ll come down uh DC for DC bad with technology man man I Ain bad with no goddamn technology he bad with technology his cell his cell phone services Horizon so but the poll says who would you prefer for the Pelicans to trade for that there’s four there’s four I would have put more if they allow you but they only allow you four options I got Trey young Deonte Murray Darius Garland and DC through in j n he mentioned J Jay n should not be on that pole man he ain’t in the stratosphere those guys you just mentioned well d That’s Not Fair them DC I was D Lada in there but you know trying to do your favor you should have said uh you should have said Jared Allen or something CU a lot of people are predicting us to trade Brandon Engles straight up for Jared Allen and Carris lever I was like why the hell would the PS do that that that would be dumb as hell but you know some people um they View Brandon Ingram as a negative asset and my my thing with that is man um I know we’ve come to the conclusion that we probably need to trade him I’m one of the few people that I think could actually work with Brandon eag if we had a strong coaching staff but we don’t have that so it ain’t gonna work you know what but but hold on I’m not advocating for Brandon Ingram to say hold on let butam Trey young can run Willie Green out of here he can he can all all I was saying is this though Brandon Ingram is look y remember huh proud family the uncle I heard it sure I never watched that was like little bit after my cartoon time but Brandon Ingram is the best available win in the league right now like that people can get some people might say Paul Paul George but I’m like man at that price price and at his age I don’t really think that’s a value um or let’s say Paul George is better in other people’s eyes right Brandon engam is still the number two Best Wing that you could get 68 guy man that people be clamoring to get somebody like that you can’t just easily get a player like that that’s probably one of the hardest players to get now is a big tall Wing that could score and defend like he ain’t her Jones but Brandon does play defense so I I think we can command uh maybe possibly a Trey Trey young but it’ll be like a lot of picks we’d have to give him I think it’ probably be like three first round pick man that we probably wind up having to give up to get tra and uh with the addition of like Dice and Larry or maybe you can not give up Dice and you just give him Larry or something if you’re not getting um another player packaged in that to come back from Atlanta as well but I don’t think even the polls man if if everybody’s not um in on Trey young you gotta be in on somebody like Darius Garin but we need a perimeter score like like you said Le that can create some type of scoring gravity for Zion um Trey young is the best out there at that but I’m just on whether Atlanta would really want to move him as a p supporter obviously we would want him but thinking realistically if you’re Atlanta why in the hell would you trade Trey young why would they do that reset the team I mean Pelicans got plenty of problems already I mean sh that’s that’s that brings another question are you sure try young will want to come here I mean play with Zion yeah yeah I mean really think about it that’s the only anybody want play with Zion but then you look at our organization that we just spent the first half of the the podcast talking about we want to sign off for that you’re moving to now you ask us a question I’m asking questions man yeah that’s the selling point I’m not more than no go post I’m asking questions that’s the selling point because the thing is ain’t nobody coming here because of Willie because of his great it’s Z Williamson speaking of that has anybody ever called Willie a great coach no I always talk about how how much they love playing here and this was the best locker room they’ve ever been a part of I never heard nobody I think heard that was time I want to say I heard Lexa said one time that you know I think I think I heard her said just one time you did Le she said it one night you know he like really is a great coach I think I do remember you said that it probably was off a real good victory though you might have been high off off the victory for me look I recognize that’s blasphemy I never I never done say and I’m willing to put money I remember got I retain and muscle memory okay but no he was never a great coach he might have been a little for on you like you need to lay off a you said his first year that was his first year we were giving him a chance right I think you you know you always give people a chance and I give people a chance the thing is is like dang dude you you still in the first year and lower okay well according to the organization he got more wins l no DC I I I talked about that I talked about that listen listen I I I need you to get this Willie Green’s coaching stint with the Pelicans is a mere image of how the the Pelicans played against OKC in that first series his first year was his best year okay made it into the playoffs right one two games didn’t get swept okay since then yes in regular season he’s improved every year but the team is still a borderline playing team play in team you’re talking about 91 78 okay but more so basically 910 getting into that a spot that’s all that that’s all he’s been that and if you look at it that way look nobody looks at regular season like that yeah you win Awards and stuff like that but again where you get your credentials your notoriety how you build your legacy how people remember your name you get that from the playoffs that’s right that’s facts that’s why nobody nobody nobody thinks nothing about the Pelicans the Pelicans haven’t done nothing does anybody if you ask anybody outside of New Orleans or who’s not a Pelicans fan hey when when’s the last time uh the Pelicans uh who huh okay you want to talk about another team I’m not trying to be mean no you’re right it’s just being real like the Pelicans haven’t done anything that’s why the n Season tournament that’s why that n Season tournament was so important because this team doesn’t really have real success I’m not saying like yeah they’re small successes but you’re talking about when you’re talking about real success the real success comes from the playoffs what are you doing in the playoffs they they don’t have that they don’t have it and you just got to keep that stuff in perspective man I mean you know this organization this team has a whole lot to prove man that’s why I keep saying that’s why that’s one of the things the edge that’s why that came to me because it’s like what do you got to do you got to have the edge com being competitive is nothing without the edge you have to have something that it it’s that part you have to have that something that catapult you ahead of everybody else and they haven’t found that yet yeah you’re right Lex uh that that’s a big part of what they have to find that that Killer Instinct and like I said the biggest trade that the Pelicans can pull off in terms of getting leadership because the point guard position we talked about it like what uh Minnesota did against Denver conally meant something you know you you you can’t run from the the the leader of the team you can’t run in terms of Distributing the ball setting the table and you put a sharpshooter like young who also can pass the ball and we have Shooters around Zion that changes everything so you know like I said I think that’s what the Pelicans ultimately are trying to do they have the they have other teams that’s interested in Trey young but that’s if you ranking these things that’s got to be high on the totem pole if you trying to put Zion and Trey young together while giving up bi perhaps a Larry Nance or something like that but keeping your hands off of guys like uh uh uh Jordan Hawkins those guys after so like I said it’s going to be interesting man let me touch on these uh Pelicans notes right here you know just to go over that man with the Pelicans man uh the and also for the family members that won’t chime in we’re not going to open up the segment of the show to the fam so if you if you’ve been waiting all week to get your Pelican

out I know who that is shout out to you appreciate you listening all right and listen fam let’s hit these notes right quick uh Pelicans notes Murphy elvado valunas draft in Arena so we gonna touch on this one this is from Hoops rom.com that’s the source rookie skill extension for Trey Murphy will be one of the Pelicans offseason priorities but it will take a significant offer to make it happen this is according to Christian Clark of nola.com Clark sees a new contract for Murphy falling somewhere between four years at 94 a half million do now that’s the deal Brooklyn gave cam Johnson Last Summer and you know and the fiveyear pack Devon for sale sign with the Spurs was 135 mil and guaranteed money that’s a lot of money they gave Devon forel Murphy came off the bench in 34 of 57 games he played this season but Clark points in points uh to April matchup with golden state as evidence that he can handle a full-time starting role and that was an awesome game against Golden State boy and like I said before they’ve seen uh Curry Thompson shoot threes in that building all the time but when Trey Murphy was in there lunching them three-pointers from five feet beyond the three-point line dude they were like oh oh I said these I’m just watches clay and Steph all the time and they were just ooing haing he and and watching Trey Murphy Kill it so that was I would enjoyed the hell out one of my favorite games of last season watching him shoot the Golden State Warriors into a loss with be sideline by in injury Murphy scored 24 points and sank six three-pointers three of which were from 30 feet or longer he was feeling it that one the Pelicans reportedly plans to explore trades involving Ingram this summer creating an opportunity for Murphy to replace him in the starting lineup Clark views Murphy as a better fit alongside of Zion and Herb Jones adding that all three will be under contract longterm if M if Murphy signs an extension more from the pelicans pelicans are very likely to pick up their almost $2 million offer for Jose Alvarado this is called n Smith of sport track States in an offseason overview of the team options decisions on Jeremiah Robinson Earl at 2.2 mil Matt Ryan at 2.4 mil are less certain but Smith expects the Pelicans to keep both players unless the front office decides it needs to open a roster spot the more difficult choices Accord according to Smith are what to do with Senator jonis valunas and small Ford Naji Marshall who will be unrestricted fee free agents if they don’t agree to contracts or Extensions by late June Smith expects a one or twoyear deal for valunas if he’s brought back while Marshall seems likely to wind up elsewhere the Pelicans need to find a big man in the draft and there should be plenty of decent options when they pick at number 21 Smith adds listing Zack Edy yez Missy Dar Holmes thei and Kel we as players who could still be on the board Smith expects New Orleans to defer the first round pick that it owes for the Lakers which is supposed to be June the 1st if I’m not mistaken which is number 17 and take LA’s first round the next year instead Louisiana stadium and Exposition District voted to delay plan improvements to smooth the King Center because Gail Benson who owns the NFL Saints is delinquent on payments for upgrades to the Superdome Clark and Jeff Duncan wrote in a separate story that the ASM Global which manages the Superdome contends that the Saints are 11.5 million behind and haven’t made a payment since December the NFL team issues a statement saying that it has no problem paying the 115 million or its $41 million share of the five of the 58 million project but added we have however asked for certain documentation over an extended period we have not received this documentation the Pelicans extended their lease at the arena June of 2029 so they’ll be there for that long so by the way an update on that last item the the Saints and Pelicans did send or pay the 11 half million dollars to keep the renovations going and altogether it’s over a half a billion dollars for not only the Saints Superdome but also the New Orleans Arena so the these are some of the news notes and items that we covered here before we get in the phone line Lex DC y’all can fill in the chime in uh feel free to chiming on any one of these items we talked about I know Trey Murphy’s interested in the Jose Alvarado thing uh feel free to have yeah uh I’m pretty much on Naj Ingram G Jose out of here too um obviously I don’t think it’s because we don’t want to keep him I think the money he’s gonna command is gonna push him out but maybe they uh I guess it’s uh they’re picking up a option so that’s just for one year right Q yeah that’s what they said so we can get our Jose farewell so hopefully um and the thing with Trey Murphy man that’s pretty self-explanatory I I see him getting maybe five years25 million something like that 110 130 somewhere in that range and it’s pretty easy deal to get done like you look at uh what they they getting that that boy in Minnesota he’s a good Defender and everything but he’s like their version of herb Jones they get50 million five years I like Trey I like her but far as the future of the P if I gotta pick one or the other who y’all picking you gonna pick her or you gonna pick TR pick one in the future three years from now so it’s pretty much self-explanatory I think that’s done deal man and far as the thing with Gail man Gail need to pay them bills I don’t know what’s going on with that but we got Super Bowl coming here the Pelicans were supposed to be getting uh I think upgrades to the the training Arena and all of that right not just the Smoothie King Center well they doing the cafeteria thing because of a lot of that you know they share a lot of that they share facilities over there so they doing they gota get away from that man that’s how they operate bro they keep all the money that you give them that’s just how that’s how rich people do it that’s how they do it they yeah they rich people stay Rich because they spend other people money spend other that’s how it goes 150 something million dollars is what the Saints supposed to owe uh that they supposed to be contributing she says they need documentation like she so she’s already made several other payments from what uh seen right and she doesn’t want to pay this time because they’ve never sent over the documentation that they need to send I I don’t understand that but all these people talking about uh we need another owner get Gail up out of here she being cheap and all of that man Gail been is we were we were clamoring for her when we realized that we could lose the Saints and the Pelicans now that she’s the owner and we know she come out and say even when she passes away these teams AR going now y’all want her out of here I don’t understand people far as that but it’s it’s a documentation issue that’s causing her not to pay so what she thinks these these people are fraudulent I really don’t uh I don’t get that but I mean you know rules are rules and you’re supposed to have to follow him but it just seems a little weird so it’s it’s on uh I guess Louisiana as a state isn’t sending in the proper documentation for the go forward uh to send the money that she needs to send so they can fund the rest of the money pretty much yeah he what’s going on is that like I said they it’s a half a billion that was majority taxpayer money issued by the state uh to these buildings and the Saints were spend $150 million I want to say uh total to get these Renovations uh to add on to the renovation because it’s a private Enterprise let’s not get it twisted uh the Saints and Pelicans are private Enterprises but they’re using state funded buildings to make all this money so $150 million based on the billions of dollars the Saints pull out of there in Pelican and Saint Revenue plus all of the sweetheart Deals they get in tax incentives and the fact that they got that Benson Tower that sits right there by the building which they renovated and the state pays twice to rent they banking out man they don’t lose so I mean in the end uh they just got called out and they don’t like that’s why they moved fast to resolve the money issue because they don’t like you looking at that side of the game Focus totally on sport they don’t want you to look at the money side because when you look at the money side you see it’s a ton of bad business deals between the state and the city that people will start really questioning why don’t they pay rent on these bills and stuff like that they don’t like be they don’t like when you talk about that they really don’t so that’s the half of it but Alex you won’t chime in before we hit the hit the the the uh the callers she ain’t got nothing to say Lex I mean I’ve been talking I mean look look do better I’m just do better man I mean look just everything just needs to be better facilities these contracts you know Gail I I I feel you were what you were saying as far as with that uh DC as far as you know um know obviously Gail made it so after she dies um the teams will be stay in New Orleans but I think the biggest thing is I wouldn’t mind her you know being the governor if she just got basketball Minds okay and as you all put football minds too you know what I’m saying like she needs to have the right people you know in position to to really help the organizations and I just kind of feel like she has a bunch of men below her that are milking her and that’s what hurts her situation and that’s why we keep coming back to the ownership because you’ve hired these these these men to to run your your business to run you know the football team to run the basketball team and they’re really not doing the greatest job you need you need those Minds you know what I’m say saying like you don’t you don’t go to an engineer to help you you know to help you to teach you how to cook you want to go to a chef right not an engineer I mean do do y’all go to engineer you know what I’m saying or computer tech guy um you know what I’m saying like you got to make it make sense you want to go to a chef to help you with your cooking need this is true so it’s like you you run a basketball organization go get basketball minds and not and not men who are going to milk you for your money I just feel like they’re kind of you know taking advantage of her henceforth you know it’s not just Griff or uh Lumis dude it it it’s it’s her too because you have to you know obviously if you’re if you’re in a position of leadership well you have to take the good and the bad because that’s what leaders do you know that that’s that’s the same thing with Willie like you have to take the good with the bad because you’re in a position of leadership you know I mean same thing with Griff you’re in a position of leadership you’re going to get some blame that’s natural that’s normal so it’s all of them it’s all of them I mean and that’s why that’s why you know a lot of people like oh you know you got to look at the Players well no you also have you have to look at who’s the leader of the leader of the leader know I’m saying I mean that that that’s that’s consistent in a lot of different areas a lot of different departments and professions it’s not just basketball that’s all I got yeah but I mean it’s still ultimately on the players because like you said and you you clamoring for Trey coming here can affect the leaders of the leaders like Trey uh Trey young coming here could potentially get Willie gri Willie Green fight so you know him stuff that we already know right but when you have people that truly have a desire to be great you know like you said they shine a light on people who do not even if they’re above them or below them so long as we continue to I guess build out our organization with winning winners and a winning mentality we’ve constantly heard that gaale is willing to open up that purse baby and pay that extra money so you know we need to get the Pelicans organization in a situation where it makes sense to do so because I think Miss Benson is willing to pay the money if it makes sense you know if she if she pay the luxury tax that we get 49 wins I don’t think that’s gonna go over too well I know she a sweetheart and all that they all taking advantage of her but I think some heads would roll hey but DC even with the 49 wins like hey 49 wins if if Pelicans had 49 wins last season they would have been third in the west they would have been third so the thing is it’s like if you get 49 wins and you do well in the playoffs you see what I’m getting because see being in the third seed you’re in the playoffs you’re you’re you’re you’re in it you’re already in it you’re not fighting to get in it and I think that’s the thing like look you’re in the playoffs win some games get to the next round guess what that that makes it that makes it a whole lot like okay look this was a good situation you know what I’m saying like it be and you have to add that part in there it’s not just about having a winning season but it’s it’s it’s having a winning season and what you do in the postseason because let me tell you something nobody from from how how the Pelicans performed against OKC nobody not not once thought about oh the Pelicans were a a a top 10 defense well where was it what where where was the top 10 defense it disappeared like hell in the playoffs I tell you one thing oh oh with the pel got top 10 top 15 offense where was it you know what I’m saying like that the defense was still there they had no office well the thing is is that all that stuff is not existent nobody’s looking at that that stuff means something in regular season but from how they performed you wouldn’t you wouldn’t believe that the Pelicans just by the way what you saw against OKC that they were a top a top 10 defense and then the road stuff what about the Road Warriors yeah reputation you see that either it was like it was like none of that stuff matters and I say this all the time regular season is totally different from the postseason it’s two different breeds you can’t you can’t mix the two that’s why once regular season over regular season’s over all that stuff you know yeah that’s cool that’s why I think it’s funny when they announce the awards during the postseason you know what I’m saying because it’s like you start to see oh all right Defensive Player of the Year okay oh oh my gosh you got done you know what I’m saying it’s like is the defensive player of the year losing the game for the team on the defensive end you know what I’m saying or MVP be like okay MVP of regular season oh shoot your team is down what you gonna do dog everybody looking at you you the MVP that stuff starts being thrown in your face from regular season because if it’s not showing up in the postseason okay if you’re getting exposed and you had that title you just received that award hey man I will where your MVP yet y’all y’all y’all know how people do they do it every year they do it every year man it’s crazy how that works yeah that it worked kind of against uh sh shade this year man that’s for certain man youw that you start seeing stuff like that occur you gotta live up to it man in the regular season and like you said the bones are made man in in the postseason man and the Pelicans didn’t make anything but pissed a lot of family members off that’s for certain man all right so let’s move on man let gonna move into this side of show if you guys want to pop in the pin is uh uh is pin I mean the link is pinned to the pil chat man uh you hit that link you can get on here and talk your stuff right now the question who would you prefer uh the Pelicans to treyf for Trey young is our top person right now with 44% of the family members saying Trey and second of course is deante Murr with 36% so that’s interesting all right we got Brother Don about to come in Brother Don welcome in the Stream bro how you doing tonight hey y’all can hear me yes sir can yeah we hear you brother yeah he been trying to get on third time CH I’ve been missing y’all man I’ve been trying so hard to get on here welcome brother welcome on in my brother how you doing tonight man I’m doing good man you know just trying to trying to not to uh stress too much over the Pelicans for real for real just just just having a little I feel like we at rock bottom right now so it’s like it’s nowhere to go but up so it’s right know what you about to say DC no I just I was GM I said right know so it like man but I see the question y’all had who we who would we rather from Trey uh Deon Garin and who was the other one what just the guards shadon sharp funny no you mean cam ready was the one of the four person J J KN he is not an option who made him that’s that’s that’s horrible he put J N up there Bro Jared Allen J N is supposed to be Jared Allen no it’s darus Garland I mean Dar gar and Jared Allen spider Mitchell it’s probably well I we Ain getting him even if he don’t go to Cleveland man come he won’t make it out the second round we made it out the second round what twice in franchise history I don’t think but I ain’t gonna lie that would be interesting spider Mitchell along with it would be yeah it would be man but if he hadn’t played for Utah and and went to the playoffs and done all what he did in Utah and then went over there in Cleveland I could see it but if he leaving Cleveland after they just made it to the second round coming here that’s about as well as will’ll do unless they get rid of Willie as soon as they get get him you keep forgetting that’s what it comes down to though it’s the Zion Williamson it’s the it’s the if we was in the East I think we can make it all the way to the finals with the Zion Williamson paradig and all of that but in the west bro that ain’t enough man that ain’t enough bro that is not enough in the west man Prime LeBron is not getting you out of this West wi right now you need more than that bro why you sound like you’re in the hallway what cuz I am I got big old Cathedral Halls up in here where I’m at get away the baby yeah he I want I want if I would have to choose between those guys man well if I’m gonna put them in order so my first priority is Trey young um Trey Young a alpha on the court uh Trey young a winner on the court Trey young also a high IQ basketball player um and a good point guard uh he even though Trey youngin score he also likes to feed his teammates you dig what I’m saying and I feel as though he’s uh much of a winner and he has a high IQ enough to know like all right get Zion the ball get Zion you know what I’m saying get him some easy buckets and stuff like that so I I wouldn’t worry about him being like because DC had said earlier we could possibly run into like another Ingram could we you know what I’m saying because of the how um I guess you know ball dominant he can be sometimes but I don’t think you know they’re two different two different type of players um Trey Young’s a winner high IQ uh and then after that I’m going second I’m going was Donovan on that list yes no but well I mean in you talking about the pole yeah no he wasn’t on that my brother but I I I could probably but yeah I like Donovan but I don’t know if I like him with us uh I think I rather the J um because like point guard you dig what I’m saying I’m still thinking point guard of you know what we what we need uh and also any player that come here I need you know we need them to understand that Zion’s the guy you dig I’m saying and that first first like option is you know what I’m saying the playoff Zion you see what I’m saying so I feel like Donovan he might lose control of that uh and he’s not a point guard he more of a shooting guard so he you know I don’t I wouldn’t see him you know putting us in the better the better better positions than the jont and Trey can have us in you know what I’m saying hold on I got I gotta stop you right there you don’t think Donovan Mitchell will put us in a better position than M really Noah not for as far as the fit for what we need like like we need Murray not not a not a uh he’s not like an amazing perimeter player like that bro deante Murray take a lot of the same shots Brandon take yeah but I done think jante get triple doubles and double doubles and stuff bro he he he feeds his team he rebound and he play defense you know what I’m saying like I I seen him cook the Celtics like I I seen him do this like all all around game like and he’s more of a perer point guard than Donovan I don’t I don’t Donovan to me Donovan I don’t see him going somewhere and being the second star I mean he if he goes somewhere and and be forced in that situation yes but like if you think about Donan who he is now like you see he just he about to push gin ass out you see saying like so was like because they want to build around him because if his style and you know what I’m saying and how Z’s game isn’t in his way though man I mean he get a lot of his points from behind but now but back we back to still like who’s gonna who’s gonna calm the offense down and feed Zion and put the whole team in position that’s what point guards do and he not a point guard you see what I’m saying we still need that people that can control the game a little bit slow it down get everybody in I agree but I mean if you got a chance to get Donovan Mitchell man that’s like saying you got a chance to get a a top 10 top 15 player right now I’m not passing that up for nothing I’m I’m find point guard some type Brandon Jen comments on uh Donovan uh yeah I thought he was full of crap lie I I didn’t fully hear it right but yeah I kind of I kind of see what he talking about like I don’t really see Donovan as a lot of people see him as such Elite player I just don’t you know what I’m saying like like Elite to me Elite to me bro it’s not just about scoring and [ __ ] like that it’s about your your will to find a way to win the game and affect your whole team so to me Trey young is more Elite than Donovan you see what I’m saying a guy that can affect his whole team in every almost lot in all aspects you dig what I’m saying like he can affect his whole team Donovan think about his teams that he been they’ve been pretty good but they don’t go to the next level why cuz cuz he in the he was in the west all that time and he did a lot he not gonna get past Boston none of them [ __ ] bro he not he not he wouldn’t even get past the heat if they got some Stars over there nobody getting past the heat by my brother of Fame for scor and never have a chip or none of that that’s what he’s gonna do he’s not no Elite player to me he’s a great score I think that’s how I feel and and it’s and and and really like if you look at his resume kind of Valor days that I mean what has he really truly done did he make he might might have made one Conference Finals I don’t think did he though did he make one confence final uh I think they got past uh didn’t they get past the Nuggets that year that the Lakers um went I know um no uh they they didn’t they they got put out by the Nuggets short yeah but it was it was it went it went to seven games yeah but the best next best player on the team was Rudy go man Rudy go was his running M bro that was his next best player like wi they just went seven games with the Orlando Magic too I mean I I get that I can’t really nothing you can say about that but magic magic they they a no team you just throw away we couldn’t beat the magic at allic huh magic swep the pelic you just a manh people serious my thing is we know our issue our our issue is is the coaching and [ __ ] like that so that’s a lot of reason why they they swept us you know what I’m saying and also the misfit of be and all that but the we’re not g to use excuse for the uh Cavs they they got they had everything and Donan is supposed to be this Elite player but n I don’t think the Cs got everything they got hes they don’t they don’t have a true small forward to be honest they got they got some pieces need to do need to do the magic so you know so why do you think they want to move um if if Donovan signs with them why they would want to move Garland and Jared Allen and they’ve even brought Moy into thect because because because uh uh um Donovan has this or like a like a he has like a a superstar Aura a little bit you see what I’m saying so it’s like you look at his game like you like damn like a [ __ ] he he he a dog like yeah he like he turning up so you look at that like yeah we got we gota go for with him you see what I’m saying when Garin is like he more so probably gota he gotta play with a a guy guy that can you know what I’m saying fit fit with him you know what I’m saying like or that he can fit with like Donovan can control they feel they feel like he can control the whole thing more than um Garin you know what I’m saying so that’s why they will move him I and I don’t think gin I mean gin not no I mean he not Elite so I mean so so we definitely don’t want Garland right I don’t want say definitely because God and Mike can fit good with Z look we don’t need we don’t need I’m not I don’t think what I would like for us to have another a great Superstar like Trey young with Zion but I don’t think we need a great Superstar we need a guy that has gravity G gin does have gravity uh and he’s also smart and he fits with Zion you see what I’m saying so it’s a great fit you know um you don’t you don’t need all these superstars on the team together it’s as long as it feel like we we seen Zion with just Trey young Trey I mean Trey Murphy and them we was number one in the West for a little bit with just Trey Murphy and the guys we had and Z was running that so we see how good we can be with Zion running the [ __ ] show yeah I think Dar is dar g a little bit better fit if you looking at it from that perspective because he plays a lot better off ball too than Trey he’s not B he don’t have to be ball dominant and and he’s a better Defender than Trey I think you can get pretty good defense out of him too but like Lex but like Lex said though we we need that playoff pedigree though you hear me we need that we need he a winner he a winner all that [ __ ] gonna go out the window all that defense all that that [ __ ] go out the window when Trey trying to with Trey come to play Let’s fure out the window he gonna find a way to win he gonna get Zion whatever he gotta do if it’s a game Trey hog in the ball he gonna go in that film room he gonna talk to z z we gonna get you involved a lot more this game he that type of leader he the type of winner can you can you ask me a question man like Trey is a true point but who has Trey made a allar most true awesome point guards I know they help create another allar I think Clint capella didn’t he make it one what else with the Rockets no no yeah I mean with the Rockets I think I don’t remember being allar in Atlanta I could be wrong yeah you might have been you know what I’m saying like so he can’t make somebody allar who was already allar but but the thing is we only like like the thing is man that’s a small s he only been with the Hawks so we will have to wait and see you know what I’m saying we can go based on what we what we already have been saying and we feel like he’s a guy that gets his whole team involved I mean that’s what that’s what he was doing when he you know through his time being with the hawk he do his thing but he gotta do his thing but he also get his teammates involved at the same time you know what I’m saying he mix it up double doubles he L the league in assist before and all that I like I like Trey I’ll be happy to get him but my thing is a lot of a lot of his assist when I go look at him is like he he stat stuffing it a little bit you know what I mean but but um like actually elevating the level of players around him I ain’t really seen that that much which I don’t think we really need that so I don’t think that’s a issue but but just imagine this DC I ain’t gonna lie DC this a this this try to this Envision a playoff game man I don’t give a [ __ ] who we going against and Trey young Zion in the fourth quarter playing off each other and Trey young throw a lob Des Zion Trey young looking at the crowd like this our [ __ ] this our house like this just imagine that bro I I I all already see the victories that we can create with that with that duo man I see just like Trey young like man we in the a Trey gonna bring that [ __ ] man we in the n i I see it man but I’m not trying to Hitch my hitch my wagon to just one person because I know the P’s organization and I’m struggling to believe that they they can pull this off that’s why I’m like I’m like hey Darius G I think we can get that one we could do that if they get Trey I’d be happy you know what I mean but Trey I I think I’m hearing all the stuff like oh people don’t really want Trey you’re hearing all that [ __ ] right now but when it come the season is really over I think Trey is gonna be the number one guy out there on the market man he the number one guy if they if they really moving him I don’t know what Atlanta doing man it’s if if it’s de jonte Murray or darus G Dar all day but if we get to Jon Murray I’m not mad at that either because of the value far as what he make MoneyWise and what else we could do with team and we do have a true point guard so it’s like we got a few situations where I don’t think the PS could lose now if they go all the way out the box and go to Orlando or some [ __ ] like that oh going to Detroit bro come on say last last thing I’m you you book it you heard here with that Detroit was bro I don’t know I think that might happen I don’t want it to happen but I think that’s what it might be we got treas Landing over that David Griffin talking to he a master in Communications hey last I’m stay he a little handshake type dude oh my bad go ahead brother I’m Sor yeah I’m G goad get all here but yeah man I just hope um we make the the best decision um and and I think that might happen that that’s a big possibility that that pance because treas and Lane and be probably W be over there and we probably end up getting jayen and Jaylen Durant I don’t mind that if that’s what happen that’s what happen we got to make some damn move it don’t even matter at this point I just want to see us get better improve um I hope Willie gets fired that’s but um other than that I think bgo might go to the p and everything so but anyway so yeah that’s all I gotta say man but I hope we make the right decisions man so so yeah man appreciate y’all though thank you Don man appreciate you my brother you be safe out there my brother and I appreciate you trying man to pop back in brother I know we had some issues yeah download I downloaded the app I used to go through the there yeah there you go app appreciate you brother right man much love brother appreciate you peace all right that’s Brother Don always keeping it real man but but this is the thing these we pinpointed this and a lot of this is out there we had to prioritize these deals I mean because that’s what the Pelicans are looking at they attempted to trade with the Atlanta Hawks during the season and they got a little greedy they wanted herb Jones in the deal and the Pelicans said no but I mean if you look at it most people from the flock they want a splash signing and I know DC I know DC what you’re saying but I’m saying at the end of the day if you put Trey young and Zion together with not just Zion and Trey but it’s that collection of people that do two different things really good at two different areas of the floor and then there then they have all this space and you have Shooters along with Trey with herb and and Trey Murphy and of course the Pelicans are going to get the center they want whe you know whoever it is stop right there got stop it right there next question let me finish let me finish before you start wait hold up because you talking about the shooters and all this for Atlanta to really do that don’t you think they would want one of Trey Murphy or her Jones if that’s what it take if that’s what it take if that’s what it take to get Trey young and you can have him with maybe just one or two other picks are you doing it we not we not Brandon’s on a big contract right we’re not giving up we’re not giving up trade we’re not giving up Trey Murphy we’re not giving up herb Jones and we not we’re not giving up Jordan Hawkins we’re not giving up none of these young make more than Brandon I think he make like 43 I just just did a trade man with okay the P that the Pelicans are not using that are depreciating by holding on to them give those bad boys up because you ain’t doing nothing with him no way and then you have Dyson you know what I’m saying he’s a nice young player he’s a defensive they need defense say from the perspective from the perspective of Atlanta and what they want yeah I understand you know what they want no we’re not giving that up so they just they gonna give up they gonna give up Trey Young for bi and that’s that you’re gonna add a center with it you’re not gonna go you’re not gonna get bi for the Pelicans are going to attempt to try to get like I said they’re G to try to flip bi into two starters and they could depending on who they give up now this trade here I got them doing I got them giving the center that they wanted they wanted the backup center for the Hawks and the why why are the hwks doing all of this for us giving them well what I’m saying is at the end of the day first round draft picks but contract speak when you can look aty there with like a Rudy go and and you know now he’s not KD but like just those type of Trades we looked at uh Donovan Mitchell and you know like he’s kind of in that realm a little bit with them guys so far as what they would want for compensation for him we got we gota be realistic it ain’t like they just gonna give us trillion they’re not g for Larry and Larry Dice and three full picks we willing to give up three full first to get try hell they got they got 100 first round picks that the people loaded with first round I’m just saying like the price it ain’t gonna be cheap to get I mean how do you know I mean because it seem like everybody else been getting deals Dallas got a deal with Gafford young young why Utah give up um or why did t-wolves take that deal why did they give that up it’s like every as far the t- Wolves were you I mean I know they gave up five first round picks to get R so why did they do that I mean we can ask all these wi no no no I’m saying I’m saying we are we GNA do that or you can look at that’s all I’m saying you we willing to get him at at any cost or like you know I mean are we willing to get anybody else at any cost I mean like like what do what are the Pelicans trying to do DC tripping what I’m asking questions man I’m just I’m just asking questions because I don’t think I don’t think we just getting tra for Larry a couple of picks and in in bi like I don’t Dyson I don’t think it’s that easy that’s all three team trades too DC I mean it doesn’t have to just be between two teams there there’s ways around this there’s there’s the cash uh considerations all that stuff there’s a whole bunch of situations where they look if they if if the the Celtics can trade head coaches to the Clippers okay I mean we we can put trade I think we you know what I’m together and trade them but if if if Atlanta wants what they want you know what they the People Want it her so if they adamant about them getting herb look we’ll give you Trey you give us herb bi whatever we and we give you Trey and uh uh whatever they did to match the salaries are we still doing it or would y’all still want that to happen they if you that was for deante that was for deante being on the table and so they want they wanted they wanted they wanted her for deante now they giving us what’s a better player than Deon and they don’t want her they’re not gonna give up herb Jones or Trey Murphy or Jordan Hawkins in my opinion to land Trey young well we might we might have to start considering other options possibly that’s all I’m saying that my whole point on on bringing out all the other stuff darus ging looking at other people because I think the price to get Trey Young is gonna be pretty steep if they if they’re trying to trade Trey young okay if they’re trying to and they had the number one uh pick right yeah yes yeah okay so if they trade him clearly they’re not in a retooling mode okay they’re more so in a rebuild okay CU if you have the number one draft pick a lot of times you’re building around who you’re you know what I’m saying you’re drafting the number one pick to build around right that’s usually what that means okay there may be other situations but nine times out of 10 when you’re drafting a number one draft pick that is a perennial piece that you are trying to build around that means it’s like well Trey young you know because right now Trey young is that dude on the team and if you’re trying to build around a player a lot of times they’re going to move like whoever the team was you know when they were there they usually move that person so I mean what I’m saying is getting somebody like herb you know what I’m saying because obviously you’re not you’re not trying you’re not in a win Now situation that that that that doesn’t even make sense herb is a stellar Defender he’s a stud Defender what are you going to do with this dude what are you going to do with a a Defender like that who is who is ready to contend who’s in the position to contend I mean I think you have to think about their situation they’re probably gonna a lot of times they want to get young pieces yep okay that’s why I kept I keep saying Dyson because Dyson is basically a poor man’s version of herb right and plus he’s young the shooting he he he’s young and then the pics those things Youth and pics have value act a lot of times they hold more value than an actual player unless you’re trying to win now and if they have the number one pick and they want to get the number one pick and they want to build around that number one pick then they don’t mind their their mentality is totally different from a team that’s trying to win now the Pelicans are trying to win now we’ve already had the rebuild we we trying to hang with the Joneses right now like uh the likes of the t-wolves and the Thunder they they ahead of schedule yeah you gota you gota you definitely got to speed it up and you got to make a Splash move that makes you they’re already behind are behind they’re delayed everything about from from making these moves from holding on to these pcks for too long uh basically the value of those pcks has have appreciated because of the moves that the Lakers and the Bucks aggressively we’re trying to what that’s trying to win yep that’s trying to win yeah they’ve been deprecia the value of those pics have been depreciating because the Lakers and the Bucks have aggressively been trying to win they have not been idle we cannot rely on that no more that so like look be proactive and and make a move make a move use those picks put them put him up in the package uh Dyson Daniels is there you got EJ Liddell uh what’s his name ain’t gonna play him no way you got sebron he they ain’t gonna play him no way yeah get give him all this Youth and and Lex the Pelicans have done they they do diligence to help the Lakers make sure out those Laker picks that we own are not any good anyway by keep losing to the damn Lakers exactly I mean it’s like it’s like you know you have to you got to do something and and the thing is is like to just continue like right now we’re sitting here right everything that’s been happening with the Pelicans it’s been subtraction and it hasn’t been subtraction to addition it’s just been subtraction uh they just let go of Zion Williamson’s uh a trainer they just let her go trun is gone bgo he’s close to leaving yep you see like like where where where’s the subtraction uh to addition or the addition part like we’re we’re not right now like we’ve been talking like something we knew that before the postseason something needed to be done this team has been so delayed and so far behind it’s like you all are sitting twiddling your thumbs you know what I’m saying just doing nothing it’s like hurry up and wait what are you waiting for because while while the Pelicans have been waiting the Lakers are aggressively getting getting trying to get better you know and that’s one thing I can apply of the Lakers at least they trying at least they trying like they they may not be making the right moves but they trying to get something done they trying to do something they may not be doing it right but at least they’re trying they’re trying to stay relevant and they’re trying to win because they they that’s the what type of organization man I wish the Pelicans would have just a smidget of that yeah that the the the JB bicker staff firing by Cleveland really is interesting because this is guy that was actually getting him to win and he looked like he was buing he won more he’s won more games than Willie yep and he’s only been for what two years y compared to Willie’s three they put him in he been dealing he’s been dealing with injuries and he’s a and my I JB bicker staff is a better a better head coach than Willie he is he is Frank Bogle I’ll take Phoenix after one year that won more game well same amount of games and had a higher seating than Willie they put him in the street so I mean you got guys out there head coach wise that are more experienced and and better better head coaches currently than Willie Green but the Pelicans feel like they got their man we kind of stuck with them but yes I I do think the Pelicans the smart move smart money move would probably would definitely be a dejonte Murray no doubt about it but I think the Hawks according to what they’re putting out they’re not gon to trade both these guys young and and Mur uh Murray they’re gonna de what they’re gonna see what they can get for one versus the other and looks like they’re they’re really looking and aent wowski said that they’re looking to really is real really move Trey young for an asset that can bring him back that can help the team uh move forward along with the first round draft pick of whoever they do keep so they do have a process to see what what’s the better trade they can get for either one of these guys and Cleveland’s an interesting thing as well so we’ll we’ll just have to monitor it to see man but yeah both of those teams have players that the Pelicans want and we’re salivating over whether it’s Jared Allen or or Darius Garland or Atlanta with the with Trey young or the backup center either one they like these players a lot so we’ll see what kind of stuff that they got going on we got uh some more callers about the chime in we got DJ uh from state of pelicans and we got 2K Nola we’re gonna bring these bring the fellas on in you’re all welcome on to the stream tonight how y’all do y what up what up how you doing I’m Chillin I’m Chillin that’s what’s up how y’all doing how y’all doing though good good Chris uh how how you feeling tonight bro what you think about uh some of the rumors circulating around some of the players we discussed tonight uh of course Trey young we talked about darus Garland we talked about dejonte Murray we talked about spyer Mitchell uh what do you think about some of these uh potential trade candidates for the Pelicans Brandon Ingram um first first on my end I I called it last time I chatted with y’all that um your boy Treon was going to go and a lot of people undermining the impact of what that’s going to have on the team so I think C because when he was coming out before he was hired he was the highest start after person as a GM outside of the OKC dude and for good reason he know what he doing so now it’s like the people we got coming in it’s like you don’t know how they’re going to draft you don’t know who they value as players you don’t know how they talent and I think that’s going to hurt the pelic a little bit cuz it’s like 5050 they either going to do it right or they going to do it wrong and we going to go up or down and now people wanting all these big players to come in and save the team but you going to need to get somebody in here that know what they doing like I think I think Donovan Mitchell would be the most suitable guy for this team because you need somebody that could take over and close games in the fort and he one of those guys you could put the ball in his hand and not be nervous about it you know really Shifty um he move around he don’t just sit in the corner so he’s one of those guys that you really want on your team yeah drop a couple 50 balls on you real quick and having somebody like that on side of Zion is dangerous you know you want somebody like a splash player like a step like I don’t think Trey young is gonna be it I really don’t have faith in that type of player for this team I don’t think that’s going to move the needle for us at all I think people going to see that and just see defensive liability if it was Kyrie I’d have been like cool but Trey young I don’t trust it like I I think I think that I think the biggest splash we’ll be able to get is Donovan Mitchell and we’ll have to go all in and do it you know like I give up I would give up anything because the the Pelicans have a lot of one-dimensional players on the team we got a lot of people that can score can’t defend you got a lot of people and then then cor is not even like big scoring I think the scoring is like 10 points 12 points it’s not we’re not going to really be get we got a lot of one-dimensional players they to defend can’t score because score can’t defend or you got people that rebound but can’t protect the rim like we gota we got to have those complete players on the team and I think the Pelicans should look to you know move as some of the guys you know you don’t got to you don’t got to gut the whole team but I think Donovan Mitchell is the guy we should go after and if not go go bigger than that if you could go go big like when you trying to move Brandon Ingram it’s just how do people value Brandon Ingram on the market right now if that’s going to be who you trading because this new GM might do something totally left that we don’t suspect you know I I don’t know not about that bro uh even though we got a new gym we still got the same old VP uh shout out to you Sean appreciate the true uh GM too everybody makes that mistake even mainstream media thinks the GM they do shout out R Castro this Ain this ain’t even big news TR L Trey B Dyson Daniels Larry Nance uh valer tuners after we resign them we’ll get Trey young Clint capella this will financially work yonas are piics this should work thank you appreciate you Sean for the Super Chat brother so they said they said we getting yonas back I thought yonas was out I thought saying he saying sign make him a sign for Atlanta but last last I heard from inside okay Sig TR just gonna look to sign with a new team whatever new team you want to be with you can you can get them guys to do sign and trades a lot of time like Lonzo ball wanted to leave and we he wanted to go to the Bulls he went where he wanted we kind of facilitated it in a trade you know um his contract was pretty much about to be up so I I think you do the same thing with Jonas but I don’t that is that what Atlanta want does jonis want to go to Atlanta would be the question yeah they paying them I guess why why would Jonas do us that favor though why not just why not I got I got I got I got B 45 million reasons you know that’s about how much money he made over here they paid him when nobody else wanted to you know yeah got him up out of Memphis they give him a good role until this year which was crazy but um I don’t think Jonas hates us but I damn sure don’t think he won’t come back no actually loves being he he actually want to be here in New Orleans Willie not not Willie did yeah I know well that that’s what I’m saying I’m separating the two right I mean yeah Willie ain’t really with the Pelicans for real I mean we saw that in the clutch and his decision making and his adjustments right helping out the other team you know what I’m saying uh but I mean yeah I mean that’s the biggest thing it’s like dude you don’t know how to use me you don’t know my game you don’t know yeah you don’t you don’t you you’re not even trying to utilize me you quit on me you know what I’m saying like like when when you when things were working when I’m in the game you go away from me you don’t start me in the second half you know it’s whether he’s balling or not it’s the same treatment yeah I mean it’s that that hurts players man when you do that to to a player all because you like like how long does it take to to know your player Personnel on average what y’all think depends on new coach if you’re a new coach probably like I give it about 20 games okay it’s been three years I rest my Cas you’re yeah I give it about 20 games to know exactly who you got and if but Willie Willie Green situation he I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna get rid of him because he improved every year and not our season is undermined it’s just we won 49 games that was that would have been a really good record last year last season a lot of teams improved in the west and our season this team is not a bad team we in a bad situation now now with Tre leaving and yonas leaving because it’s like everybody’s trade package I seen is banking on if yonas will give us ass signing trade because Ingram value then went down a little bit like I according to who 2K NOLA who who how did engram’s value go down according to who because you got you gotta think about it um the the way Ingram plays is slow it’s really really slow and you got a lot of teams playing with a lot of speed and seeing the way that Ingram played in the playoffs have being that guy like a lot of teams not not checking for Ingram especially if Donovan gonna be on the board like what what other teams need a need a Brandon Ingram right now you just got you could name probably two two or three any team who don’t have a a perimeter Wing a premier Wing I think would be willing to take them but do they have what we want I can name some teams that like Utah you know what I’m saying why why wouldn’t they want them I’m sure Miami would want them Philly know Cleveland how how do youate Brandon Ingram being the prize in any deal you gonna be like no no no no that’s that’s that’s not that’s not what I’m saying I’m just saying there’s teams I’m sure that want them uh they they got a lot of people saying he’s more coveted than um than um Trey young I don’t know how true that is but that’s some of the news is saying he taller play he play he taller he play a little more defense now you know he he can actually score Trey young is gonna cost you 40 something you know I don’t know how much Brandon Ingram gonna cost you but seven million less and then BBI want the uh he want the max so that’s 50 million Trey young is actually cheaper any anybody’s gonna give him that that Max though that’s crazy I think they will Le I mean we look at a guy like look at Jay jayen Brown got 370 million or three what is it 310 or 370 who did you say got 300 something million are you seeing what he’s doing in the playoffs I don’t care jayen Brown you take him off that team my eyes don’t lie you take him off that team and you put him somewhere else I don’t see him doing all they got a good team but he’s carrying he’s been carrying a team over Tatum and Tatum is the dude Jay Brown on this team any day over I get that but I’m not I don’t want jayen LeBron 300 something million that’s all I don’t think he a300 million player I don’t see that I don’t see that he’s a good player he’s out there Bing plus not only that he’s been with the team he’s been available not only that they’ve gone to the Eastern Conference Finals like three years in a row I mean you know I mean not three years in a row they’ve been there every single longer than that but I mean we not gonna act like they not the East the East kind of top heavy they got like two two three teams and that be it saying all I’m saying is that when you look at his contract it makes a whole lot more sense than what Brandon’s working with no that right Le but I’m just saying if if he can get 300 million you know that’s almost like 60 million something dollars a year or might be more is it is it more yeah that’s what I’m saying like we are looking at that like that but they got other teams out there that might not consider that as much can you look at kawhai L got 296 million he don’t even play and they’ll happily keep giving him more money to keep people in the seats you know far as him and he won he played 68 games what is he played 68 games probably in four years Kawai always you know the person wor all is Tobias Harris Tobias Harris zero everything 38 minutes he didn’t score nothing and how much he got paid he had like he got a Max he got a Max in my 21 Savage voice and you you don’t think you don’t think Brandon were more than him so it’s just like our perspective on it and I think other teams aren’t I don’t think after what we saw last year I don’t want pay no million I’m not I’m not saying it but I can see somebody doing it is all I’m saying I could see other teams doing the thing is the 76s don’t have anything that the p won’t with the exceptions of Maxi and they’re not letting Maxi go they ain’t doing that and the only reason I say that Brandon would be a good foot there is like like 2K Noah said Brandon slows the game down he did that when he was with the Lakers he’s a halfcourt guy he slows the game his game just naturally slows the game down so when you put pair him up with somebody like embiid well guess what when embiid is in the game he slows the game down so you got it kind of matches it a give me Tyrese Maxi I don’t I ain’t got nothing to say to them and they not giving that they already said they trying to build around uh Tyrese Maxi and embiid so exactly the team the teams that we want to deal with that are probably are interested in branding we already mentioned them they got a bunch of other teams I’m sure will be willing to take him that ain’t trying to give us nothing Utah I don’t think would be the worst if we can get k Saxon or Larry Marin but I know they ain’t giving up him um and I guess they some combination of some of the other guys but you gotta give me Colin Saxton at least all Mark and some type of trade package anything outside of that like what the hell you want who Jordan Clarkson no I don’t really want him no it’s like having a baby CJ he’s not even actually CJ it’s almost like CJ light no I’m cool on it keep hitting shooting threes I like him if we didn’t have CJ on the team already I okay yes get let him CJ go let him go what you go what you go uh you go do a uh you go buy this contract are you I mean trade them look look who like we got one more year on that LE now next year when this contract is expiring we can get off of him next year when it’s expiring we got the whole that this year or they probably trade they probably trade CJ at the trade deadline to be honest maybe they could maybe they could pull that saying because the thing is whatever move that they make whatever move that they make because let me tell you something I do not want to see CJ and Trey young in that back court if if if the pelic go with Trey I wouldn’t want to see that they hunt CJ on the defensive in so the thing is we don’t want two guys like that would be all wrong and I want to make that clear like obviously if you go after Trey young you’re gonna have to compensate you’re either moving Trey Murphy over to the two okay and bring in uh some size to fill your front Court but to have CJ to have CJ next to Trey that back court I don’t even like that I don’t even like the look of it actually the look of it annoys me so I mean just to yeah that would definitely have to change they I mean CJ CJ would have to he would have to go to the bench I mean it’s inevitable if you got a guy like Trey if you got probably a darus SC or something too like if you got uh J the Jay n thing Jay na is obviously going to the bench but if you get any of these big name guys like CJ has to go to the bench because you have to start Trey Murphy after you give him a contract Ascension you cannot not start him again so whatever we don’t like about CJ far as the small back court I don’t even think they gonna do do that they can’t if you get Trey young here you have to send C to the bench you have to defensively defensively it’s not gonna work or unless we’re shifting our whole total philosophy and we’re just gonna be a offense first team and we don’t care about defense no more you have to bench him he’s got to be the most highly paid six man Le it’s either that or you just do the Deon Murray trade because they not trading CJ right now le yeah somebody somebody say that they how he played with Zion too yeah I know but I mean the thing is CJ being paid too much I mean for him not to show up in big moments it’s like dog what are you getting paid all that money for it it don’t match up like you you ain’t performing at a high level and in the bright lights play a rep yeah uh ain’t don’t nobody got time for that better come up off that bread sh get some to me and the rest of the panel you know what I’m saying making out like a fat rat right now Lex huh making out CJ McCullum making out like a fat rat right now with cheese let me tell you something y’ y’all heard his interview y’all heard his interview man look you know you know look both him and Brandon stated very clear like they got their money and and and CJ made that very clear you know what I’m saying so they they they already know what they doing they know what they doing you know shoot all them all the metaphors like you know um as far as you know CJ you know making them comments always coming back to his money hey man don’t nobody got time for that ain’t nobody stupid we we we we pay attention he got his bread he need to take a pay cut and he and he got to go got to go CJ not politician right I’m three-point shooting I was one of the top three-point Shooters in the n I ain’t taking nothing no pay cuts I need this they got a lot they got a lot of teams would happily take TJ if he was like two or three years younger yeah and the thing is he don’t he don’t have no he don’t have no quickness or nothing he don’t have none of that mean fla game I gotta give him that Lex he get he get to his little dancing bag with that Florida you know all right I want to look at everything okay I want to look at everything hold on Alex you can’t that dude is a dribble machine oh yeah he’s feeling feeling himself and let me tell you something he feels himself a lot oh I’m dancing oh I’m dancing oh look what I’m doing oh getting shimmy here shimmy there you know what I’m saying feel look coming down trying to put up them threes like dog move the ball you are not hot this ain’t no heat check don’t he Che what are you doing and then his poor decisions that dude panics in the clutch too dude you the reason why that 0 and 26 exists and a 0 and 27 panicking he’s been the main one handling that rock during the clutch in close games put there with no conscience either go back and look at him he’ll put that b he put he’ll take that shot with no conscience at all man I I seen him do it many times some a lot of them and for a veteran for a veteran and and you’re making poor decisions like you’re a rookie or a secondy year player hecky no he’s got to go I think we good though I think we good I don’t think we need much this team just don’t need to lose both Ingram and yonas without getting a splash player I mean a splash player somebody that you could rely on when Zion don’t have to do all the work simple as that we get that Trey Murphy I feel like he GNA cover his end if he could pick it up a little bit on the defensive end and play like a Jaden Daniels or jayen Williams a little bit on that end the Pelicans gonna be straight and it’s gonna be finally time to talk about Western Conference Finals with them because they not far behind the top four teams in the west which is Minnesota Denver OKC and um Dallas who other team Dallas they got far behind those teams time they battled those teams it was a good fight and it wasn’t no bad blowouts so you make great you make a great point about that but it’s a big difference in those teams that you mentioned yeah and his coaching yeah that’s a big difference that’s equalizer bro that’s the equalizer you you’ve heard us talk about the coaching man you know you you you seen Willie in action man he is not it well y’all heard y’all heard him Master P said call him okay well let’s do it like at at this point I’m with it man for real change the uh change our intro music when they bring the players out to make them say uh yeah do that id id DC um intro whatever they got ICDC intro the ICDC intro ICDC col call 800 255 yes inde Romeo up and but I I think isn’t James bgo leaving too we got we getting hit from cylinders right now so if James leave I do think they got a bunch of young hungry um College offensive minded coaches in there that we could if you really evaluate them they really have good offensive schemes but I just don’t think they take the time on evaluating coaches they look at the price more than looking at the mindset of the coach you bringing in because there’s no way that Van Gundy hiring should have happened right not not with that offens of scheme and there’s no like the Willie Green one I’m pretty sure they extended him because you know that deal probably didn’t cost them much did they ever get a numbers on that deal no they don’t even talk about it bro they’re not even talking about it and uh if you if you ask he got the Dennis Allen deal they might as well had the same amount of years and the same amount of money what’s the Dennis Allen deal DC five years $30 million or something crazy why else wouldn’t they show it man listed that’s the that’s their way they they they hide the contracts from me so you don’t know if they hiding this B they knew it was GNA be bad were all over his contract you know what I’m saying that’s public information so and apparently if you’re a reporter and you’re asking about those contracts yeah that you get your uh your media card revoked well you you that it that’s that’s how they keep control I mean that’s how you get a bunch of lap dogs now we have some good uh reporters there and they know that most of them guys they work for these papers and these different uh media operations and that’s how they make their money so they they have to be quite uh agreeable and subservient to the rules of the Pelicans so if the media manager tells you what questions not to ask you know you better not ask them or or risk not getting your pass uh you know approved the next time going your ass back to I College I think the pelic should stand firm man we only giving up if we giving up somebody it’s gonna be either CJ or Ingram we ain’t giving yall nothing else and just stand it like that you know stand it and give us a play you gonna have to give up some of them picks you can give up the two from this year whether they want to do that and give up a player like I give up dys and no no no lie because we could do with slid Hawkins in there slide Trey in there slide Jose in there and I think that’ll be a good rotation iot so you think they gonna resign Jose to the extension that’s the word it’s a couple million they talking about the ex the uh what is it the LA option there but then of course next year I mean when it’s when it’s up where they talking about what DC about four to five million something like that I don’t know if they go that route but you know things could look a lot different like if you’re talking about making this bi trade and I think we devaluing bi a little bit in the trade market he’s a person that certain teams want they want bi and you know like I said the Atlanta gonna have a tough stance on Trey I think de jonte Murray does make a lot of sense for the Pelicans uh but you know it depends on what direction this team’s going in in terms of who they want who they you know what they see a move that they need to make to make them kind of equalize that that gap between t not talent but you know like we talk about Minnesota and we talk about Denver we talk about Memphis we talk about Houston we talk about all these other teams and like we we mentioned the Clippers they got a brand new building so they gonna be feeling themselves trying to do some stuff that guy up there so at the end of the day the Pelicans they have to do something to kind of close the gap so to speak here uh let me give DJ an opportunity to chime in DJ are you uh are you awake sir how you doing tonight DJ DJ are you here sir how you doing DJ DJ is not listening he’s not replying wake up DJ DJ is sleeping okay all right d all right I think we got make R before 1130 for DJ man that next deal that next deal gotta be somebody that’s Z respect you can’t bring nobody that when you make that trade Z look at it and be like man here we go again with this carrying the team stuff it got to be somebody that Z respect and be like yeah I could roll with him and I think that’s gonna be Don MIT everybody else Trey young he might respect Trey young a little bit but then he G I know he gonna think about that how much he G you gonna have to give up on the defense in unless we go out and get somebody that could cover that in like not only have herb on that in because we gonna give up Dyson and somebody like that you could tell it’s gonna look different though to be honest with you 2K because the Pelicans right now we got a lot of players they talk about defense with Naji and and Jose Alvarado and and Herb Jones but then when you potentially make this trade you know it kind of flips it doesn’t it to make it look like you’ll be more offensive gifted if that’s the direction you headed in with a Trey young type as opposed to it depends this is going to be a crucial decision in terms of what the Pelicans need to do to I’m okay with that offensive way because we can’t lose on both offense and defense and we had a problem guarding OKC and scoring on OKC so we got to pick up poison on that end and i’ rather to go with that offense a piece because it’s working for the Pacers even though they got some injury luck but that scoring piece was something that got them all the way through the playing tournament and playing against people but I’ll definitely take that scoring route knowing that we got to hurry the lineup cuz when it comes to the playoffs everybody on the bench ain’t going to play you going to have to get people in there that’s solid solid in the rotation and I think that rotation to Hawkins Trey Murphy Larry and um I don’t know if Larry gonna be here but Hawk Trey Murphy Larry and um what’s his name Jose that’s a solid four coming off the bench know what they doing been playing just get your starting five right and then we straight we ain’t got too far to go we we right at the needle yeah good point on that bro uh DC you want to comment on that before we get ready I’m give you and Lex opportunity to comment on that before we get ready to to do What DJ did and uh shut the stream now no I mean I I really ain’t got no comment on that one that’s that’s actually a good point so I’m go ahead and let that ride and defer the l oh thank you um shout out DC much love One Love much love much love one love much love much love go Le yeah I just uh this definitely the team just got to make a change man and get better um like I said before um I definitely want to go after the guys who perform at a high level in the playoffs because we already know that if they perform well in the playoffs that they’re going to perform well in regular season so if we go for those type guys which is Trey young which is D Mitch I like those guys um I think uh with this team um everybody on this team has capitalized off of Zion’s gravity but Zion does not really have the luxury of capitalizing off of someone else’s gravity which would be nice for him to do you know to get him easier shots you know to to get uh you know reciprocate that loves so that would be nice by getting you know that high IQ player um you know guys that you know that know the game um that you know that perform in the clutch perform Under Pressure um that’s what that’s what this team needs I don’t think it’s so much uh because I know the last time 2K you uh you stay St that uh it’s not so much as getting like a star because obviously you know you’re seeing a lot of these super teams they’re not doing well it’s not so much as that and I actually agree with you on that but just getting guys that can really make a difference like down the stretch obviously that that link up and and we basically Express those things with with Trey young and D Mitch obviously there there’s going to be like pros and cons to every situation um um just like when um when Don was talking about with d Mitch um I didn’t you know really agree with everything he was saying as far as with d Mitch because he is a combo guard and um I’m I’m really familiar with dmch he went to Louisville and so Louisville is my college team and I’m I I’ve been familiar with him since high school but he was known like uh because Rick patino was the head coach of Louisville and he always said you did not get into the game unless you play defense a lot of people don’t know this D Mitch was W was drafted for his defense not his offense he was basically forced into his offensive game you know because that’s what Utah needed so but best believe D Mitch is actually a defensive player a lot of people don’t know that I mean I I I can tell you about it because I watched all the Louisville games I’m familiar with his game and you uh Rick patino is a straightup defensive coach that’s what he’s known for Full Court pressing that’s Rick patino okay so you have to be in astronomical shape you have to play on that end of the floor so I actually like d Mitch because of of that fact because he is a two-way player in my mind uh most people probably disagree but again that’s what I’m going off of because that’s that’s what he showed like in college and that’s what he was drafted for at Utah um but yeah between those two guys I like those two guys as far as big men I’m not really gone off of Jared Allen like that um Jared Allen uh DC and I know you brought this up earlier but you said you know why have they you know the Cavs been trying to trade him well last season when the lights were really bright for Jared Allen he didn’t perform well and now with this injury they wanted him to get a shot I think in his leg or wherever he was having an injury at um so he could play and help the team he didn’t do that yeah he refused so no my my point Le was um why haven’t they been able to trade him they’ve been trying to trade him for two years that’s that’s what I was saying well and saying that that action price for him is probably more than what most people want to pay was that a part of that injuries because injuries hit the team and he just started balling remember he was balling like yeah he was he actually him and him and D Darius Garland was over there lighting it up man and when darus Garland went down he was that boy had 30 point games and he Bing out of control right I mean but I I think people don’t want him because again in the playoffs he he doesn’t do the greatest like again he he’s like a regular season guy and that’s great in regular season but for the Pelicans what are the Pelicans trying to do we trying to win at a high level trying to advance in the playoffs and if that’s the goal then we need that goal to carry over within the trades of getting the guys that are going to perform well because if you get guys that perform well in the playoffs they’re going to perform well in regular season we want to go for that the big stage yeah the big stage and not oh we need you to do well in regular season no we have guys here right now that yeah regular season was great Road Warriors great top 10 defense great top 10 15 offense great playoffs where did all that stuff go you know what I’m saying like we need that high performance on the big stages so that we
