[Music] for all things Pelicans you’re now tuned into the Pelican post game report much love to the fam hope yall having a fantastic start of your weekend man listen fam I’ll talk a little pills early on Big Ups to the fam I’m big queing this one uh listen man shout out to the fan appreciate y’all G to talk some Pelicans early baby we G to do that because let me tell you few things shaking with our Pelicans over the last few weeks uh few days actually we’ve been covering here on the PPR stream so big UPS to the fam good to see you as always we’ll have DC chiming in perhaps Lexa Big Ups to you guys as we get going in this stream and of course this one’s from Adrian morowski getting right into it the fact that the Pelicans are planning to defer the Lakers first round pick well they are actually going to do it as official that they’re going to defer the pick until 2025 so the Lakers will keep that pick and pretty much with that means is you know they’ll pick next year and is that a good strategy a lot of people consider this draft a very weak draft and they anticipate next year’s draft having a lot more uh you know a lot more ump to it than this year’s draft but there are quite a few to be honest with you there are quite a few players in this draft in terms of like bigs that the pals can go after man if they’re looking to utilize that pick and perhaps they could take the pick and trade it use it as in in in potential trades we know that bi is on the trade block uh as well as the Pelicans look to try to upgrade the team or re pretty much reset the cores what we looking at all right so Big Ups to the fam good to see y’all good morning indeed to everybody Daniel good to see you man Jordan Big Ups to you Mont dog Philly Philly what’s happening that’s right early birds yeah you’re right what’s up Kevin how you doing man appreciate you being in the Stream as well Elite Big Ups to Elite joining the stream as well so listen fam they G to defer and we kind of anticipated this I was thinking of the strategy perhaps but a lot of uh changing and it’s going on with the Pelicans we know we talked about the Tran Langan thing him taking a job to be the VP of basketball Ops for the Detroit Pistons club and you know it that that that comes with it now there’s another executive that they’re anticipating him bringing with him over there we’ll talk about that momentarily but it’s a lot of stuff popping with the pills right now so let’s kind of kind of delve into this one here has the Pelicans defer the first round pick that’ll help the Lakers were anticipating that that’s something that they thought that that they was hoping that the Pelicans could do because they can they need some assets right and of course we do know about the James bgo thing we’ll talk about that as JJ Reddit all the Insiders is saying that JJ Reddit is the guy for the job I’m like huh but it is la is is la is pinka you know you gonna give this guy a job never did it before the other credible coaches that are available but that’s La that’s why a lot of people don’t want to take that damn job stupid but JJ Reddit is the dude and of course there are rumors saying that we know that JJ Reddit already is working on his staff and it was put out there that bgo would be you know potentially a member of JJ Reddit strap along straff staff as long as with with uh bgo uh who was it else um uh it was Sam Cassel and others was supposed to be a part of his staff and also bgo is supposed to be mentioned in rumors with other with another team that we’ll talk about too so anyway Pelicans deferred a pick until 2025 Christian Clark was one of the people that kind of talked about we know Adrian wowski was the one that kind of dropped the scoop there and we kind of figured that would more than likely be the thing as they would do now as a cap expert yazzi golin observes deferring to pick was always viewed as a logical outcome for the Pelicans because the Pelicans already control the 21st pick in this draft which is perceived as a weak draft so pushing the pick back a year will remove the 3.8 million Caple from their books which is pretty significant given the team’s financial situation so a money component to it to we knew that it’s a money component with the Pelicans weak draft plus them getting almost four million back in terms of you know with the cap situation is a win-win in the pel’s book so indeed so there you go so of course the little backdrop on that situation the 2025 first rounder that La will send to New Orleans is the final outgoing piece from the Anthony Davis trade of 2019 if the Lakers struggle next season it could pass it possibly or possible could be a lottery selection and what is viewed at a a much stronger draft and La went 47-35 this season and entering the playoffs as the seven seed before being eliminated in the first round by the defending Champion Denver Nuggets in addition to the 2025 first round pick from the Lakers the PS also controls Milwaukee’s 2027 firstr pick and the Drew Holiday trade and all and they and all and own all of their future firsts so you know the Pelicans got a lot of draft Capital that they can utilize as well moving forward so like I said we still still they’re still formatting it getting things together figuring out which moves would be the correct moves in terms of picking up and handling business the right way for our Pals and building the team stronger like we talked about on the show at nauseum and kind of documented that the Pelicans to be honest with you have they’re resetting the core of the team with Brandon Ingram being potentially moved in the trade because they’re not gonna they’re not gonna pay that extension they just not so you have to move them so with that being said resetting the core means eventually CJ mccullum’s going to get out of here too and they’re going to more than likely have to sparse and put players there now it’s a lot of chatter right now of which players would be the best players to place in that role uh next to Zion Williamson a lot of people me personally right now it’s a lot of stuff going on because now even the Cleveland for it’s another thing going on with Cleveland as they’re now trying to say Jared Allen is not up for it’s just just just foolishness anyway DC joins the stream shout out to DC but I don’t know if you guys been keeping up with the chatter with Cleveland you know with Donovan they want Donovan uh Mitchell there and now they’re trying to talk uh uh Darius Garland into staying there and keeping that core together now that they they saying that they don’t want to move Jared it’s just that I just think it’s a bunch of BS I think think eventually Darius Garland will command his way out of there man so I mean that’s pretty much what what’s going to pretty much happen there to be honest with you so anyway DC how you doing tonight brother I me this this morning this morning this morning doing doing good bro doing good man uh intrigued by some of the things right so yeah it’s it’s a few things man so the deferring of the pick wasn’t really a surprise there week draft um as as well as a cap component there as they getting almost uh you know the pick there they’ll remove of 3.8 million caph hold from the books so they get a little extra money back on that deal so yeah so you have the they still control the 21st pick there and they kind of move it forward man you know and and it kind of follows forward on you know what did what would they do at 21 now there’s a ton of other things going on but you know the Pelicans did have you know a try out that occurred Pelicans worked out Zack Edy pre-draft and they’re thinking that he could find out a lot of mock drafts have Zack e the big Purdue Center this guy’s big old guy seven foot4 that’s the answer for wind that’s what everybody think but it’s it’s the dude is huge he was the um the N what was he it was a national player of the year so he had that that award to his game game and he Dives I was watching highlight film I’m doing some research on Zack Ed but a lot of mock drafts have Edie falling there so perhaps the Pelicans have an eye there so you know he’s not a you know like they want yonas to be you know they had Jonas as a guy that wasn’t as spry or athletic as he wants but when you look at Zack Ed’s game and they kind of working them out there’s a actually if you’re looking for a big in this draft depending on which kind of big you’re looking at what what kind of big like they have a they have every type of big that fits your system in this draft and a lot of these guys could play I know GC likes the guy he likes uh wear I think wear yeah he likes him but Tyler Smith there’s a few of them man Tyler Smith is actually pretty uh pretty good too from the G League ignite dude that’s like 610 really athletic um I think his defense is better than the ignite like when you go watch him because their defense sucked the team and we had a interesting list of people that were working out man I actually look at some people on that draft list um was trying to find it to pull it up for you but I can’t find a link right now but it was like uh maybe eight or nine guys and I’m not gonna lie Q when you go look at some of these guys they’re they’re interesting man uh Darren Holmes your guy you like the the pals have a lot of options that they can go with uh probably I guess a combination Center you know a power forward guy that could Moonlight at the center spot there’s a lot of options far as guys like that you got Um Zack e you know um which I don’t think that’s serious I think they’re doing the due diligence because I mean he is 74 so he has that over but other than that man you got a guy that can play the post can’t really stretch the defense um he’s I think moves Better Than People intended but I mean he’s 74 he’s not super athletic center you know what I’m saying I’d be really shocked if we took him but I wouldn’t be mad I just don’t think the PS looking in that direction especially after U the horrible uh Chronicles of uh Jonas Val Jun that we had to watch will Willie constantly taking them out a lot of times you probably should play so it’s very uh intriguing and different yeah I got Zack E’s numbers pulled up like I said he was uh Pelicans took interest in them and uh 25.2 points per game on almost 66% shooting from the field 12 rebounds two assists and two blocks a game 2.2 blocks a game so I mean yeah he’s a it’s a big presence in in the uh definitely in the uh paint and uh he has an offensive component to his game and he was their best player so man uh like you said he’s not super athletic I was watching him but he moves better than than Jonas but I I don’t know if he’s the fit for Willie Green system that’s the whole thing uh shout out to brother Sean Castro man he says I just want to win salute to the whole flock thank you for your Super Chat brother appreciate that yeah I agree man I’m with you on that I just want to win too bro I just want to win all right we just want to play the damn players that make sense uh Lex are you there welcome on then Lex yo what’s up with you how you doing oh doing all right doing all right what’s good what’s good yeah stepping away from the basketball court a little bit so I can uh so y’all can hear me yeah yeah we can hear you I heard you hit that three-pointer and everybody start cheering I heard you yeah thanks I appreciate no there’s a there’s a game going on so uh yeah just trying to get away to a good spot what’s going on DC how you doing I’m doing good Le doing good trying to uh find a way to get excited about the Pelicans hopefully we trade for yeah that would be uh that would be nice I I am still kind of concerned turn but um how y’all feel about CU I’m just coming in so I didn’t hear everything how’ y’all feel about um uh them deferring the uh the Lakers pick I love it I love it I think it makes a ton of sense with the uncertainty of the Lakers um I wasn’t really excited about them picking 17 in this draft especially know next year everybody’s ring and raav about the draft next year so even if we get in the same position or Sim position next year think it’s be pretty good yeah that we we draft depending on what you’re looking for but in terms of Bigs like I said the it works well with the Pelicans man like we looking at these bigs there are a lot of bigs out there that fit with you know that can fit what they do got all types so I mean they play it right we should be all right shout out to DJ man state of the Pelicans then again we still have DC DC Lex Carlo as DJ says where all right thank you DJ Carlo would be a nice surprise DJ but let’s be real man what do we really know about Carlo in the NBA we can’t hang out head on that pair him with two three other guys and see if he rides to and if he does then great go ahead Alex oh no like DJ really locked in on third stram and G leers he’s a he’s Underdog man I mean I get it but you know did call he did call Naji Marshall he saw that and he was he was team Naj from day one and a few other guys man DJ he got a reason to be like that to an extent in my op that’s right you gotta you gotta say you gotta call it out DJ did call he did call Naji I think he called Jose Alvarado he was talking about Jose Al it was always the underdog DJ rods for the underdog so there you go got you well Sho I think the Pelicans organization is underd so I want to call for everybody but um yeah um I I haven’t seen everybody um all the bigs in the draft because I I don’t really I don’t really know anybody I’m be honest now I am familiar with Edie I know talking talking know looking at him and everything um I see his stats and everything I think the biggest thing cuz I’m I’m I’m not the analytical type person I I’m looking I did see him play I think I’m concerned about him um I guess being more because he doesn’t seem like a a full court type guy he seems like more a half court and you got to understand like the speed of the game in the NBA is totally different than college so I’m kind of kind of worried about like I think half court he would do great but you know in in a in a certain Dynamic you’re almost looking at like you know in a nutshell kind of like a younger JV so I don’t know how y’all feel about that but that’s what that I kind of pick you know just seeing his game and everything yeah I mean that’s actually true uh because uh there’s a couple of scouting reports that refer to them in particular this one right here first his um his slowness in the the p pop game he definitely has some um some athletic limitations to his game like I said he uh he’s talented but in once again we don’t want have a valat chunis type see we can draft this kid and bring him on to the team but Willie will is gonna I think one one aspect is that that’s like we’re extremely underrating we talking about him and comparing him to JB right now only thing I compare to him with JV is really maybe some of his touch around the basket and uh his slow footedness you know but Zack eie is man he’s a very intelligent basketball player and he’s an exceptional well beyond exceptional Defender man this dude is he’s the true anchor if the pedals did get Z right he’s definitely not gonna be you know just starting center all the time a guy out there playing 30 minutes that that ain’t do that a gonna be him but somebody that you can play Maybe Off the Bench or he has a defined role I think it would be amazing the dude provides excellent Rim protection he’s 74 with like a well maybe a seven eight wingspan what is it 8 foot something wingspan I don’t know it’s wingspan um you can see him finish around the rim with with both hands you know what I’m saying he sets excellent screens Q excellent screens yes you know what I’m saying he can operate the the pick and rooll on offense you know with a point guard if we had somebody like let’s say Trey young man he might be a turn Zack e to go you never know but the only downfall is how does it work right with Zion does he clog the paint but I look at him in a similar mode I mean stepen Adams really even know when you have somebody that’s intelligent and they know how to move around there and they’re unselfish and looking to free other guys up getting them screen assist I definitely think it could work it’s just you can’t just have just Zack Ed and think we so Sol that solution we still need like two other guys cuz different moments during the game different matchups he may get played off the floor especially as a rookie but he has a chance that dude has a chance to be something special man we don’t really know everybody talking down on him we can look back at this draft and be like man why didn’t people pick Zack Ed but I don’t think he gonna make it to 21 well D youc It’s not that people are talking down on Zack Edy it’s the fact that people realize who their coach is that’s what they that’s what they know and they could see a potential repeat or a similar situation where Edie is treated like a valat chunis where if you take this guy you know take you take a firstr draft pick you want to see if you can get max value the Pelicans need Rim protection uh and Edy even though he’s a very good player does he really fit with Willie Green that we don’t need any more players that Willie Green is not going to play you know you can draft these guys but it’s up to the coach to find a role for these guys and like we was talking about before and it might be a moot point but you know you talked about I think probably we would be a better choice for the Pelicans but I don’t think he’ll be there at 21 when the Pelicans uh choose so I like I said man um that’s that’s what I’m looking at is we know who Willie Green is and does if you take Ed and like I said I watched Ed play man he’s a force he’s a force for Purdue you know and but the thing is he’s not as fast as you would want and that’s that whole switch everything do you see him working and see that’s what I’m concerned not work yeah go ahead Lex yeah no no just what you said that’s what I’m concerned about because I mean you look at him and his speed works you know on that college level but it’s like you know dude you know speed is relative so it’s like you know once you get into a setting where you’re around you know guys that are a whole lot faster than you cuz they they talk of that that’s one of the top things that NBA players talk about the speed of the game and the physicality physicality I don’t have a problem with that you know he’s a big guy I I I don’t think he’ll have any problems the thing I’m concerned about is the speed and and obviously with Willie Green it’s a defens of running team they like to run you know what I’m saying you you think about you know even in a way and I’m not trying to relate their games but you look at DeMarcus Cousins know even when he was getting up and down the floor and I know he coach wasn’t um Willie Green but the thing is a lot of teams adopt that they adopted you know uh the strong running game you know getting away from half court so I mean it’s like you’re not as athletic and Demarcus he he’s not a guy who played Above the Rim either you know and you can kind of see that that all that run running was kind of like wearing tear on them so you know in a way it’s kind of it’s kind of concerning that’s the only you know biggest thing that I’m concerned about but I am interested to know like are there any because you said that there were a lot of bigs in this draft right that’s right so so what are I guess the other other bigs or other options I mean did anybody like stick out there the only one that’s the college player the year twice only got one of them yeah that’s s but he doesn’t feel what you do DC unless and one other thing the only reason I’m I’m I guess speaking on him highly right now is one other reason we have to deal with W Bama are we not gonna like try to devise some type of goddamn plan for that or we just G we just gonna allow him to turn into a mega super star and when we playing we act shock that we have no idea how to even cont played on trying to defend we got a plan for that I mean what’s the plan the plan is Larry cut it off stop it man we G switch everything Larry is the answer regardless of what the question is okay let’s get that straight Lex go ahead I was just say hey if they that that’s the answer to throw the whole season away because look it’s not just Wim Yama I don’t know if y’all notied like size is like a big deal right now like having size down low I mean obviously you saw what the t-wolves did to um to Denver you know what I’m saying they had three they had three bigs to go up against jic that was a lot and it actually worked in that series down I mean if you look at if you look at Dallas you know their size with Derek Lively I think up winning a championship we might had a championship it’s not just and I I I I really feel like that it’s gonna come down to that size you know because the thing is what are guys trying to do they’re trying to attack you you’re running into bigs so I mean I think um but we’re a small ball team ly say again we’re small ball we gonna do the exact opposite of everybody else and we gonna be good yeah I mean I understand that but I mean if you look at even with their Bigs like they’re I mean their defensive bigs so they run the floor very well you know what I’m saying it’s not like um because you only have like the traditional Bigs like joic and and MB I mean even with win Bama you could you can even put him at like a stretch four just the way that he plays I mean he can play down low but like he’s not like he’s not the the type of person he’s going to move you out the way but um I mean I don’t know I mean I think the biggest thing is just getting getting big guys getting like size up there like because you can’t teach seven foot so you know I don’t think it necessarily has to be like somebody like 80 but that’s why I think uh we talked about we need somebody who can run that floor black shots yeah that’s really the answer so yeah that that’s a that’s good point Lex DC I think uh the point about uh wiama is is is an issue too because that’s true I mean the Dallas Mavericks could end up bringing the championship to the South to the uh Southwestern conference man we could be the the champion could possibly reside inside of the Southwest a division excuse me so that that that’s crazy man because I I didn’t think it was going to be Dallas I thought the winner of the D of the uh Minnesota and Denver series was the the team that’ll represent the west and boy that’s uh Luca says Nope Kyrie said nope and the Dallas Mavericks just lit it on fire man those guys are fantastic and just think about where they were a year ago where Luca was upset and the team went to work they started trading they got Gafford they got PJ and they went to work and turned it around and of course they have competent coaching that’s a big part of it too yeah Jason kid is a great coach yeah he’s a point guard he a champion as a player and be a champion as a coach huh and I also want to say the the front office man they have a amazing front office where they were able to recognize what their team need and go out in the middle of the season and get it and not wait sit on their hands yeah try to figure out oh maybe do it with this current no they went and attack that got what they needed and in my opinion I think they up winning the championship Boston could definitely win to but I just feel like Dallas the way they’re playing they they just they’re not taking No for uh next Le’s uh let me say this before you go Willie was a point guard too the floor is yours Willie was a point guard no no no he was a combo he was a combo and there there’s there’s many definitions Jason kid be said Jason kid was a was a true point guard said Willie was a guard Le no no I but I said point guard like he was a true point guard know I’m saying but U yeah he he’s more of a fil I I I was never excited about that dude’s game I mean he was there and that that was about it but um man C you made me forget what I was gonna say man said was a God we got two Gods gonna be coaching up against each other you know so you know that’s exciting you know even though Jason kid gave compliments not to Willie to his assistant coach he said they right yeah yeah he was right about that um I will say this though uh Mark cubin Mark cubin doesn’t play man that that that that dude’s on a mission and just in case y’all y’all don’t uh remember um yeah the Mavs they they y’all know they missed the the playing and the playoffs like all together just last season and that’s what’s kind of crazy about where they are right now it’s like that’s what they did just within the season cuz that’s when they obviously traded for Kyrie and Luca and Kyrie were trying to get their chemistry together well looks like they got it together I’m pretty confident about that and um yeah I mean I just think that’s that’s pretty spectacular I think definitely the uh measuring stick for the Pelicans though I see the measuring stick you know looking at the Thunder and the Minnesota t-wolves just because of the rebuild but depending on what we do in this track it it it’s one of those things where you can’t make the wrong decision like it’s that imperative that you don’t make the wrong decision if you’re retooling and you know this is this is just how I feel I mean I don’t know if anybody else feels like this you need to get proven players when proven players guys that have performed at a high level in the play because that’s what the Pelicans are trying to further to go further in the playoffs not just get to the playoffs but to go far far in the playoffs if you if you’re going with you know all the cheapest or you’re going with um you know like very very strong role players which there’s nothing wrong with that but we also have to think like we got to get over the hump it’s not like a regular season thing it’s not so much like we need to we want to be good in regular season all right but we also want to be great in the playoffs and we don’t want just regular season guys and that’s one of the reasons why I had a problem with um Jared Allen because he’s like a straightup regular season type cat when he gets in the playoffs he doesn’t really perform the greatest you know what I’m saying check this out though in traditional center for the most part um they get played off the floor of him in the playoffs you don’t really you’re not getting him for the playoffs to be honest other than uh Rim protection you can use that you would be getting for the clubs though right yeah no but the thing is hold on no I’m saying I’m saying you you getting them if you getting them for Rim protection and stuff like that for the season get for the CLS correct am I right my am I thinking here in in a way but his role is obviously going to be reduced in the playoffs because he can’t stretch the floor everybody starts stretching the floor in the playoffs so you can still use them but my opinion was uh look at Minnesota and the way they lost the Series man they they were too I think hooked on over utilizing Rudy go or not using him in the correct way you can’t play guys like that like everybody else M goes up in the playoffs except for like traditional unless you got somebody like w Bama that you building the team around a guy that can score from all three levels that side like all of those guys roles seem like it’s reduc reduced a little bit in the playoffs anyway but you getting him to do the heavy lifting during the season and to have a defined role during the playoffs to Anchor your defense and to deter people you know out of paint but his minutes shouldn’t be 30 minutes a game or 28 whatever it is normally during the season you want to go smaller a lot of times with more scoring during the playoffs they had the ability to do that that chis Chris fist just for whatever reason he yeah he stuck on Rudy man but he had the players to do it though that’s the thing guys n n re was playing Amazing you know he was he should yeah that that should have been a a little too too heavy on Rudy but uh yeah indeed man so um let’s kind of move further into it man as we kind of look forward because yeah no doubt about Pelicans this is a they’re looking for perhaps I need I need you to look at uh all the guys that we worked up and we we go over those guys so far all I got is Zack eedy uh in terms of No it’s it’s a list it’s a list of like eight or nine guys man Tyler Smith I think was one of the guys we worked out um you can look up him he’s he’s actually amazing it’s a little bit of a project um but he’s kind he second round grade on him don’t they is the second I’m G be honest man and I said this from the beginning when we started talking about this Draft when you really look at guys in this draft Q I don’t know where the hell nobody’s going like you really can’t anticipate that man because everything after like maybe the top five players it’s a total crapshoot on how people view everybody it’s it’s goes down to view and fit um it’s looking like a lot of guys in this draft might have you know defined roles they got some diamonds in the roughs but you don’t have like this short thing from top to bottom so it if somebody Val values him like this guy didn’t play center bro he’s shooting 39% from three-point line 38 39% from three-point line he’s extremely athletic you know he’s 610 he’s solid shows some strength too but he he’s you know he got some things he got iron out he a perfect Prospect you be talking about him at number one two or three right but um I think he’s one of those guys like you don’t know man I wouldn’t be shocked if somebody took him before that somebody’s a little higher on him uh do Mahomes is another guy then they got a cat can’t remember on this list I was looking at him man I looked at the list and started viewing the players but I’m not uh familiar with all of the names once we start showing the names I can uh talk more about them they got a guy in this draft that I’m I’m tell you the truth man I wouldn’t be shocked if we take it and he ain’t nobody I’ve heard of until I looked at when I was watching him you know what I saw to I saw herb Jones but stronger stronger version of herb he’s 68 kind of plays power forward but I see him want to do the small ball thing at centerwood of course especially for minutes and I think he his defensive acument I think he can um he be able to do it and his offensive game looks to be further along than her was in college but um you know that’s a tall artist saying the man is her Jones but he does have a lot of similarities after watching his tape man I have to I gotta say I think he’s probably the best defender in the draft saying all this can’t remember his name I gotta find a a list of the workout guys been trying to look for it the list of the work on screen Z worked out Tyler is it’s what five of the guys so far I mean it’s like it’s like it’s like eight of them oh they work all of these guys look I got one of five of them I’mma have to keep looking for the other one but Zack Eed Tyler Smith got five this is this a list of all the guys who worked up jayen Tyson Jonathan J jayen Tyson is another one too check him Jaylen Tyson yeah Kevin cross I think uh pull up Kevin cross I think that’s him Jaylen Tyson is he’s a very intriguing guy as well man this dude he looked like he just know how to play ball he was all over the place man got a solid three-point percentage he keeps finding his way around the basket man getting easy buckets in the right places at the right times intelligent basketball player they got this guy rank 30 I I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go a lot higher than in the teams honestly like yeah if you put on his tape and you start looking at him bro he’s like one of them dudes that’s uh just look like a natur a natural to me and it don’t matter where you put him on the court he’s gonna figure out a way to just be impactful um constantly moving constantly giving maximum effort um as you can see from his numbers he was he was pretty efficient obviously gonna have some holes in this game you know you talking about him as number one but it’s almost like uh he’s not Jose Alvarado but you put him in that mode of that type of player and in his own way he doesn’t play Like H that’s not what I’m saying but like a hustle guy that can just figure out a way to get stuff done and being pack with whatever you need him to do on the basketball another I could see us taken especially with us possibly trading Brandon Ingram I gotta I gotta think we’re gonna get another forward uh you know maybe a forward that can Moonlight at Center to to replace um possibly losing Larry n if we’re trading him um and and somebody off the bench to replace the Trey Murphy Role not expecting him to be a sniper but just a forward another another Wing like we love the stock power Wing so we gonna get to see if that was a Tran langon thing or if that’s just a Pelicans thing because we’ve always had a lot of wings so it’d be kind of hard for me to not think that we could possibly just draft a wing and not draft a big man or draft a wing that can kind of play some small boss in that’s kind of what it looks like to me it’s either they get a a center that could maybe play a little forward are they getting a forward that could play a little Center yeah I kind of I’m looking at that looking at some footage

island all right three early Pelicans in 20 DC please and uh free agency Targets in whated all right three Pelicans NBA free agent Targets in 2024 off season all Ryan D I’m sorry I just had to say Ryan D was was the brother I was talking about that uh that little herb Jones as to his game oh you looked him he’s actually he’s actually a guard yeah his name is what uh Ryan dun DN yeah all right hold on here let me put him on go goad man how your businessing just you know that’ be the next next topic we talk about him uh H Hunter solz was was solid too they got uh a guy from Memphis that we worked out n Quan Tomlin um yeah had Jonathan boo people know about him and Tyler Smith as well so we can go over you know some of those oh and Chris Cross boy from Two L cross yeah I had uh forward though yeah he was on the list all right so uh yeah let’s move along this is the idea right here by clutch all right and they saying Pelicans need and this is just ideas TR to you at you Lex and the family members they thinking this is their idea Pelicans need Isaiah hartstein if the price is right I’m not really uh big on Isaiah hartstein I’m really I know he’s a hustle player he got some stuff to him but I’m not really big on him but the guy says batuna spin departure Pelicans are going to need a start CER a hor yeah not he a bad play they talk about him making 80 to1 million no not for no Isaiah hartstein now the Pelicans already have quite a big of cap space tied up with three players in Zion bi and McCullum barring an unforeseen trade that doesn’t give them much room to work with hardstein is likely to command a hefty price now following Mitchell Robinson’s injury issues throughout the season into the playoffs hardstein field in admirably as a starter he’s athletic worked on his three-point shooting 33 .3 from downtown can be a double double threat as well the One issues that would happle to Pelicans efforts though is the price so Isaiah’s likely in line for a big payday uh of his career so far the pelic should still do that due diligence inquire about him but he might it might not be realistic second one and this is some this is a player that I’ve actually heard us talk about here on the PPR Ty uh T tyus Jones is the playmaker and ball handler the Pelicans need one of the most glaring weaknesses last season was their lack of true point guard McCullum has always been more guard the Pelicans offense was hampered by not having a true point guard he said that at ning here that they were operating the point guard by uh committee approach that in the G in the clutch moments of the game seems to break down you need a table set of somebody that bring some balance there tyus Jones has long been one of the most underrated and underappreciated point guards in the NBA in terms of free agency money he likely wouldn’t command much the pelic is definitely need to put fillers out for his Services Jones had a career year this past season averaging 12 points and 7.3 assists he shot almost 49% from the field and over 41% from downtown not bad Pelicans do have player option backup point guard Jose Alvarado while Alvarado is a high energy player and tough Defender the need for a true playmaker at the one is too glaring for the Pelicans not to address this offseason it might be time to move in another Direction then of course the third thing Pelicans need to resign do it all Naj Marshall of the Pelicans key free agents the top player they need to bring back is Naji Marshall Marshall has become knife type play I would love for it to happen bro but it’s not gonna happen for the Pelicans he knows his role and plays it well does a little bit of everything on the court one of the top things he’s worked on is his floor space and Marshall shot a career almost 39% from three-point range last season which that’s a that’s a Plus for Naji man we was so taken back by what herb was doing in his maturation Naji Marshall had a a very good maturation of himself he’s going to get paid somewhere just not us he’s also a strong defending player who can guard multiple positions and perhaps most importantly he’s the Pelicans enforcer the only issue though could be salary undrafted in 2020 NBA draft this could be Marshall’s first chance as a long-term at a long-term lucrative contract that will probably be no shortage of suitors looking to add him to the roster suit shs could conceivably offer him more than the Pelicans in the end he could Marshall could be willing to take a HomeTown discount on the team that gave him a chance in the NBA or does he rightfully cash in on the bigger payday I would say to the to the latter that he would cash in that he would cash in he’s GNA cash in he’s gonna cash in and it won’t be with the pales we can’t afford I mean what why wouldn’t he cash in why are they talking like like he gonna give us a HomeTown discount I never understood this talk with Naj like Naj is gonna give us a HomeTown discount man we went in the play we went in the first round of the playoffs and got moed up man nobody ain’t trying to come back to that team and take a discount man like you gotta be on the verge of of really winning something to do that like that’s that’s crazy now you gonna get that bag I think somebody like I said will give him anything in the range of seven to0 million a year maybe you know um he whatever they give him they gonna give him more than we will so what what is he what he coming back for but um awesome player the knife his versatility was amazing man definitely was forever remember Naji as a missel yeah indeed and and that’s the thing that you know you know we think about you know when we look at how because fam moving forward man I just the Pelicans they you’re going to lose one of your key reserves like we we bi is going to be traded uh eventually CJ mccullum’s gonna get trade even though it won’t be early on more than likely it’s gonna be later on because they got to reset the core uh so we got to be able to put a team in place here that’s gonna compete right out the gate you know we talking about Dallas Dallas popped in there man and and are in the Western Conference my the uh in the NBA Finals they’re in the NBA Finals representing the West that’s out of our stuff that’s out of our division you know what I’m saying I didn’t even see that I had either Denver or Minnesota coming whoever coming out of that that that fight that that should have been the Western Finals by the way that should I see I didn’t see him just outright making this a championship C but I remember talking trash about during the season right I talk about oh they not nothing man it’s lot of offense no defense man I got quiet as a church M after the trade line I already knew something was brewing when I saw what Derek Lively was already doing they went got Daniel Gaff and PJ Washington all forgetting off of Grant Williams and some draft picks I’m like man what the hell are we doing we talked about it and how upset we were that’s all it took to get gaffer yeah like I mean that would have been a perfect compliment to what we needed you want to go all defense you want to go switch everything how the hell we do that we don’t have a goddamn R protector no cheap some type of rim protector where you could work them in we don’t have that at all so once once I saw Dallas do that and and add the caveat of PJ Williams to what they already had they already had a solid team right I I knew something I knew something was cooking but I I didn’t think for sure they were going to the West the uh the finals I thought maybe the Western Conference Final but they they didn’t win man and they jailed as a team lcas talking about how great Kyrie Irving’s leadership is you know a guy we could have traded for um I know right he was he was cheap too bro was like two it was like two first round draft Pi I know but DC this is the thing it would it would have took us to do that BR you know we gave up intervie okay that’s fine yeah I don’t think he gonna be quiet like you said I think he’s gonna talk a lot you know with his hand in the funny posture too if you know what said no I don’t know what you zestiness I saw a lot of zestiness like what’s going on man look I’m call hey I’m beh I’m behind him for whatever he can do basketball wise man but I wasn’t prepared that’s what about to see when I watch the interview but anyway uh hey bro let’s talk we need we need nuts though man we need some somebody around gota have some nuts man you know maybe I’m I’m totally wrong about the brother if I am I apologize but I know what I say bro listen bro man might be popping up on this show soon bro we don’t need no stuff that that AES that’s going we don’t need all that brother he you I’m just saying did you watch the interview no no I did not see the interview that’s why because you didn’t watch it we gota play the interview for the show okay well listen man all I want team that don’t talk that talks about winning and about being an NBA champion I don’t care about no good human being and stability and what’s the word the UN term he always uses the culture human beings no no it’s it’s what’s it is the human beings man no it’s something else he uses the uh the culture no building organic sustainable culture sustainable there you go there you go sustainable culture a family type environment yes who what do you trying to build a theme park or a pro basketball team man we don’t I thought all you had to do all you had to do was win to build a family type environment last time because bro man listen we have the talent comes through here like the the whole Willie Green thing like why we not going after coaches that we wouldn’t have went for uh coach Bud that Phoenix had fired vogle Frank vogle who did a better job than Willie did fired Frank vogle who has a championship ring and then brings in a better Coach and Coach Blenheim it’s interesting we could we could not afford to pay coach Bud that kind of money you know because the Pelicans got Willie because of the fact that they still owe two previous head coaches money they ow Gentry they owe stand ban Gundy money so they needed somebody that was going to work cheap which is fine yeah at that time we had Jamal Mosley who came through and got an interview and Mosley got look what he he’s doing with Orlando credit to J Mosley you know there was he got tied but this is why we couldn’t do it because we making a lot of stupid decisions yeah a lot of mistakes and cover those mistakes right and then we got to trade Capital to clean up mistakes of bad contracts or you know stuff like this that’s something that Sam presty he he didn’t do that stuff that’s the difference between what the Thunder did and the t-wolves they didn’t make mistakes like everything for for the most part they basically hit and that’s really probably the biggest thing that’s killing the PS it’s too many mistakes and then like he like like then you find yourself you’re covering up those mistakes or trying to retrack or or you know what I’m saying those mistakes you made and in doing that it puts you in a financial bind which makes you yeah putting you making cheap decisions and it’s like that’s that’s hurting the team that’s hurting the team but that that’s been the big difference I know like cuz I think a reporter asked you know why is it that uh the Thunder you know you know they’re where they are you know what I’m saying and you are and he uh basically Griff was saying um oh well you know they they they were have a different situation than what we had you know uh they they had time to to build I’m like dog you had that same amount of time you have that same amount of time they they didn’t have she got to remember the pressure part they didn’t have no pressure Lex she yeah yeah that that too but I mean the thing is is that you didn’t you didn’t have the same situation that the Thunder had was the same was the same probably the injuries what was the biggest thing but then what you do is instead of playing behind like because every you said this before everything that the Pelicans have done has been delayed they’re like a season two seasons behind like you have to get aggressive like you’re not aggressive enough you know that’s one thing that I can respect about the Lakers they’re aggressive on trying to get better now yeah they they do make mistakes but they are a Powerhouse they have all the money in the world to do that but my thing is is that even smaller teams they’re aggressive they’ve been aggressive on making changes Memphis has been one of them they just had had a year where they were just down they had a down year but for the most part they’ve been competitive they’ve gotten to the playoffs same thing with the t-wolves they they’ve had to make a lot of changes they didn’t have to deal with injuries but it’s like they’ve been aggressive on making changes it’s like the Pelicans like they everything stops like after like for instance they wanted to see collect the data on how this this core would do and how the team would do this year instead of making changes being proactive instead of reactive and I and I get all that but it’s like dude I think it’s fair to say that we saw enough of this of this team enough of this coure even with um the the the amount of games that Brandon played and Zion played I think it was clear like we know what this looks like especially with Willie Green because we we understood his philosophy that dude didn’t change anything he got more he got more wins because guys you know the stars were more available you but that’s the only reason that’s the only it’s not because like you you know obviously Coast your butt off or anything but I mean just this reactive thing and and being delayed and not doing not being aggressive that’s killing us and the fact that grips made poor decisions that again and we’ve heard people say like this organization has a poverished mentality and look what he’s doing he’s going the cheap route which is a huge concern because if everything is coming down specifically and the determining factor is okay we want to take go with a cheaper trade that’s a problem because the thing is we’re not focused on the winning part on okay how can we save money and they’ve been having that mentality that’s a horrible mentality that’s that’s killing the organization like you have to take chances and take bigger risks because this team has not been doing that they’ve been going the cheap route and if you go the cheap route you get cheap results hey I I I agree Lex and you saying that and I man just been contemplating it’s it’s uh for me the Brandon inam trade is darus G Trey Young are another point guard type player playmaker that can come up out of the blue that’s getting traded maybe big cat not sure how I really feel about that if they they’re asking for him to be traded but I wouldn’t be mad if we got him it’s it’s like those guys are nothing um the Jon Murray if we got him I would be I would be okay with it wouldn’t be excited at all looking at it now um I was one of the first people to talk about us traing jont Murray before it was Smoke B us even trade jont Murray remember that yes and that for me was having him with the idea of having Brandon Ingram as well for me um replacing Deon Murray with CJ MC him and bi are Partners I thought they probably could figure out a way to play together he can get bi some of those three-point shots and fix that problem everybody has with bi not threes is we forget when Lon ball was here do was shoo like six threes game nobody ever mentions that he’s going to go to another team and what’s B gonna do with point guard he’s gonna shoot threes but nonetheless probably gonna be out of here I look at it now man and it’s like I don’t think it would do anything we’d be a little better but that ain’t that ain’t the best way to maximize Zion in my opinion and when we set up here and we talked about Trey young that would maximize Daris G that would maximize insert question question mark point guard that shoots great from the three and has extreme playmaking ability that will highlight Zion even Big C you put him at Center you get your stretch five they cannot load up in the paint that will maximize still have to find point guard and he’s making probably more damn money so I don’t know how really this is um to have all that money in the front court but to to go and we try to patch something else here and Patch something else there man I’m just I’m sick of seeing um we’ve done that the whole David Griffin organization with the exception of swinging for the biggest trade which was CJ McCulla which I think we have a very negative image of Mr McCulla um you call him politician some people call him terrorists you know you got the whole nine yards with that but I think him in the right situation with a point guard as I’ve said many times it would look it would have looked different you know but if you bring in a Trey young like I think you almost you got to get rid of them at some point um I don’t think they could play together for long stretches although offensively it be dynamic but the pal cannot continue to make these Thrift St ass moves man like we keep worrying about money but we want to be a organic sustainable winning organization they gota look in Mirror man and look around we in the west we’re in the west um Dallas is going to the finals and guess how many games Dallas won B Q Dallas won the same amount of games Dam W yeah you know what DC that’s a all I got one other point to attach to that but you know our main guy got hurt right in the playoffs so everybody’s like oh okay well if Zion got hurt we could have did with Dallas didn’t know we couldn’t and it’s for the same reason that Zion got hurt we don’t have anybody else that can maximize him and get him easy buckets like man we’ve been saying this since and have anybody else you don’t have got to work hard to get everything yeah and that’s a problem every every shot and every don’t even have to always be gravity let’s just just drawing up plays the right plays putting them in the position to and get somebody to get them the ball there even if they don’t have gra it’s a lot of different ways to do it yeah well then that comes down to coaching too we got a problem there I’m saying it’s like if it ain’t point a it’s point B and point B is a problem for Point C you know what I’m saying no for real but look I mean look there’s the pro look you notice when you look at other teams play it seems like the flow and and the shots that other teams get is just so much easier the game is so much easier the way that they play is so much easier man it’s a struggle and we said this many of times it’s a struggle watching the Pelicans play it’s a struggle like dog why can’t y’all make the right play why aren’t y’all passing the ball why can’t you all pass the ball in the post that kills me why can’t we throw lobs you know what I’m saying like just get easy buckets and I and I understand look about look we don’t want to always be dunking all the time but you know what look at the mths man they doing that stuff all day every day and it’s working for them like why why why do we point guard does but but why do we not want a high percentage shot the best shot on the court is a layup and I think it’s funny because a lot of people complain about that but it’s like that’s the highest percentage shot on the court you know what I’m saying and then a lot of times the the shots that we’re taking either mid-range or behind the arc you know they’re they’re being contest they’re being contested so it’s like that that that that just doesn’t even make any sense we should not be playing this game hard it should be a whole lot easier than what it is well Willie Green wants 40 Shots tonight he prefers 40 shots 43 43 43 Point 43 pointers a night right and the crazy part about it is uh most of those nobody’s underneath the basket to get the rebound for the stick back that’s my I’m like listen if you want to take 403 Point attempts per game at least have a legitimate guy JV was under the baset he wasn’t under the basket enough DC come on man ca he was under the bask for about 22 minutes that’s like me me me and my pops got a a nickname from CJ McCullum we call him CJ mclick because he comes down nothing set and there’s nobody set like guys are running to a to get in position and CJ just go just just just throw the damn thing up he’ll miss it the other team gets the rebound then they’re in transition they have to switch automatically stop and then run the other way so I’m like there there was a lot of times we didn’t see a lot of the kind of new that we wanted to see with that offense that the Pelicans was so yeah you everybody I think Brandon was watching which watching that’s why that’s why he said that the season you know things worked a lot better when we had an actual point guard yes right that’s the thing man and this has been happening for the Pelicans for a while but like and I have to ask this question because people asking me this question we throw this out to you guys y’all answer to the chat too um we know that um Bri with uh Dyson Daniels he was a first round draft pick point guard we have a couple of those family over the last recent years or so Danel down small well well listen we had we had a couple of point guards the Pelicans took in the draft DC we had Kye Lewis Jr we had Dyson Daniels who was taken in the mode of the Lonzo ball thing because remember Lonzo was this guy they like the big guy that can uh that can guard multiple positions for him the one two and then you can put him at three if you needed them he was Defensive inclined they would work on his offensive game but they had shades of Lonzo ball not that the kid is Lonzo Ball but you can see where they were drawing for from with Dyson Daniels because his defense was there Dyson’s defense was there he had a good ability to assist as well and his offensive game was behind how much of this potential point guard situation could be Dyson or is he merely a trade component how serious is Dyson’s future with the Pelicans let me ask you that and to the chat y’all answer in the chat I’mma highlight your comments um I think it’s uh basically dependent on which direction we go of reshaping in this roster right now Dyson to actually be a point guard Q he’s gonna get he needs to get something that I’m not sure we can um give him right now he needs to get playing time he needs to get the the PT to be able to figure that out as well as being coached up to do that I see a lot of Natural Instincts he has as a point guard Dyson is never gonna be a really flashy point guard though but I think he has all the tools to be able to set the offense up to be able to get things done be able throw a few you know allies to Zion he has a really nice floater game you know what he does defensively and he’s an intelligent basketball player dice don’t make a lot of mistakes his biggest knock you have on him is just you know his shot look trash at times don’t go in he uh he’s out there very unconfident you know not really assertive or sure of himself but outside of that you look at him and you like well you know he has the tools to get it done he’s obviously not stupid but it’s as a basketball player but it’s more of uh his heart want to his his uh desire to be great you know you really don’t see those things you just see a awesome point of attack Defender like I told you um Dyson Q you was like oh come on DC you tripping Dyson is a better point of attack Defender than her and when I say that I mean when somebody got the ball and he’s on them oneon-one off the dribble dce is better at that than her but I mean you can find some guys you know like that far as what her does as a Defender let me just break that all down her is special as a Defender you can’t find just another like that um his off his off ball stuff kind of roaming playing free safety that’s what makes him special but dce and clamp people up herb couldn’t just off the dble so I think there’s some potential there but depending on what we do with this trade I don’t I I don’t foresee it because I think the PS are going to go out and I think they GNA get point there they always lack Vision but I think they’re intelligent enough to know which Ain saying a lot it’s real obvious to see to know that they have to go and get a scoring point guard a guy who can actually play make and is a threat you can’t just be okay or good but an actual threat from beon R the only way dice Works q and hear me good because I don’t see how the hell it would happen is if we started Jord whoever’s at the two spot has to scar scared the hell out of people from a three-point and that’s what Trey Murphy also be so where does that leave you gonna play center because that’s the only way I can see it work honestly well we we know trade’s going to start for the pals next year we don’t know exactly how the trade situ do we do we know that really yeah Trey Trey Murphy yes how do we know he’s gonna start for sure because he better start for sure or we you know I’m coming what what if CJ McCullum say uh he should start CJ McCullum is just a player you don’t have a damn thing to do with this he you know we need the we need are you saying are you saying we’re only GNA get a center after getting rid of Brion engam and CJ play the point well let let me just say this Trey Murphy will start because the pals are going to trade bi right and depending on what they get for because they have a lot of options right now they have they have some options that they can go over with different teams because there’s a lot of interest in Brandon Ingram and what you know like I’ve been saying a lot of insiders are saying Pelicans are trying to get as much as they can for be maybe two starters if possible so they might have a particular trade team that really favor him and are willing to give him give them what they what they need so like I said I don’t know if Dyson because I like Dyson DS I think that coach Fred working with Dyson Daniels gets him consistently hitting that shot then you have something special because Dyson’s defense is already there he sees the floor well he assists he just needs more minutes and how do you give him the minut when you got all this other stuff going on you need a discipline uh you have to have a a coach that understands his team and what they what they can give and what they can do but I think Dyson Daniels you know working with Coach Fred because coach Fred remember what he did for Lonzo ball he got his shot together not only restructured his shot but had him shooting the ball really good he worked with herb Jones had herb Jones doing his thing as well so I mean it’s a lot of Plus for Dyson but then again you you don’t know exactly what Dyson is going to end up in terms of he get traded or not you know in this particular trade so I don’t know how it’s all going to turn in the end man but we’ll see bro we’ll see because a lot of these these guys we drafting not all these first round draft pick guys we picking up they’re developing to be starters and and uh like full contributors for the team like when you you bring Dyson Dyson is a is is is is a good a good uh a good young player in so far as he has the size the guard m multiple positions you see he’s a good Defender right now his defense is really solid he’s working on his three-point game and just like you seen Naji Marshall who wasn’t shooting at three like that how he got his percentages up to almost 40% how herb turned into a three and D working with Coach Fred others I can expect Dyson who didn’t have a palm tree ja Jackson Hayes type work mentality this guy actually goes in there he wants to work to get better with those big guards like that and him shooting the three-point seeing a floor playing defense there’s a there should be a role for him but then again I don’t know because he might be included in the trade when bi goes out you I I don’t know how they’re gonna play this thing but but go ahead I know uh you wanted to say something DC I know I had a question I had a question for you yeah you talk about Fred vinon uh shooting coach which I think is is awesome and Bryson Graham actually talked about that in the interview said we have the ability and he kind of tipped his hand that’s why was talking about did you it wasn’t it wasn’t that long I don’t think I think I might may have watched the whole interview it’s probably like a week ago when it first came old video or new huh new video from Bryson Graham it’s it’s the video since he’s uh been G since he actually moved up and got promoted but um you talked about dice working out with Fred Vincent and Brian grah talked about us having an ability to be able to go out and get guys that necessar that not necessarily have the best uh shot because we have FR Vincent in the building and we can fix that shot we have an advantage that other teams don’t have and to Dyson Daniels I would say you can put him in the gym with Fred Vincent you want because actually I think this year his shot didn’t look that b the little hit he had in a lot of that was clearing up the shot kind of look fluid but what FR Vin going to do for confidence and I think confidence for him comes because he don’t he don’t get on the court the man that play good then he have a off game and then you know he might not see him for mop up Duty I mean we was getting waxed we getting waxed in the playoffs I don’t think dice played one minute Q I didn’t understand that like we would get tore up in the playoffs why I just throw the young guys out there to give him some experience we clear not going to win this bro but see but the thing is that that’s what I was saying I said I laid out the stats I mean the facts and the stats like he played 61 games Dyson played 61 games this past season and 59 the one before so you yeah you’re absolutely right and that’s the point about this these guys are how many games you play four minutes all right I’m have to do some exensive research on that one but like I’m saying man it’s it’s that’s why mentioned Willie Green like when we talk it’s all predicated on Willie Green we talked about Edy with them looking at Edy and these other d uh these other centers and these these other players you you can’t some people on their list can’t shoot let me let let me tell you well I mean the whole thing is you would think that the pro how the process works out is that Willie Green is who do you like coach Willie well we gonna take a look that’s what it come give me all your best defenders and I’mma pick my guy we gonna give him and let him work on the tree coach Darnell and let him work with but but this is the thing man what I’m saying about Willie Green that’s what he comes down to Willie Green has to do a better job of understanding this team he has to be able to play these guys and not just sit them there and let them watch they have to get out on the court and be able to contribute like what we seen with Jordan Hawkins last year he was well on his way to being one of the one of these young players that would you know that really was going to do something special with his Point shoo Willie killed all of that he didn’t play him he said I’m GNA do this that and third and we often talk about having Shooters on the team no no hold hold up hold up you can’t speed ball pass that you really called him baby realy I will never forget it made comparisons to him and Steph Curry continue to not play for the rest of the year it’s hard not [ __ ] up you can’t it’s hard not to play I remember that Lex yeah it’s hard not to play him but I’mma do it anyway it’s just that’s what I’m saying when you have you have these assets you have these players well listen these are not undrafted Guys these are no disrespect my undrafted guys but these are firstr draft picks you you taking these guys and obviously you see potential future starter in these guys well Jordan Hawkins is shooting the lights out you got to get them out there you got to play him Willie is not very organized in these rotations man Willie Green does this stuff and he kind of gets stuck we seen it last year with Coach bgo uh stepped in there and did his thing helped him out you’ll see some success and then you’ll see Willie go away from it blindly and going to do something that he’s it’s just it’s an adjustment for whatever reason that he is in his head I don’t get what he’s doing at sometimes it’s it’s like we talked about everything is delayed and you get what you pay for no disrespect coach Willie but you get what you pay for man if if we have a a guy that got some sense you know and and there’s a bunch of these guys out here that are really good coaches that know what they’re doing but the Pelicans just seem to just we want good human beans and dumb dumb David Griffin the octopus running around here talking all this stuff like he like I call the Pelicans a basketball cult who gets up there and talk about good human beings all the time and uses human beings a dozen times a good human beings a dozen times in these rancid uh putrid field speeches about team stability like we building uh a team full of droids or drones or whatever or or Cy you know robots n man we need people who want to win that’s number one that are consumate professionals and we need the right player the need the right neck rather the right coach who understands the team that he has how to adjust on the FL why when he sees things going badly how it just fast and we need him to not be afraid to play these young Co these young players because they’re not going to get it any other way you’ve got to play them we don’t want Dyson we don’t want Jordan Hawkins we don’t want any of our young players to get the Kyra Lewis Jr treatment the KJ treatment remember that and then of course you got other guys that go somewhere and develop and they help their team out like na and others so we’ve seen this happen with the Pelicans and I’m tired of it I’m sick of it if we taking these players and of course we talk about small Market teams and all this type of stuff and financial uh viability you can’t compete with the biggest well if that’s the case look what San Antonio is doing OKC doing they do make mistakes but it’s not nearly the same amount of mistakes that the Pelicans make because the philosophy is weird if is very weird with David Griffin it’s weird he talk I don’t know if I’ve heard him say uh listen we we want a chip he want a we we want a national champ we want a a NBA championship here we want we want we want a trophy we want a trophy you know that’s what I that’s what kind of talk because the Pelicans look what the Mavericks done the Mavericks just shot past everybody and they sitting their asses up there in the in the NBA Finals family and we surrendered first round like the family member like uh Lexa saying DC saying about how the Pelicans would send surrender draft picks to move bad players but we can’t surrender draft picks to get good ones we gave up two picks to move Amir oek off the team we gave up two first rounders to get him out of here to trade him up out of here that bad contract we can send out draft Capital with garbage players but we can’t bring them bring good ones in and that’s what I was saying about the Pelicans leaders ship for years just not smart leadership no disrespect I think they got the right people in there I think David Griffin is a snake all salesman I’ve been saying that the guy is a snake all salesman he’s a d I’m I’m rebranding him is not David Griffin anymore is David grifter that’s his name that’s his goddamn name his name is David grifter and he grifting the hell out of Gail Benson we won 49 games Q what you talking about but that’s not the fam we want we about winning championships you got to understand you got a timeline that you on now with Zion Williamson we have a real I it’s not a coincidence anymore when you have a history of stars that you’ve BR in and these guys are going to go down as some of the best players that ever put on a uniform in NBA history we talking about people like CP3 we talking about Antonio Davis each were draft picks of the New Orleans organization that ended up leaving here to go somewhere else to try to capture a crown now ad got one CP3 I don’t think he got I no he didn’t get one Drew holiday got one Drew holiday is another dude so he’s back at it possibly getting another got to get another one that’s what I’m saying here it start it’s a top down effect man it’s like if you’re gonna draft these players man make sure you get with the goddamn coach and figure out what kind of Center this dude wants because you don’t you’re not going to take Zack Edy who’s 74 a massive player like DC talked about the guy averages 20 points a game uh does a lot of fantastic stuff and then sit him on the bench and then when lar we GNA second half of the game comes out we got Larry n out there running around we listen bro and he’ll straight up do that too he’ll do that he don’t care about bench he bench Jordan Hawkins and the Pelicans need to shoot I mean Jordan Hawkins was uh was up for uh he could have been on the all rookie team cuz he was third behind either Chad or wimy you know what I’m saying I mean yeah he was I mean I I I man that’s that’s horrible that that that opportunity was taken away from him like he really could have uh that would really could have boosted his confidence because he was playing well every time he went out there but when there’s too much Hiatus in your playing time it’s almost like that’s almost a shot every single time at your confidence and then that you know once he started getting in there once he started getting in there it’s like what four minute stretches two minute stretches it’s like first of all he can’t do anything in that time and then second of all it’s like dog you’ve had he’s had such a break of not playing it’s like you just have him on the bench and then you throw them in there all right give me something that’s hard to do that’s just like when k Jay was here you know what I’m saying he had been playing for months and in the playing game he remember he brought him he brought him believe in the most important game like dog this now ain’t the time for that dud dude dude ain’t in no type of Rhythm that’s crazy no you don’t need Rhythm to play defense like that’s that’s what his philosophy that’s what it is easy I mean he’s very that’s how you get on the court you gotta play defense three-pointer well he got the money you know he getting hey you know what hey I wanna I want I do want to say uh whoever we going get cause well if if if the Pelicans get Trey Trey young hey man definitely CJ cannot be in the back can’t be in the back court with him abely not why why why why not but wait let me let me I wanted to make a point about about Hulk white because uh we keep we keep moving man we gotta move in the groove but uh you made an excellent point B hul Because imagine this just put yourself in his shoes you’re a rookie right guys get injured you come in and when you come in and you play your minutes right you’re being compared and you got wi Bama and Chad hog hog it’s the only two rookies that are in front of you you know how good those guys are right yep these are the only two people being talked about ahead of you right you came in you had 30 point games consistently put up 20 something point games 18 something point games right you go on the stretch you had a few little bad games you a damn rookie right you do that your coach Compares you to talks about some of your ability of being like a Steph Curry right and then you don’t play no more what does that do to your confidence I mean what you say leex is true but it’s almost understated I would feel like I’ve done everything right to be able to get playing time after doing that and then when my coach sits me and doesn’t play me at all I’m like what what the hell what did I do like compl your confidence is completely shot because you’re like what what did I do wrong I don’t I don’t understand hold on DC you wrong you are wrong you wrong sir he did play him he did play what on his birthday for four minutes four minutes that man you know what that was that was that was like some kitty man that was like Hey I se I seen you working good let me let me give you some minutes he he that that was a kid move you do that to kids you don’t do that to no grown man that’s a man he might as well not have played check this out though David Griffin David Griffin came out at the end of the year and what did he say which I mean you can’t put a lot of stock but he did say we value Jordan hains and what he can be okay who’s who who’s the Wii though the sustainable organization Wily green is Willie Green Incorporated in that we I think by him saying that is he is almost like okay he’s forcing will hand to play him more next year obviously I don’t think they gonna promote him he should have made it easy for himself and just got rid of Willie and got a better Coach but David Griffin talked about uh potential moves making during the offseason and he held Jordan Hawkins in high teene you know who he didn’t say anything about he a say [ __ ] about guys you know I’m saying so uh could D also be leaving with the Brandon England trade and it may be opens up a ton of minutes for hwk off as well as uh the thing y’all was saying get that too why wouldn’t he work at all with Trey young because we’ve seen CJ play at the two in my opinion I think a lot of the stuff we hate about CJ when he goes to the two guard goes away because he doesn’t have the ball as much when he gets the ball is kind of when you want him to be able to score and it it looks different yeah D but it’s not that DC it’s not that he’s a defensive liability if you remember in the Thunder series they were hunting I remember I mean and obviously if if a Trey is starting depending on who who’s coming here because obviously you know the goal is to get a ball handler I’m not trying to have 33 mil coming off the bench no you need to move 33 made 30 38 came up a bch okay what was he playing for the Golden State Warriors baby okay and how long was he doing that like a a few games no he did that pretty much the whole season almost no he didn’t Chris Paul was never really started no C they they bench uh they Ben uh Klay Thompson they well yeah yeah I mean it wasn’t for the whole season though it wasn’t for the whole season it was for a little a small but it was it wasn’t for the whole season they look like they kind of went back and for DC we was pretty long we talked about off ball CJ off ball CJ is offall CJ is amazing amazing element we don’t run play for think they only started running more play for and everything but you saying that if Trey young is the guy there was no way I mean you can have those two guys is playing in the back court you gonna have that I think you I think you could but it would be more of a obiously unless somebody I think you can no no Trey and if you if Trey’s the guy for bi obviously let’s say straight have you have you seen how how hot CJ could get especially when he gets open looks can you imagine how how wide open some of these three-pointers would be for him with Trey Young Z on the offense will be so powerful man I think it’s almost to a point where um you definitely would have to do that and spurts or stretches or something like you can’t not do that a lineup of of Trey CJ and Trey with Zion and whoever the hell else I don’t even care who El no because it’s I’m not saying all year for for to be starters but I’m just saying that as a lineup yeah in spots I mean he go if if CJ McCullum comes off the bench a lot of people even though CJ M I treat CJ uh what that remember you had Oklahoma Thunder and they had salaf ory Salish whatever his name was James hard was coming off the bench you had Russ you had uh this little I defensive dude you put that for five minutes if he was getting you nothing get G I’m saying don’t get caught up on that because CJ McCullum even though you saying CJ gotta come off the bench he’s still gonna be playing starter minutes I mean coming up off the bench still playing heavy minutes so whether or not that you know start or not but really if it’s if it’s Trey and this is a scenario that if it’s Trey young then to me you already got herb there so it’ll be TR herb back there then you have uh Trey Murphy who’s at three wasion at four whoever the center is going to be draft pick guy or it could be possibly a player that the Pelicans catch and trade because we know there was a situation where they wanted um what’s the what’s the guy name OA I forgot the man u u they wanted him to to be the guy that they go after but perhaps they don’t relinquish him perhaps they say we’ll go uh we’ll give you trade and was uh Clint capella and I know y’all not excited about that my my thing is this man with that I right let me finish my thought because I think in the trade try young scenario that’s what the backc court would look like what it should look like would it be Trey and herb and then you go the rest of the way but CJ to me would be a guy that comes off the bench but still plays starter man minutes he still will be averaging heavy-handed Mo minutes and that will be a temporary fix until the Pelicans get further enough into the season because they’re going to want to play him to keep his his uh stats cooking so he can be a tradable asset you’ll have an expiring contract coming up so he’ll be more attractive in terms of the money of moving it because that’s a lot of bread 33 and the third so event in the interim DC that would make a lot of sense and then ultimately you end up trading them anyway to see if you can acquire uh another player to add to that core that you have with Trey young and Zion and then the third piece comes later I’m sorry now this this is my problem with the whole thing I’ve never been I I gave y’all a lot of flx about the Trey young thing on other show I’m Pro Trey young I I would love it but I just don’t see them giving up Trey young just to take back CJ like it doesn’t make sense to me let me tell you why if you’re Atlanta Tre young is wait take you’re Atlanta listen huh you said you said CJ McCullum Ingram Ingram you mean Ingram okay you said I thought you said make more sense out of it with CJ than not gonna take let me hear Let me let me explain why if you’re Atlanta right Trey young is a superstar man Trey young gives you 25 five and 10 right why would I move up for Tre young I’m already saying $50 million a year to take on Brandon engram who I’mma play pay $50 million a year who are not the same players Trey young is obviously the better player right more I guess defensive liabilities than England if they’re getting rid of tre young man them people want to do a rebuild like n so why would they want get a guy that they got to pay $50 million a year and then on top of that they we could probably could get Clint compella I guess if we can figure out a way to make the numbers work but why would they give a Conway who’s their young big man and well if they get alexar then I guess maybe you keep capella to do that and then you giving away a con right okay I all that capella is expiring right so so capella is an expiring but why would they take back bi for 50 million if they’re trying to rebuild they’re gonna want one of our younger guys to Kickstart the rebuild that they have potential whether that’s Jordan Hawkins whether that’s Trey Murphy or whether that’s her Jones I I don’t see a deal for Trey getting done without one of them unless for some reason they’re just extremely high on Dyson D which I don’t I don’t know if I see that the deal for them for getting Trey young would be to free up all that cap space that he got for them to kickstar a rebuild and for us to give them some picks they don’t want a guy back that may play some meaningful winners and actually want some games for them I don’t see them if they getting rid of Trey young is trying to do that they probably trying to rebuild I think they got rid of Trey young they actually probably gonna get rid of Jon Murray too and then you look at that aspect of it do they see the Jon Murray and Ingram’s games playing together I’m just not sure that’s what Atlanta wants to do I think if they could they would definitely want to do the the Jon Murray trade with us and try to keep the trade thing going and pair him with Rand I think they would be more inclined to do that than to do the opposite without getting a really good young guy that could potentially turn something in case starting they re now if we can go and get it like that man that’d be amazing q but it’s to me it’s like what are they getting out of the deal if they taking a hit talent wise then they would definitely want to recoup all of that money to start their rebuild to build up their team probably have another bad year so they can get an excellent draft pick next year in a much better draft to Kickstart the actual rebuild everybody talk about sending Trey young to the Spurs or sending de Jon Murray back only one problem with that if the GM does that he gonna get F because the the trade they made to get to jont Murray all of that is a epic failure and that GM gets fired if he makes those moves so I don’t see him doing that either well let me add this to it DC because I’ve been looking into the Atlanta thing because I want to know what’s going on with these organizations and what what’s the M the mind frame uh you know the master plan as much as we can find out of what they’re trying to accomplish now in terms of what I discovered about Atlanta is that Atlanta’s not looking to trade both they’re trying to trade one or the other now they both on the trade block but they’re trying to use whoever they get the better chip for the other guy stays is what I’m getting so if they trade try for an asset like Brandon Ingram who would fit well next the The jont Tam Murray or vice versa depending on what they doing because the P’s not thr team in even though they covet bi they want Brandon Ingram but it depends on what package interest why why did you hear that you heard Atlanta CS b i with young no no not with De John what I’m saying is there’s a high interest from Atlanta NBI is what I’m saying there’s a very high interest from what Atlanta looking at and listen I believe that but to keeping with Trey young I don’t I don’t see them want swap hold on what I’m saying is is that it’s either one of those players they’re going to trade now if they trade trade they keep Murray if they trade Murray the the the the thought process is they’re going to keep you know that you see what I’m saying they’re G to try to use one of those players to get a a an asset a major asset to help with the team and then they’ll take the firstr draft pick and put that together remember they got a really good head coach out there so I mean they’re trying to just kind of I don’t know if you called it a it’s not a rebuild as a as a term as reset it’s a reset not how you lose how do you lose the Superstar q and not re well I’m saying I’ve never seen that well I mean Trey young and see they screwed up because remember they had if you lose a superstar it’s a rebuild man like you you can’t go a tier down and and and and player talent and and think that I hear go further I hear you but they’re they’re they’re their mentality is is for what I’m getting and this is what I’m I hope right that you see they’re not trading both even though both are on the Block it’s either if if whoever they gets the best deal for if they trade trade because it look like Trey’s out there if they can move try and get a really good asset to him they can kind of reset the team with and they really like bi to be in with what what I I I I I don’t hear him saying you really like be for trade that’s no no no I didn’t beehive for trade I can see I can see this in the same thing with Cleveland too this go Cleveland especially for Cleveland I can see a world where they would do it for CJ but it probably be more pcks no because you can actually take CJ and I think he’s a better fit with de Jon Murray than bi would be as well as the next year coming up his salary is expiring and then when I look at a guy like uh the jayen kid they got over there I don’t know how does that how does that mess with be their game I wouldn’t say is similar he really like to attack the paint yeah but he play anyway though don’t don’t jayen Johnson play he play he play at the four he play the four and he got some stretch potential he shot 40% from three so that works he like attack the pain though and then you got another Center uh what they start S that first overall pick if it’s the center SAR is gonna start yeah first overall you damn right so so they if they starting s then the hell with all that veteran leadership and they gotta move CL capella at 2 something right gonna come off the bench for 20 something no they we gotta take we gotta take on Trey young and Clint capella right Right Moving VI no and extending Trey Murphy that’s a lot of money bro that’s like $70 million well that’s why maybe 60 and a half that’s why the Pelicans don’t want Clint capella they want uh UK we G we gonna repackage Clint capella and send him somewhere I mean you what what if those people don’t want to give you a like we we can’t trade where we get everything that we and don’t give give up everything we want to give up all saying got give up something we don’t wna give up they like bi a lot there’s a lot of teams that like bi Atlanta likes bi they might be extra motiv right but Cleveland right now is coming out saying that they’re going to try make that Philly don’t have nothing you want they’re not giving up Tyrese Max say I’m just saying teams that yeah they got a lot of people that like they they say he’s there plan b i saidu what he must be drinking some green water something that they got like we just wait around out people don’t have make us some type of go offer if y’all got a shot right so that’s what I’m saying it’s like EI either some of there’s other traits that’ll this stuff will be presented but you can all only go off of basically what’s out there right now and and doesn’t make sense you know for both te because we know that if you look at what New Orleans is doing they’re gonna attempt to try to get two for the price of one like they’re G to try to get two starters if they can a a starting center uh there and a compliment player to what we got going on with Zion so I can see them trying to do that a lot of people like the Trey young scenario because he’s a superstar uh putting next to Zion he has his own gravity which he you know Zion got his Ultimate Gravity and you can imagine if you got a Trey young at the point guard position him shooting the ball he one of the best Shooters in the game you can only imagine what that looks like and you still got herb and Trey who are also pretty good Shooters as well so you form an ultimate group of three-point Shooters off that’s special looking but it it’s a it’s a it’s a price tag for that but the smarter move to me would be and I’m not about the Cleveland thing right now would be the jontay Murray move that makes a lot more sense because he’s cheaper uh I like nope I like the jonte Murray I like and we would we would do exactly the same thing we’ve been doing no we ain’t gonna be doing the same thing how you doing the when Murray play he could play the point guard he excel at a point guard position what you talking about you talking about CJ M oh Murray Murray is selles at the point guard position yes he does yes but he’s not he’s not like when you compare him to get a Darius gar Trey young bro is is is not the same and the reason I’m saying that is be reason I’m saying that is because who we have as the Catalyst for our team who will be our number one player in Zion I don’t think he’s the best fit Zion no Deon Murray isn’t the best fit for Zion he doesn’t maximize what Zion does and what Zion would need he don’t he can shoot from the three right but he’s more of a he can’t shoot from like them dudes bro he not like that from three like them dudes he he shot pretty well last year 38% but I you watch him his whole career we’ seen him in San Antonio wouldn’t be mad if we got him he definitely we can do something but we’re still in that same level it doesn’t Elevate us to compete with all of these other teams in the west especially once we get to the playoffs I mean deante Murray had a 44 point J q but it took him 44 shots like I like his dog I like his mentality I like his defense like his ability to uh facilitate but I want a goddamn three-point assassin to pair with Zion somebody that can generate some type of ability to scare the [ __ ] out of the other defense that’s what I want to pair with Zion that is the best matchup that is what takes us into the future that is what helps us compete with these other teams it’s gonna be offense I don’t give a [ __ ] about defense pairing with him because I’m looking at with with uh what MAV did you looked at how the Timberwolves failed you look at a team like Boston you know uh man you you you got to get it from the perimeter man we need a star at the perimeter we don’t have Trey Murphy can potentially be that and maybe a star we need somebody there that can threaten a team with that three-point shot and has excellent playmaking ability bro that’s what I want Trey young is the best live threat in the league Dar is G not so much but he’s a he’s a better playmaker in my opinion than Deon Murray way better it’s a whole another Stratus with just Dar no I agree with that M slow slows us down he likes to take some of the same shots that we complain about with be even though more hold on before you go too far let me stop you right there let me comment on what you just said because you said a lot let me just and then you can pick up the four all I’m saying is I don’t dis I don’t disagree with the Trey thing I think the Trey young thing is probably what the Pelicans are considering because they’re going to have they they have some difficulty attracting a you can the only way with they they could acquire a player like a Trey young is via trade if bi is the ticket that gets him here David Griffin is g to look at that very hard because he wants to make a splash he wants to make a splash trade that will excite the family base and getting Trey young here and pairing him with Zion Williamson that’s a very exciting move because he is a superstar he does make what 10 million dollars more a year than Zion makes he makes like $43 million a year and he’s one of the best shooters in the NBA and it’s not just a shooter the guy assists the ball really well he averag was D he was a double digits in the assist so you make a a good point on that what I was talking about the jonte Murray is on the economical side he’s a guy that averages 22 points a game last year he’s a guy that can play defense he can shoot the threes not nearly no it’s different levels in terms of his three-point shooting I’ll give you that but it’s not like the Pelicans a void of three-point Shooters we don’t have to three it all out we have three-point Shooters we got a true long as I see people building walls to stop Zion and him getting hacked every goddamn playing three people on we need more Sho we need polarity at the three-point line bro that’s the only open up the floor for Zion to be the way we want to be without you got three point shooters you got three point shooters you got you you you got three point shooters you got heard line that I got goam problem got gotta play you got three point you got you got Trey the John T Murray is not a bad three he’s not no there’s very few that’s actually Trey young I give you that that can light it up like him he I’m talking about somebody like that you see how bi is a master of of that little midrange and he just going I want somebody like that from three-point line we got potentially One In Trey like you said and Jordan could be one also I I think he’s really special as a movement shooter but we don’t call offensive plays for the man to move much uh because he ain’t in the game um I want somebody like that that’s legal from three-point line if you got a force I just see it as we need to have a way to completely open the floor up for um the more I look at this Thunder series and I saw what they did to us that’s why I’m I’m I’m just beating the drum on this point bro they they did it in an inverted way they had check out there that you got to respect they had Josh giddy who would be I got version of her Jones knocking down the shot you had Williams actually hitting it and Shay can hit the three but he was actually just allowed to operate what he wants to operate all in the mid-range and get to the rack while everybody else kept it open for him bro if you got a Zion you need somebody that would not allow you to just wall off you know uh of being Zone to what a dude got to fight through all that traffic to get what he wants to on court it’s either that or we go with muray and pray to God Z shoot three points because it’s going to be a similar thing we GNA deal with when we deal with all of these uh the good teams now we’ll run through the league I ain’t gonna hold you br we get to joh Murray I think we will win more games than we did last year in the regular season but when we get in the playoffs it’s gonna be the same [ __ ] q and Zion probably gonna get hurt again trying to carry us because ain’t nobody taking the pressure off of him or or nobody can utilize his gravity properly because the utilize the gravity that Zion creates you need a three-point assess you need somebody behind that three-point line when they keep trying to wall him off and stop him from getting to the the hole they could light they ass up from three the most uh exciting games that we had and the best we’ve looked is when the Pelicans was playing um CJ they had Trey out there a lot you saw Hulk getting in the games and it was bombing from the three-point line with Zion out that team ain’t know what to do we need to make that every night goddamn thing yeah I I see and let me comment on that let me give a few shout outs shout out to the fam listening man y’all hit the like button man as talking Pals today man shout out to the fam man PPR representing uh shout out to the Twitter family the twitch family Facebook and Instagram shout out to you good to see y’all T Mama I see you baby what’s popping B Frank uh bla blazel boys shout out to you fam appreciate y’all as and listen man shout out to the fam uh that’s uh tuning in man a lot of them checking out the comments y’all a lot of great things we saying but I I think it’ll be between these guys now theel the CLE this is the thing about the versatility of your team I understand the insatiable need to want three-point shooting everywhere but at the same time I we are if if you have a Murray it’s a he’s a he’s a e economically works for you he’s a versatile player 22 and a half points per contest uh he a 46 point shooter a 46% shooter from the field 36 from downtown but you know and his numbers went up like that’s his these number averages that he had this year with Atlanta was like career highs a lot of the stuff that he was doing was career highs or close to the career highs that he had previously so he had a stellar year the reason why I like the jonte Murr is not just economics it’s the fact that I think that he would fit with a Zion Williamson in the trade Murphy and a herb Jones the kid can play defense he can guard multiple positions which buys into the switch all philosophy and you don’t compromise the defense now I understand Trey and this is the thing that probably will depending on who gives the best package for Trey young but that’s probably the deciding factor because of the star power the Pelicans have become much C television if Zion and Trey Murphy are pared no doubt about it that that that is a major component to this like well de jont doesn’t move the needle in terms of excitement in terms of not just that what point guard yeah but I got that but I’m what I’m saying lob factor I got you on that D because he would definitely find Zion with the lobs a it’ll be Lob City eight easy points every game right I give you that but what I’m saying about Murray when I’m making the case for Murray like you made the case for Trey I’m making the case for Murray just have contrast here he does he like I said he’s a guy you don’t surrender the defense because there is a defensive liability issue with Trey young you had all that explosive offense the lobs and all that but he does give up things on the other side bu like a give you know a give and get it’s a sacrifice there but dejonte Murray 22 points a game jont Murray was getting his ass wack defense too but still in old DE jontay Murray man is a is a solid defensive player he might have had a few off games here or there but he’s still a solid defensive player he’s a good player scores and he also can play some good defense and he also buys into this he can be put into the switch the switch all mentality that will with Willie Green loves so much so he does plus you could be able to you could be able to maybe get another it’s the switch all brother you know Willie loves his switch all mentality team you want to get to a mismatch go right ahead We’re not gonna stop you we’re gonna just switch and help you get the mismatch you want i’ I’ve said that for some time now about the switch all philosophy that Willie Green likes to use there it’s very it’s stuff you you can’t switch all all the time you can’t do that because if you switch in everything you’re going to switch into mismatches that benefit your opponent so you can’t switch that crap all the time you can’t pull that on everybody you got to have an alternative philosophy just don’t have the right players be you gotta have the right you gotta have the right you gotta have an alternative philosophy when you meet a team that’s really good at Swit all that you can’t do a damn thing with and that’s what I’m talking about Willie Green IQ wise has to improve because that’s some of the stuff that he missing on he should have gained that ground from James bgo and probably James bgo is he’s mentioned as a potential assistant coach for JJ Reddit Who The Insider said was named you know below the scenes is really the guy that they GNA want to have the job he’s already assembling assembling in staff according to reports and bgo is yes yeah bgo wait wait wait wait bgo is going with who bgo is could be a potential coach on JJ Reddit staff bro you this why why would J why would why would bgos leave money uh money yeah the Lakers are offering a lot of money money way way more than the Pelicans sit behind a coach that he know he better than again yes because the guy gonna get if he gets fir job well you don’t know you ain’t been paying attention to Elvin gent when when have when have the Lakers ever fired somebody and promoted a coach from within their organization without going sign they they always sign another coach they don’t promote from within for a head coach job if that was the case they should they would have promoted a Jason kid that they had sitting right there no that that buch other people that they had they had Mike Brown over there they [Music] could hold up you forgetting with the situation that happened with kid they had the the his the the dirty laundry aired of his marriage situation around that time that muddy the wat on a potential thing with him getting give a [ __ ] about that you and no but that’s later on that had died down we we we spoke on that and we said we was still war you know look look what but thing is DC like I’m saying I’m I’m just filling in the the the the History part of it so you know so I’m going back to that like we talk about bgo and it’s also the Cleveland thing Cleveland’s looking for a coach and James bgo is one of the guys that’s mentioned there and a lot of people think that he would be a good coach to have in Cleveland but this is all stuff this is all stuff that’s going on and and they’re all working it out right now now the question is who do the Pelicans get to replace James brgo if anybody do who do the Pelicans get it don’t even matter because will Willie ain’t gonna use them he didn’t use bgo godamn Le what I’m just saying like the thing is you GES when will was hurt we never looked at off Willie was on out one game DC that was one game he had c19 he missed one it was I think it was two q no was just one it was it was one yes yeah tell them Le that one game that one that one game counted for three games in my book it was that game counted for the whole season because prior to that game they were looking trash on offense because the shows doing the show y’all remember the shows that we were doing we were saying where is this vaunted offense that they were talking about they had installed where is that they look nobody saw it nobody saw it then when James when James coached that one game against Dallas first game against Dallas the the the team was horrible and then the second game against Dallas with bgo it’s like it’s like it was a it was a totally different team yeah totally different team y I mean they played like it’s like wow you see the bgo offense but when Willie came back obviously you know um James he was able to get them started you know get them playing well but then after a while when Willie came back you know they went back to playing you know oh you know we we know Willie coaching coaching them now that’s how they were playing like it’s a huge difference and I think with with bgo He’s Able if it’s his offense because that probably irritated Willie too the fact that they called the bgo offense but the thing is if it’s your offense and you’re and you’re uh acting as head coach it’s easy for you to get guys in the places that they need to be at compared to a someone who’s secondhand trying to tell you okay you need to go here here and here cuz obviously Willie wasn’t going to have it where James is out front telling the guys where to be at where they need where they need to go I think that’s a huge difference I mean if it’s his offense then who better to lead that offense you know as head coach than bgo and it’s his offense that you’re running I know yeah that and that one game changed how everything looked for the Pelicans for the rest of of the year because they were really struggling offensively and they looked the same like they did before after that game everything changed the floor of the game how they were playing it was all different after and it caught on and it it kept going but like I like I said it’s it’s one of those things where he would have to find another assistant coach to come in there and and help him out on the system but you know I don’t I don’t I don’t know like I said it’s all all this is dependent upon how Willie Green utilizes these players it’s up to Willie Green I mean he has to do a better job he has to improve as a head coach he has to if the team is going to take the next step because he’s gonna have to man look at some of the coaches who teams are where they are you got Dallas coach we know that I mean you know who Jason kid is Mike Missoula took over for them that guy just picked up the mentality he was a basically a unknown and he just benefited from when um what’s his name uh from Houston got caught up in the cheating scandal when he was messing around with the Emy odok he got caught messing around with one of the owners wives or something whatever the crap that was going on craziness they got him up out of there moula took over the team never turned around so I mean these you know you need a coach even if it’s a guy that you might not know you got to have somebody with a high basketball IQ that understand how things work who who who understands the very least his roster his players and have confidence enough to play the guys you know that’s not stubborn who you know it’s just it’s that’s what we’ seen from will and maybe that’s a part of the learning C for the Pelicans to start we start talking about championships fam I want a championship man I’m not content with just making the playoffs man and then you get burned out of here four and a0 I mean don’t New Orleans we want a we want a championship we have Zion Williamson one of the most polarizing players in the game we got a physical therapist that actually got him through a full you know almost a full season and that was the first time they had I told somebody that they thought I was kidding we a have a physical therapist before like nope he’s like with athletes shouldn’t you have a physical therapist on staff and I said you would think that wouldn’t you and said you know what the Pelicans need to do they need to hire another one hire two of them if we can if we did that well with injuries how another goddamn physical therapist it’s just astounding it’s some amazing where are the minds here where are the mind and and we got to carry for but I want a championship here and you know and we’ll see what it takes man but Willie Green is the key to all this and I know Lex don’t like that but Willie Green is the key to the Pelicans future fortune in terms of them getting to a where we see Dallas at Dallas is in the finals fam Dallas that’s from our side our division they’re gonna bring the crown home to the Southwest Division watch and big that’s just not me that I think that’s everybody everybody knows that that dude can’t coach that ain’t just a me thing I mean the thing is he got to step it up and stop being stubborn just like you know woo said like he he’s stubborn in his ways and he he’s willing to go with um a plan or situation or whatever he’s trying to do he’s trying to go with that to the death whether it works or not and that’s what the problem is it’s like dude if it’s not working change it it’s okay to change it like he has a huge problem with that you know just saying like if it ain’t broke don’t fix it I mean like thing things get broken with you like you have to be okay with changing things if it doesn’t work that’s why I keep saying he has a Checkers mentality and not a chess mentality there’s a huge difference you got to make the adjustments when necessary and not keep going to something that does doesn’t continue to work yeah I I man let me tell you it just it’s it’s really on him fam that’s what it comes down to figure out what how far this team go 49 wins and a and out in the playoffs this a distasteful disrespectful 4 and0 thrashing of the lead man that can’t happen so now here we go it’s we are res setting the team again resetting the core Brandon Ingram gets traded depending on what he gets I know what you’re saying DC uh but Cleveland let’s address the Cleveland thing right quick the Cleveland C about Cleveland well we gonna address this right now that Cleveland the situation with them are saying that um they’re trying to keep the core together so even if they I sound like you undressing it no no no listen let’s just talk about it a little bit because this was something I was reading up on yesterday that Cleveland is uh they’re trying to work to keep the core together that’s Jared Allen and also darus Garland although some people believe that if that ised the case gin’s gonna Force his way out of there but he’s they’re attempting to keep them together and they’re trying to I guess the the philosophy is they’re going to try to bring in the coach and I know Kenny Atkinson that’s another dude that was out there we were talking pretty good coach that’s a good coach man I like I like his rotation and and things he did um with with uh with the Nets that was a really Nets deep team and and he kind of managed a lot of their minutes and the way he played guys I thought probably as well as you could because they play in the playoffs against some some Heavy Hitters obviously they didn’t go too far but I mean this was a team that their best player or the star was D’Angelo Russell and just the fact that they were there and putting up a good fight man I thought that was a testament of uh them being a pretty adequate coach but he’s been trying to get a head coaching job man it seems been like two or three seasons yeah he’ been sitting on that on Golden State bench yeah that’s that’s crazy um he came pass some jobs it might have been jobs that he didn’t want I’m guessing maybe right that he didn’t want to take because I think he he probably definitely a better Coach than Willie Green I remember us advocating for him before Willie Green was you know a few guys were adva for like Charles Lee as well with the B so I thank God he got a job with Charlotte now so we see how that turns out like you said Mark Jackson I think Doc Rivers was available at the time that might have before he went with Philly right they they tried Doc Rivers Doc Rivers turned him down for um he was was a money I think you said yeah he went because I remember they tried to get him if I’m not mistaken I think he went to Philly because they tried they approach Doc Rivers he turned him down and went to Philly I think that would have worked good here man doc River seemed like a guy that Z probably would have took too well um he probably would have had enough enough Feist to miss to deal with Brandon Eagle too I think that that would work pretty good definitely better than what we wound up getting but um I don’t buy with Cleveland the reason I don’t buy darus Garin always already said he wanted off right um Jared Allen they’ve already determined that him in m not gonna work everything right now we’re hearing man it’s the beginning of the summer we go through this every year a lot of the stuff we hearing is complete and utter total [ __ ] smoke SC this is their attempt yeah this is their attempt to drive up the price their packages whatever there that people are calling and inquiring abouty get these guys I don’t think maybe they feel like they can get more so they come the PR department and the media Department drumming up these dumbass stories that don’t make sense to try to drive up the price and to get you to believe that they’re delusional you know what I’m saying so you can try to let me give him a little more to just cim away but I don’t think we gonna hear any real true uh truth from teams on where they stand what they trying to do uh who they really going to get of and what that really means until we look at the draft the draft is going to tip the hands of a lot of these moves because once you see the type of personnel that they bring in I mean it don’t matter what they saying you know okay let’s say Cleveland does want to get rid of Jared Allen right you don’t think they gonna draft a center even if they don’t they draft one in the second round like they’re going dra something they gonna get rid of so certain things that teams do during draft is going to tip their hand on whether they are really this damn crazy what they saying or if they just you know we trying to drive up uh drive up the price it might be a trade they trying to execute on draft night putting the story out you know because it just don’t make sense to me man they’ve been trying to trade Jared out for teams like almost two and a half three years now all of a sudden you want keep the whole Court together that [ __ ] don’t make sense Baris darland PR team or clutch Sports already came out and said that if Donovan Mitchell stays they he’s gone right right so it’s like they’ve already deleted Cleveland’s leverage in in moving him which is why a lot of teams don’t like dealing with clutch force and it has me curious about the deante Murray trade as well because he’s a clutch Force f um they don’t trade DC come on but I’m saying that they they don’t what but they don’t BS on every trade I mean they have certain situations that I’ve seen them if players felt like they can they wanted out to a more lucrative situation I’ve seen them do that they get aggressive but in terms of but players yeah they they for the for the players but uh as an organization you don’t like them they’re more difficult to deal with obviously because right but you do change players do change their minds at times you know they just say you know what you’re right do this and and there is some give and some give and get right there some I don’t see it working though it’s it’s a undersized back cour you can’t have in my opinion you got dudes like that you can’t have two that are undiz you’ve seen some reiterations of that that work but like for the long ha shortterm yeah you you can do it like that’s why I’m a proponent the the CJ McCullum Trey Young Thing ins spurts I’m not saying he gotta be a starter I love for him to go to but I’m a realist at this point I’m tired of wishing and hoping I got high off of hopium like two years ago man I was old on shitel and uh still selling it huh youing trying to tell people of all these magnificent ass trades where we gonna get everything wonderful and we ain’t gotta give up [ __ ] that’s not what I said oh no I no no I’m not selling h b big Q was a majori dealer back in the day yo let me tell [ __ ] in by the from your native you you you Micky bringing that [ __ ] in Bylo let me tell buy but now the Jared now listen you the darus Garland thing you’re absolutely right on that he he definitely doesn’t want to be there with Donovan now like I said they do reserve the might right to change their mind now the Jared Allen thing it’s a little different you’re right they tried to trade Jared before but then they had hit they got hit with a bunch of injuries he stayed and then he just started balling for him he was putting up all these heavy stats and all this kind of stuff could have changed things a bit but he got hurt and they didn’t like the way how he handled it a lot of people thought he could have played with that injury a lot of the players thought so that he could have played that kind of made them feel a certain kind of way so I think you can’t have a player that’s always In Perpetual smoke there’s fire somewhere around there So eventually I think they will get Jared Allen going but it makes sense because the Pelicans have a public interest in Jared Allen he’s one of the players that the Pelicans interested in and they feel like he’ll be a good person to bring here to play us now darus Garland DC you I know you uh he’s not exactly Trey Murphy but I do like his his uh his uh his temperament very exciting man Murphy Young no yeah Trey young I’m sorry you DN right about that go ahead DC go ahead keep going keep going one boy all right so all goddamn books you got back there you to know that why you turn your damn camera on all that talk that hallway all I’m over here by a palm tree right now man I can’t you sure that [ __ ] in in the hallway somewhere that boy in the hallway in Jamaica somewhere a palm tree boy Walmart we keep the palm trees inside over here you know what I’m saying okay light automatically gets in boy y’all want some Hollywood in the house all the time all so talking about beq selling who your major hopium dealer I said yeah I’ve been buying it from you buying boy not by the truck that boy had by ship Lo had the ship backing up to the to to the house man we had people o oing on that [ __ ] man you know but after about two years we felt bad we was like n we gota we got this epidemic this look like crack in the 80s right now man we got to fix this no that but listen man we no we not selling hope David Griffin came in is George Bush seni here BR that boy came in like Oliver North what you talking about that boy came in like Oliver North man I know no Reagan that uh Griffin came in as like oliv not selling all that hopan man and word salad on the side that oh man that’s excellent comment by my man what up brother look what he put up there I can’t really disagree with that [ __ ] Bo David G help the Lakers more more than the Pelicans at this point yeah that man the Laker Agent Man been helping the Lakers since he been here that’s his job besides trying to re relocate us wow wow it’s po man well listen we we we got to grow some brains around that’s what we’ve been saying for some time or now about the Pelicans from a high IQ standpoint basketball IQ standpoint the top two people that run the organization are not Savvy in basketball they’re not Gil doesn’t know basketball and Dennis laia who’s the president of basketball operations don’t know a damn thing about basketball but don’t feel bad because he don’t know a damn thing about football and he’s the president of the Saints the same way same organ organization same crazy structure the highest basketball mind is David Griffin we need and like we got swin up there and listen I’m because I think David Griffin you can make mistakes at the VP level but listen man it’s too much salesman crap that goes on with David Griffin we want to see results David Griffin’s been here for how many years four is it four five years now he’s going into his fifth year how long has he been it’s been five years five years right before Zion was drafted it’s results time you know he like well we got 49 no no man you resetting the core let me let me put this to make people understand this we got over 200 people watching y’all hit the like button the guy resetting the core so when he came in his idea was to have bi Zion and then he put CJ with him traded for CJ and he threw Larry Larry Off the Bench the real it is he’s resetting the core this is year five we’re resetting cord what are we building on here we gotta we just started really seeing what Zion could do they got a physical therapist a lot of the stuff that David Griffin is doing is like a new general manager it’s like the I mean he he’s a VP but it’s like a new dude that is just going through the motions of making mistakes y’all hear what I’m saying this guy’s supposed to be in a a general manager at another place and he’s he got the job based on on the fact that he has a championship rank but y’all know and I know if you do the research on that you know how he got that Championship rank with Cleveland that was LeBron James LeBron James does the same thing he does in every organization he’s a he’s a he’s a de facto general manager when they bring LeBron in there you if you bring LeBron on your team LeBron James is gonna come to the owner or whoever the top decision maker is and they’re gonna say LeBron would do you need and LeBron will tell them what they need not the other way around he’s going to tell them I want you to get this that’s how he had Tristan Thompson that’s what he did with Griff right that’s G yeah Griff is taking credit of uh the championship but it’s like dude LeBron told you exactly who go get right you know what I’m saying I mean you know you didn’t do anything you were just in the position where you were you know you were the beacon you know you were you making making uh you know making the trades happen but it wasn’t you you weren’t thinking of okay we need this guy we need this guy and that’s why he probably that’s why he’s a control freak you know what I’m saying he he just wanton yes people around well we off professionally call him the octopus because he is a micromanager yeah and is all over the place so that’s why Bri gave him P PTSD for real you know what I’m saying’s man you’re right but but but that’s what I’m saying Lex the whole thing is like you look at youn verus just winning yeah wants to win know y’all wasn’t he wasn’t talking like that up there he wasn’t talking about no doing this no basketballs smack all B talking that [ __ ] humans and all this kind of rhetoric he wasn’t talking he wasn’t trying to build a basketball C he W building a basketball C about good human beings and sustainability that’s that’s that’s gobby goop man yeah same thing with culture that’s cheap talking about you know the M Miami Heat culture but the thing is you know how you build family and culture and and all that other and good human beings start focusing on winning the winning has to be the foundation if winning is the foundation everything’s gonna come along with it the culture the family hey let me tell you something everybody get along when you winning yes when when when you have winning that is the culture our culture is winning you know what I’m saying I mean it it’s it’s not this stuff is not complicated I just think the the it’s the focus is on everything but who drafted Dion Waiters I just ask question who drafted who who who drafted kye irvan you gota give him a little credit he does amaz he does amazing at layup pick D got the same godamn that’s a goddamn layup I’m just saying man like if you look no you’re right Lex you want to build that credential of that one Championship he holding on to that thing for dear life like do you were not that dude you were not that dude you are trying to pump yourself up and that’s proba interviewed him when they brought him in like he used that he was on NBA TV talking up well you know this is what I would do I’m like oh dog I know exactly what you doing because you hoping that Gail or somebody from the suck sees you on NBA TV saying oh well that’s what he was doing he just came from the cows yeah he just came from the cows you know hey let let’s go check out what David Griffin got gotta say since he got ideas and things check out uh Mo uh uh brother Mo said that he drafted Anthony Bennett though boy you can’t make this up that’s like one of the worst draft picks ever in history yeah that dude and he also he also drafted didn’t he who he was number one I don’t who went you know what I’m I’m G look up who else win that draft he drafted Willam when LeBron you remember that and then they traded him for Kevin Love and that turned into a championship that’s that was something that because they wanted somebody was proven right LeBron LeBron bro listen because it don’t make in his sense look at the moves that he making now if he was doing all of that you would see them type of moves being made right now it’s been five years and I mean the mistakes like mistake number one coming into the Pelicans I’m not gonna lie I think we had made similar moves what they did in Cleveland no he I’m not talking about that he did have a LeBron but it’s not the same here if you look at I’m talking about his record coming here he’s F coming out of the gate he kept Elvin Gentry he should have fired Elvin Gentry then he end up firing him anyway at the first year then he brings in does he bring in a coach after that no he doesn’t what he does do his homework he wouldn’t got Stan Van Gundy Stan Van Gundy ain’t coaching years he was talking about basketball and then prior to that he was a general manager tearing up the Pistons the guy had coached in years and made him a coach check this out VP would never have done that bro and then after he he draft he drafted Andrew Wiggins right do you know who went number three in that draft who y lmb was about right yeah see this is but this is the thing they were they were worried they were worried about his injuries because you know because they both went to Kansas yeah yeah and they paid off for him though eventually he did get you know he was able to make it through it but I’m saying in terms how would Cleveland look with with with uh Jo right now know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t I don’t know if Cleveland had the patience to wait form like Philly did they had the whole process thing going they had had Jal they had Jalil okaf for they drafted so I mean they had a lot of stuff going on up there but listen this is what I’m trying to say about what’s going on with oh we got got a Super Chat Q yeah yeah just a second DC we gonna get it um the second move like I talked about the Stan bang Gundy siren because that wasn’t that wasn’t no TR and langon that wasn’t Tran saying hey man let’s go get Stan Ban guny that was David Griffin man and he gets him he fails after one year and then as opposed to Pelicans having enough money to go and get a credible coach they had to then settle for a cheap Coach no disrespect Willie but they had to settle for a cheap Coach we ain’t seen the contract Q that’s true too after firing two coaches in two years fam listen to what I’m saying hey lack of stability they fired two coaches and two years of David Griffin taking over the team does that sound like somebody that knows what he’s doing lack lack of stability telling y’all has not been there if you look at if you look at J you know you know what I’m saying or even with a they all have the same coach like they they and hey that’s what I mean by the situation that you come into matters that’s a lack of stability that’s three different coaching Styles three wow he ar ar aren’t doing that especially if you’re talking about this being a small Market team like look maybe the the the bigger Market teams they can do that jump you can’t do that if you a small Market though you have to have that stability set in place that’s why I keep I keep saying man look you going to dra have a generational Talent like Zion man the organization was not not ready to draft somebody like that they weren’t prepared for him you know what I’m saying like you you have to be ready for something like that and they just I I mean just from a stability standpoint they just didn’t have it what do you think they would have to do to hold up let’s read the Super Chat though man we got my manay wee DC you can read itate the5 said LOL I forgot drafted Bennett that alone is gr for termination I could I could agree more man and I was looking at that 2014 DFT was in that D too that boy would drafted Joker number one about I know heed Kevin no a’t got this goddamn Vision go ahead Le I’m sorry it’s crazy it’s C no she’s still there it’s C it’s crazy the whole situation that yeah because you because we sit here we’ve been doing the Pelican post game report for a long time fam we’ve been doing it for a long time and the the issues like we seen where the Pelicans came in because we we catalog all of this stuff about all of the the bad management the Pelicans had some [ __ ] general managers over the years and Dale Demps was probably one of the worst even the late great commissioner David Sterns in you know said this guy don’t know what he’s the worst GM in the history of basketball him yep said that and Dale DS was awful but the Pelicans set up there and kept that man for years because they don’t know nothing about no basketball and it’s the same thing David griffa comes in here and then he sets up this whole little situation about him being accountability and all this stuff and he wants to basketball wasn’t talking like that in Cleveland was talking about have a bunch of good human beings and all this kind of nonsense and all this rhetoric forget all of that five years in that’s when we need to start looking at this it’s now a reset for the core that he set up now here we go again so like I said we got to hold his feet to the fire and that’s why TR and langon was trying to get out of here we talked about that for some time I like every opening VP opening tring Ling trying to get the hell out of Dodge why because L ain’t gonna get no he not he a’t give a [ __ ] that job could have been in godamn article somewhere putting in putting in application even the media they wanted to talk to David Griffin over him they forgot he was the general manager you know I’m the general manager of the Pelicans right now and you know what the main mainstream media forgets I think they even forget that hey Griff is not the GM that and that that’s same position as as uh what’ you say DC I said that’s gonna stay like that why DC go ahead why is it gonna stay like that he a they he’s more quieter than uh he’s more quieter than than Landon yeah that’s what Q was said you got a guy that’s quiet and when I watch when I watched the interview that I told B to play he still a played uh I understand why he quiet but see again he can control though y’all man like like you said he micromanages like he he doesn’t he doesn’t really he he ain’t trying to see another another LeBron he ain’t trying to go head tohe with somebody with that type of personality and if you look at the personalities that’s why I was talking about that we need a different type of Personality on this team in this organization you know what I’m saying because there’s too many guys with the same personality quiet collected real really uh mild mannered look you gotta let that go like we we we we need we need some different types of personalities we we could use a little bit of friction like because the thing is if you look at the championship teams you always like when they went at it it’s because they were passionate about winning the thing is this team everybody’s all laid back and jump it’s like y don’t feel nothing like we we need to feel we need to have an attitude feel a certain kind of way like dog losing is not cool dog you about to get sweat like y’all don’t feel a certain kind of way about that come on man put forth A Better Effort go out there with energy look you may you may not have your best player you may not have like the guys that you need out there but at least go out there and ball you know what I’m saying like energy energy plays a huge part I know coaching does too but it’s like come on guys like at some point time you got to get tired of like man look we we we’re getting embarrassed in the media don’t nobody respect us let’s think about what Draymond Green said let’s think about what uh Jimmy Butler was saying yep oh you know ain’t nobody worried about the Pelicans that don’t make you feel a certain kind of way like again that calm cool and collected attitude it it’s not it we need some personalities that are edgy like do like I ain’t trying to lose I am not trying to lose like look man man we got to go out here and do something man something like but but attack be on the attack mode something but you can’t just lay down and be like a we’re losing so we’re not going to show any fight that’s a problem yeah that’s that’s true Lex because they did say that even though we took care of business against Miami uh Draymond Green doubl down on comments about the Pelicans he said some some uh people view it as negative actually time has shown that it was actually true he said the Pelicans he said during the year last year when they were playing games that the pel the Pelicans are not cut like that then he came back during Allstar uh break and said ain’t nobody worrying about no goddamn pelicans and Chuck Chuck uh Chuck Barkley said what you say said ain’t nobody woring about no pelicans and he changed it to so he kind of waved them off and that’s because it take you got to have that kill Instinct you gotta have that and the Pelicans where was this kill Instinct during the back down of the year like the Pelicans like it took multiple tries to get to the play in and then we lost to what the Lakers seemed like a dozen times we lost to them twice enter fell in the lap of Sacramento who just so happens to be the the one of the teams that we just dominated and beat like five or six times in a row so we were able to get there and then after that that was the last decent effort game that you got because when the playoffs started they were Rusty the they didn’t look good and the rust OKC was totally Rusty they lost by two and then OKC turned it up and just blew him out of there so I mean yeah where is the fight where is the that that mentality because Griffin bills a basketball coach of good human beings and Gail Benson at the top saying David Griffin he such a nice man all this nonsense so in the end man everybody a nice man so Alvin gvin Gentry man such a nice man that’s what she says everybody what about what about St oh he’s such a nice man but his best St n you gota let DC do his voice man no no please no talking about I can’t do G yeah had no comment to that man he was eating Rock and rolls ice cream laughing when she said that oh that’s great now you know what I say nothing about Stan because I just they had some recent articles that came out about his wife his wife had passed away and the details behind it were he you know secret but literally he came out L he came out literally later you know recently and said that his wife committed suicide holy [ __ ] I know man he been said he been struggling you can get over L commit suicide yeah said his wife committed suicide man so shout out to deal with some horrible stuff over there man so yeah bless that brother yeah for real so but in on Pelican side of things yeah this is this has to change around man big time and like he Willie Green’s the guy that they gave remember and it just keeps going remember the the secret extensions that the Pelicans signed late last year in 2023 the Pelican signed uh David Griffin Tran Langan and uh Willie Green signed extensions that they kept they kept this information away from the flocking nation away from the P faithful all the way until the last week of the regular season right before the plan started that’s when they leaked the got were signed so thank about what I’m saying they signed them late last year and didn’t tell you about them until what five to six months later when right before right before the pl about three or four 4 whatever the case may have been into the new year right before right at the end of the regular season they reaked it and then didn’t allow anybody to expound on so Willie Green had received an extension Griffin got an extension and he kept it secret you do this stuff because you know that’s not the correct way to do it you don’t sign secret extensions and then leak it out and then allow the reporters to follow up on questions about whether or not they signed Extensions by the way they couldn’t verify how long extensions work what kind of shady [ __ ] is this that’s what that’s what kind of problem I got organizations that do underhanded stuff like this with David Griffin is a is obviously uh a part of this foolishness that’s why when he comes in with all his words salad people got to challenge him on that because he full of [ __ ] man he is he’s full of it bro you that rep that whole resume about Champion all that’s LeBron man LeBron helped you out on that and then you come here because you’re not mimicking no kind of moves here like that all of this rhetoric about being a basketball fan and man these people are being paid play basketball they utilize their time to win and get the proper coaches here to help these people understand what they got to do but we are tied up into the future with a with with a coach now I no disrespect to Willie Willie would be a good assistant coach on I wanted more of a person that had more of a resume in terms of being our coach a guy that won a championship ring that knows what it takes to get there that when he walks in the room and command the respect of the players because he been there before he knows what it takes but we couldn’t get that guy because the Pelicans under Griffin had two had three head coaches in the first three years he steep foot in the door and a lot of times the first two impacted us paying the third so the guys that they were looking at they wanted the ones that were higher up wanted more money we had to go with a cheaper coach and a less experienced coach and now not only is a team you got to learn from here the the coach has got to learn for the team to go further so expect games where he gets his ass kicked by more experienced coaches that are just better to him like we had that o and 28 what is it y’all help me out o 28 o in 29 when losing we’re opening up the fourth quarter in a deficit when you’re losing in the fourth the Pelicans are like 0 and 29 or something like that that’s what’s it’s crazy 0 and 29 when starting the fourth quarter trailing nothing don’t even talk about none of that don’t come up with any answers for that so you know like I said man we this has to change it has to get better but with we locked in with Willie for extensive years Willie has to some pressure has to be put on Willie to become a better Coach if you’re bringing in assistant coaches for goodness sake start listening to him bro especially offensively speaking and develop another goddamn Philosophy for switch when the switch all is not working do something else learn something else do something else please anyway I’mma give the you guys before we get ready to leave I’m getting pissed in this thing now about this switch all [ __ ] oh switch we switch everything and if you don’t win switch all until you die that’s Will’s mentality switch all it’s a new shirt we need to print out it’s called switch all until you die that’s what it is say if Willie Green played baseball what position we I don’t know brother a switch hitter is that what there you go there you go switch It All Forever all time switch all to switch it all what switch the rotation to all defensive guys don’t do none of the [ __ ] I saw switch all all defensive guys while needing offense and double down on it that just sense man I’mma look at what working I’m do the opposite you know oh the people been having success playing you know bigger FAS athletic guys I’mma play all small guys team have been having success playing more players that can shoot all together I’mma play all players that can’t shoot you that’s exct he did it up switch it up while looking for those players to put offense up it’s the craziest thing where where are you you know you know the move that that that broke me this season bro I knew it was officially over I watched the Pelicans give Matt Ryan with they gave him a contract at the end of the season he got a two-year contract I think so he’s back and I’m like okay we got like five games left so they gonna start you know giving Matt Ryan some some minutes so maybe we can utilize know him in the playoffs cuz they they gave him a contract you know to fulfill this spot I didn’t think they was gonna like highlight him or nothing I thought he would like at least get in the game he didn’t play no minutes no minutes after after about the second third game of that [ __ ] I said yeah it’s over that’s what I’m saying no mad run and I’m like why we’re struggling your boy will man he don’t know his team bro and he he gets stuck on got he gets he gets us he gets uh total vision man can we please get lar Ness out I actually like lar Ness as a player but the way that Willie Green thinks he is just the Cure All be all for every goddamn thing sick I know man Willie Willie loves Larry not because he’s a horrible player but because has too much faith and trust with Larry n loves a no ramp up here for Larry Larry I remember Larry just had got off the injury list he just was made available I said he not gonna play him that much as a ramp up boy that boy played like 25 26 minutes in that first game only exist with Zion Zion same thing with Jose Alvarado as Jose Alvarado came off his injury he started playing him I’m like dang ring him up loves Larry and but see the thing is too he overused Larry and and it’s the thing about that’s what I’m saying about Willie Green I don’t know what Willie be thinking at times man I really don’t and I like Willie Green I like Willie but you can’t get away the little basketball I mean I like him he’s a good dude you don’t like him as a person yeah he’s a good human being big oh [ __ ] he’s a good a good human being of course DAV G is David Griffin and the bleaches over there where you at is David Griffin incend no let’s talk about human I’m just saying it it’s true she what she saying about him is true that Willie Green Man he needs to have he needs to take like a a Quantum Leap this upcoming season he really does and and he he can AF bro you can’t up out of the organization andwhere God I mean look I still feel like we need to put trade packages together for Griff and Willie okay I’m looking at back with a third round and whoever whoever uh the V there is I like you I’m saying anybody else got any suggestions for trade packages for G uh and Willie Lex you ain’t get nothing talk about but you ain’t get nothing back for you get you getting like a trash bag full of not not G man my dog say trade G too godamn hey you getting a trash bag that’s cool too uh some fers coffee uh yeah you get you get a trash bag I can see what you gonna get back this is what you gonna get back for Willie and David Griffin you get a trash bag full of Piller sneakers uh about a half a dozen of no we need we need assets oh okay my bad I thought we need people that’s why I was saying like trade trade uh trade uh what is Griff for S prey or something oh hell no think about they’re not gonna hell the best you gonna do is a trash bag full of pill Sak if the Clippers what where you get from yeah that’s what I’m I’m drawing You Gonna Get You G get some uh so you gonna get a half a dozen of dented uh pep sodas you’re gonna get uh let’s see what else a beige and pink in purple do jalopy and the last thing you’re gonna get is a half burnt down building with a mortgage on the unburnt downside that is all you’re gonna get right now those guys so I was thinking maybe maybe we could we could trade uh for Gail we could trade her for for Mark Cuban what y’all think about that I don’t think talking about it you know I’m saying we gotta keep our y’all come on now are we paying are we paying a percentage of uh Dallas’s next Arena uh building fees or what are we giv the Dallas Cowboys the Dallas Cowboys own he got that handle you know what I’m saying but yeah I think that’ll work I think that’s wishful thinking let hey you know what then all this all this is wishful thinking until it happens right like the trade with Brandon for Trey young you know what I’m saying a ain’t we all doing this Wishful we do this stuff all the time I think we got start drug testing we gotta start drug testing for op we got doand that all this stuff is from top to bottom man it look we say it all the time from top to bottom that’s what the pro that’s the source of the problem and in or and in order to really change the direction the whole complexity of the organization it starts from the top you know I I know it I know it may be funny to everybody it’s like Sho if we trading players why can’t we we we we trade the up and UPS too cuz it’s happened it has happened it don’t happen A Lot G GM has got traded I only seen coaches be traded before hey Willie Green need to go you want I know you want to trade Willie Green to Detroit so he can be in Willie Green gotta go though I mean you that’s look we can at least start there but God to Detroit he can go over there and they can play M the the the mentality of of the mentality of the off has got to get better man I mean it’s poor right now and it’s not it’s it’s not it’s not longterm it’s not it’s not huge value it’s like it’s just low and it’s cheap I mean it’s it’s just got to get better you know what I’m saying so and plus I mean obviously you talking about all the mistakes that the Griff made you know what I’m saying Gail made a mistake by hiring Griff Griff making a mistake you know drafting players you know what I’m saying and and then forcing the coach to play The Players you know what I’m saying but I don’t know man it’s it’s a hot mess it’s a hot mess up in there yeah they got to change it around like I said the nor and I’ve said this before that they need to reformat this the Pelicans and the Saints by the same people and the like I said I think uh they need somebody else up there like on the football side of it they need to Dennis laia needs to be not the president of any of these organizations he’s transform him like CFO the Chief Financial Officer goes with the money they need another person on the basketball side and the football side that were former play like a like comes from the John Lynch model like played football and went through the exact program and climbed the organization they’re plenty those type of people out there now as far as the Pelicans I think Swin Cash I’ve been saying maybe I speak it into existence but I think swin should be the top person for that job president because you want a winner you don’t need a a we don’t play that down here we don’t play no BS we don’t like listen to you prattle on about uh good human beings and all this we don’t care about that definitely would rather listen to SN hope yeah at least make sense SW right swin swin is straight she’s a sharp shooter she’s a winner she won everywhere she has gold medals one one in college one in the pros one three champ Hall of now you w’t talk about that and you got Gail as the owner then you got the president of of the Pelicans swin who’s a winner who has all that basketball knowledge you goddamn right go for that but we need people at the top that have that that’s winners who don’t want to lose who are just just winners out the gate and she represents that that’s what we need we don’t need Flim Flam David Griff grifter running around here on reps from that Cleveland Cavalier ring that LeBron basically helped him piece together because he can’t even duplicate that come in here look laundry list of moves that didn’t make any sense I’m like man that if you have a high IQ general manager VP personality these type of moves would have never happened because he would have seen a lot of that like how you have this this this this how you come up in this mug in three years you’re five years in in your first three years you had three different coaches what what sense that Mak and then everyone like I said each one of them impact the third one because you couldn’t afford to go and get the third one like a like a more credible coach you couldn’t afford the guy Phoenix got Gail’s not gonna go up she not gonna be spending all operate so you can’t be making these kind of mistakes who goes and gets Dan B Gundy he wasn’t coaching he was T he was an analyst analyzing basketball games for the NBA do for NBA TV and prior to that he was the general manager destroying the pistol I got a question crazy how do you P him out of your backside say hey man you want to drop man that make none of that made any sense bro that is not no smart VP do something like that go ahead Lex I’m sorry oh no you good um how do you all feel about uh Sam Cassel like cam like Cassel a lot like him I like him like him a lot it’s like I think it’s weird that he hasn’t gotten the opportunity I mean he’s been an assistant coach for Sho longer than Willie yeah you know what I’m saying and I think it’s kind of surprising how he hasn’t gotten an opportunity to be a head coach yet right um I don’t know what I don’t know I don’t know if there’s a reason for that but you know I don’t know that would be kind of kind of nice to um and then um a possib like maybe a possibility of either him or uh Rajan Rondo being an assistant coach on his St yeah Rond feel about that that was I would love that because that’s high IQ players right there Sam Cassel was is B is basically like a basketball genius his focus and how he talk if you ever listen to cassel’s interview how he talk about the game he was a solid point guard too for Houston for some time throughout the NBA so he was a guy that ran the position he was always a smart brother and then Rondo y’all already know Rondo yeah the Lakers they they were both those guys were listed as potential um assistant coaches for JJ Reddit staff in La yeah I mean well look this staff needs to beef up man if you can get because Rajan Rondo played for the Pelicans you know what I’m saying so it’s like it kind of helps the situation hey man it’s one of your own you know what I’m saying go get him he’s a champion you know what I’m saying plus you know Rondo got attitude about him you know what I’m saying like and plus obviously you know he’s a point guard so his ability to see the floor and I’m not talking about I don’t want you say Willie Green was a point guard too I ain’t talking about that no he was a guard for a guard yeah yes but you you see what what I’m saying man like just just his basketball mind you know and and actually knowing what’s out there and I mean I don’t know man I just feel like if you’re gonna go and replace bgo if he is taken you need to look at those two guys and then possibly looking at those two guys replacing Willie down the road you know what hey I tell you one thing you can’t go wrong with Rondo on your team because at least I know and that’s what we need we we we need coaches and I know they need they need guys gonna challenge with Theos and I think that’s a problem with the Pelicans and that’s why I called them you know I make a joke about them being a basketball coach because you got daveid Griffin talking about Good human beings and all this bull crap and where’s the challenging of the philosophy like it just can’t be the faithful saying hey man what we seeing we’re going off based on what we seeing in these games that has to be something going like that inside of the organization like how can we get better how are you going to get better if you don’t look at the mistakes that you were making during the season like a lot of pressure is focused on Willie Green Willie Green has to improve as a coach are they gonna have to get somebody else and things under the road right we can’t do that because and point was made look at what Phoenix did Phoenix Frank vocal has a championship you know he won it with with was that the bubble Championship I think he won Frank V over the Suns he has a he has what the same record as Willie that posted higher you know they took you know they went a little higher he gets fired after he signed a multi-year deal with him he gets fired for Coach bimer who come but bher I’m sorry that comes in and we know who he is he won Championship with the bucks he was always a solid coach he has a he has ties to coach pop he did a great job in Atlanta buil Walky up they w a championship with him and he’s a respected coach the Pelicans you know they weren’t even in the realm of going out and getting that guy because he wanted 10 million a year he signed a five-year contract at 10 million a year not to mention Phoenix still has to take care of the money with Frank vogle after firing after one year a successful year but I’ve seen that Trend I’ve SE and I’mma say this to you guys you’ve seen what happened with g J uh JB bicker staff he did a good job in Cleveland and they fired him what happened with Frank Bogle and they fired him guys that had winning years and they fired them because they felt like they can went they could have went in a they can go to another level because they felt like that guy wasn’t going to get them to the level that they wanted to to deal with because they had personalities on there that needed a guy that dealt with those type of personalities before and here we go with all this going on the Pelicans just sitting cool calm and collected watching it all signing Secret Extensions you see what the difference difference between people that know that they need a coach that take them far this the team is going to go as far as Willie Green will allowed him to go his knowledge is what I’m saying that has to be challenged so you mentioned assistant coaches I agree with you wholeheartedly Rondo and Sam Cassel will make great coaches because both of those guys are are kind of outspoken players right and they would do man what are we doing that’s we don’t need uh a basketball C or people just everybody cool and then you march them out of the playoffs we had a good year we won 49 games will be back next year try no I don’t like that complacency or the the embracing mediocrity man like that at all that exit interview killed me I’m like dude you better go kick rocks don’t nobody got time for that no it’s like this this team is has embraced mediocrity for a long time it’s time to a sin it’s time to go to the next level like you know that that that just wasn’t cool what he said man it really wasn’t it’s word Sal Lex you you you should be used to it from David Griffin and and of course like you said we talk about we kid you all the time about Willie Green and his lovely sins that’s on the practice walls none of it is aggressive none of it is uh from a you know you know like you it’s nothing wrong with saying Killer Instinct because you need Killer Instinct to win in this league because other people utilize it you got have a high degree know how to put people out of the way but they don’t Embrace that type of energy they don’t Embrace that like you say play with violence he says no we’re not gonna play with violence we’re gonna play with Force so you can see it’s a different energy what you saying versus what he’s saying because everybody say play with vience hell yeah let’s get it you know the force ain’t with him the force play with force young Padawan Willie Green the Jedi he is he plays with Force he’s obviously a Star Wars fan he gota be Jedi Willie Green May the force be with made the force force May the force be with the Pelicans man listen man but yeah this is we joke about it all the time like we even talked about the the stuff on written on the practice walls together and all of the the the words that’s written there it’s not like okay bro says address that one I got you says bro do y’all want will it ad do if it’s players always hurt how many games I play this bro listen play like 60 something games last time I checked I thought it was 6 was it 63 no 57 okay his guys always hurt is that include the games they had them guys this year with the with Amy Atmore shout out to Amy Atmore Amy Atmore the physical therapist that the Pelicans had this year more games than they ever played together you can’t use that [ __ ] excuse here no more you can’t use not only that how many how many double digit leads did they have this year why not that’s what I’m saying bro you still stuck on you still stuck on two years ago bro upgrade ow 26 and 27 ow and 30 yeah explain that going from the third look look down going into fourth come on now in the clutch 29 look guys available like dog 0 and 20 can’t use that no more I don’t even know what the number is but it’s either 26 27 or 28 one of them take your pick all gota be F my manin SMI he said but he was hurt for the playoffs so that’s what he was talking about talking about the playoffs and I would have to say just being fair he does have a point every time we made it to the playoffs we’ve never played in the playf and had and man you can say that I also say that’s even more reason we need to blow it up and change it we need to change St yeah you you bro listen man we’ve been hearing that old lame excuse for years about that and we set up there and we watched it this year they played more games than they ever played together even Griffin the playoff man the man say his whole point was the playoff but that well the playoffs bro you you you do the best that you can do with what you got and so far as of who you got but still and all it turns down to a philosophy thing getting these guys ready to play there is no way the Pelicans should have been ran out of there four to nothing against OKC come on now we know bi was banged up we know all this but still and all Willie Green what the hell I want Willie Green to do digging to his goddamn bench he had all season long to get other guys available to contribute to the team during the season and get possibly his his his Superstars or his big players would get hurt couldn’t Poss known that come on bro we don’t but you don’t look at it like that they’ll tell you that the start of the season when the start of the season it’s it’s they do you do your very best to get there in terms of their health and they had their players available Zion played 70 games this year 70 games this year bi played 64 games this year McCullum played played 66 games the top three guys played a lot of minutes for the team this year and even Griffin said he’s seen enough and we talking about regular season and playoffs to reset the core he said he’s seen enough but we’ve waited for the team for four years but it’s not necessarily totally an injury situation a lot that pelic have won more than 49 games last year but a lot of these games the Pelicans when it came down to close games they couldn’t win because of philosophy strategy and doing dumb [ __ ] bro that had nothing to do with no goddamn injuries come on now we sit up here and watch this stuff all the time bro don’t play that injury crap because everybody gotta deal with injuries man it’s up to the coach to develop that Personnel you got that’s what you got depth charts for and backup players they’re not gonna play like your stars but they’re designs where you have guys that contribute that get you going in the interim until you get your guys back but you can’t have a Willie Green having players like Jordan Hawkins that can contribute in the playing and he don’t even sniff one minute or four minutes for his goddamn birthday and he over leans on other players that he don’t even have to he choses to restrict the lineup he didn’t have to restrict the lineup if you know you dealing with issues and injuries you got to bring players along you got to understand who these guys are and how they can help your team we’ve seen that the whole damn way and once again 0 and 28 or 0 and 29 games where they leading starting the fourth quarter off starting the fourth quarter off and some of the times they’ be losing by two or three damn points so it’s not necessarily all injuries that’s some [ __ ] that you got programmed by Griffin well it’s in the injuries that’s the same [ __ ] David Griffin would say but he wouldn’t say what I said about that 29 he won’t say about what I say about them rosters how them lineups is all screwed up and how he not developing them players and using them in the right way at the right times that not explain that [ __ ] go ahead Lex y’all got the flow up man still replying bro he’s saying a whole lot of com I don’t think he watches I keep I just said that’s like the St player of Luka Kyrie was hurt do y’all think that there would be that they would be in the finals let’s be realistic this got to be you know what brother Devin you know I’m not trying toare at you brother but this you also says can’t play defense do y’all watchig bro I mean d y’all got that man I’m gon continue to be the referee go ahead no no no get your ass don’t put let Lex be the referee she got a whistle and everything DC you do take a break from that she already doing that on job bro you got let me ask you something how you feel about CJ then he making 33 mil and you know what the Thunder were hunting his butt they were hunting that’s amazing to me how everybody over you see hold Jord Hopkins plays just as good as defense if not better Just because of his athleticism if you go and watch the games watch the film watch the film watch what what Jordan does on weak side heal that dude got better the thing is he lost opportunities because if they that was a Shu or I don’t know maybe he was a rookie but the thing is if you’re gonna talk about Jordan Hopkins you might want to talk about TJ who is a a certified veteran the Thunder every single Thunder player hunted him on defense but yet he was still playing and he was not putting up 30 he wasn’t doing that okay so I mean that that statement right there is like void so you rather and plus Jordan Hopkins is younger and he a sniper this dude got High Praise saying hey this is a Ray Allen right here this is this this is a a Steph Curry it’s hard to find a menace and you you telling me you can’t put him in the game you’re you’re willing to to bench a a Ray Allen you’re willing to to bench uh a Steph Curry you gave him High Praise like that but but you’re worried about his defense so much but those guys you’re the compensation on the defensive end is is is is recovered on the offensive end that’s what type of player that you have with Jordan but because you you you sto playing them there was such a high Aus with with his playing time you’re not going to get that every time you’re shooting down his confidence and you’re you’re asking CJ who’s a true too you know what I’m saying same as Hawkins Hawkins is a too you don’t want him handling the rock you know what I’m saying I mean it’s like come on man cuz CJ CJ was way worse CJ was way worse so I’m not I’m really not you know Jordan Hopkins is Young you know what I’m saying like I don’t know if you knew this a lot of rookies that come in they’re not they’re not really um they’re not really the greatest on defense anyway so he fits right in what you talking about like I said I I uh the whole thing about the the injury thing that un ran its course bro that’s up out of here that’s done because you know like I said’ seen agre that CJ is trash we’ve we’ve SE we’ve seen everything the listen fam the the the biggest thing is not injuries that’s the that’s the first thing people are are programmed to go after is the injury situation you look at these games you still got a coach man you still gotta got the coach that’s you can’t sit up here say well we was hurt we couldn’t compete that’s not true you got to use your team that’s why they assembled these players in that case look at the man look look look at how they lost most their roster yes but let me tell you something about energy when you play with a whole lot of energy and that will to want to win let me tell you something that can take you far that can take you far and having someone that can coach the Knicks lost like most of their starters yep you know what I’m saying I mean so are we still using that as an excuse we got to we got to stop that man you still got to go out there and play your butt off at least play with a lot of effort did you see any heart out there any heart any effort any killer I mean you you got to have those things and then look look you should know your personnel well enough where you can still coach your team even without your star they they say a good team a really good team is when is when you’re able to sit your star or if your star goes down then you can still win games that can’t happened it’s happened in the past that’s basketball that’s how you know you a good coach I agree that’s that’s what it comes down to that’s why these depth charts are assembled to brace for injury now didn’t nobody say we trying to blow nothing up I mean the thing is Griff made a lot of mistakes you know what I’m saying the thing is this the the the organization has been very reactive they haven’t been proactive they haven’t been aggressive on making changes or or or getting the pieces around is it’s basically like you know you can’t beat around the bush like listen this team was what 49 and 33 this year the record okay 49 and 33 last season would have had you in the third seed what does that tell you that tells you that the league is constantly getting better you can’t sit on your hands and twiddle your thumbs and do nothing while the rest of the league is trying to get better you can’t rely on that it’s like at some point you already have to collect the data and know okay look we need to make drastic changes it’s like dog you like two seasons too late that’s why the Pelicans are behind they’re behind they started their rebuild the same as the Thunder and the same as the t-wolves they start the same look where the Thunder and the te- Wolves got yep that’s great example ain’t trying to hear that man it’s about the decisions that you’re making and it’s about putting right not making mistakes and then coming back and and covering up those mistakes because you Rift is too cheap he making cheap decisions and it’s showing it’s showing you can’t do that that hurts your organization you’re you’re basically putting your organization in a bond and that’s one of the reasons why look if they off offered that contract if they offered that contract to Brandon 50 m if they offered it that’s going to set your organization back even more nobody is going to take that that that that type of contract especially for a guy who don’t want to shoot threes y’all ain’t ready for that that’s part I disagree with I think Brandon would shoot threes if you we had a point guard they can get him some catch and shoot threes because I watch them shoot six threes a game but that point out here this is the thing too DC I want to I want to draw into it man is the the whole let’s move on the scenario we about to end the stream but this the whole scenario about uh blowing it up you need to go back and listen to the whole show brother because we don’t we not advocating them to blow up the team we we talking about because the team a the team is not far off but it’s all about Vision they they they decided to reset Griffin this is his fifth year here his fifth year here I don’t y’all got to look at the details cuz that’s where it’s at it’s in the details you can’t listen to everything they say because they just propaganda people they just throw out a bunch of junk the first thing they gonna spend is injuries that’s why the team underachieved but there is no explanation for why they went 0 and 29 and when they didn’t when they went to the fourth quarter without the lead there’s no understand do you not understand the Pelicans if they were good enough they could ended up with 55 plus games that would have been a whole different look for the Pelicans they died out toward the back of the year they died out then you talk about injuries Willie Green didn’t use his players especially his bench players the way he was supposed to that was evident in the playoffs you if your team banged up like that you gonna have to dig into the bench man that’s why you develop these guys during the regular season that’s why there are depth charts and I’m not going to talk about the Luca thing I’m you figure that one out all I’m saying is you can’t always sit up here and talk about using injuries as an excuse for underachievement of the team they decided to reset the core of the team because it’s at that interval where they’re not gonna play play Brandon Ingram and David Griffin said so himself he’s seen enough of it to know that they want to go in a different direction he ain’t gonna pay bi which means if you’re not gonna pay bi you’re gonna trade him which means CJ got to go probably not right away before the trade deadline this is common place so they have to add some more players to with Zion whether that’s Trey young or whoever the case may be you decide you pick him daryus Garland whatever they gotta put somebody else there to help Zion as he have this big part of his contract going forward or face the dreaded CP3 a curse in which we get our Stars we pick these top people and then they end up leaving to go some go help somebody else and that’s exactly what’s G happen if we get muray all right I hear you DC DC wants to swing for the fences I got you DC St man is on record you got Le on record saying he would Zion would like to play with Trey you got Trey daddy saying Trey would like to play with Zion like the stars want to play with stars now man everybody don’t seem obsessed to be you know super team star but they want at least one other star we got to get Zion to start player I can guarantee out so we we we do this [ __ ] well we we trying to patch up more holes in the boat and we uh we go and we don’t get another star we need a superstar app par you either gotta find an up and cominging one that’s about to turn into it he wants to play with or you you you have to that’s how you keep Stars you gotta get them another star or we gonna lose let me ask you this this will be the last question this will be the last question before we end the stream let’s say Dallas wins the N where the wins the uh NBA championship let’s say Dallas wins it right what kind of pressure does that put on the Pelicans being that Dallas is coming out of the Southwest where we reside at that put an extreme amount of pressure ons you already gotta deal with uh the up and coming Spurs right you got Dallas being the Champs uh I hate to break it to you but Houston isn’t exactly a descending team either so it it makes our division a lot tougher and now we have to prepare our team to be able to compete with not only Dallas but everybody else in our division I mean if you want to do something you wanna you want to win your division you know what I’m saying um that’s always the foundation you got all of those teams that you play more times than other teams you kind of gota have roster to compete with those and we’re getting pretty big in our division you know Dallas is big team with the addition of all the big guys they added and then you got the Spurs with what they’re doing [ __ ] with Bama is like two centers than one so I think it puts a lot of pressure on them but it’s not like um pressure for us to win the championship next year but if we want to we talk about making the playoffs and being a team that um hey you right Le Memphis bigger too you talking about being a team that wants to contend man you gotta look within your Division and we got all these teams in our division that they looking like they they ready or they coming you know uh Memphis is coming back right I didn’t even mention Memphis just mention you mention too so we got pressure this is opportunity for Griff to either to either make a break man if he’s sing for the fenses and he hit it he buys more time if Griffin messes up this B trade man you gotta fire you gotta fire if we going to next year and we have the same results we got this year will green gota be gone and David Griff has anything less than that I mean we just gonna keep saying the same thing for probably the next five or six years if not worse it’s actually gonna be worse because man the Southwest bro there’s not going to be a a more difficult division to play professional basketball in than the Southwest man let me tell you something if Dallas ends up getting the crown this year man that’s going to be that’s GNA be because Dallas you know if they win the championship you got Houston you mentioned Houston who were 41 and 41 they’re G to be better A lot better with em OD DOA running them Memphis they were just destroyed by injuries so you got to expect they they’re going to be doing what they did prior and then the Spurs and wama and they talking about swinging the fence to get a a started place next to him dude the Southwest is going to be the most competitive division in all of the NBA next year and the Pelicans are sitting their ass right up in the middle of it so man like I said that’s why all of this is very important for what we talking about like you know and DC that’s why I see you been advocating for the Trey uh the Trey uh uh Young Thing the Trey young thing we have two trees but been contr you know the other show talking about because I think we have to give up something for it but once we had TI to him man it’s the only move that makes sense yeah we can do some other stuff in well the pressure on like like you make a good case because you know I want to ask that because if Dallas comes Dallas because they’re in the finals Dallas wins if they win The champ is in the same is in the south West and the Pelicans got all these other teams that will be better that’s no doubt in my mind that all of these teams will be better next year we we can’t be bringing up the rear in the Southwest Division we got to ascend and we in trading Albi you got to get good value Great Value back for bi you know sending them out so indeed this is a pivotal moment for the Pelicans moving forward no doubt about this is going to be very difficult coming up next year man for real so anyway Lex give you the floor for the last time and then will get up out of here oh yeah yeah we need to do a d show too yeah we got yeah DC is pled we got some more stuff coming we got some more stuff coming go ahead Lex the floor is yours Lex yeah I’m here no I was just just gonna uh piggy back on what you all were saying like I mean Memphis man man you talking about they got GG J Bane and and Triple J coming back hold on just a second man yeah they they got a lot of stuff going on with them man uh like I said I was looking at some of these people and I was like man the Southwest is going to be the best division in all of pro basketball especially you know and even if Dallas doesn’t win the chip that that still sets a high floor for them coming into the following year because remember the previous year man it was all kind of turmoil going on down there with Dallas and Dallas start making moves making trades getting proactive and next thing you know they in the damn finals you know I’m like man why can’t we be like that why we sitting up here talking these people are acting like they got all the time in the world and as long as we allow these people to sit here and spend all these damn excuses about this that and the third we had to keep putting pressure on the Pelicans almost feels like they working it out by process of elimination like you know we’ve been saying hey get the medical stuff together we’ve been saying this stuff for years man okay physical therapist they just just got a physical therap redo the whole medical staff let’s just get a physical therapist to see how that work n Devon bro you already own the thing bro he said what should we we we already heard your perspective bro we not we not no supporters of injuries bro and and let people buy brother no we don’t we don’t believe in that we gonna do call in next week though so show next week up brother come you can come and attempt to change our perspective good luck that we done been there and seen all of that brother we’ve been doing this for a long time we done heard all of the excuses that they gonna roll out we understand rosters are in depth charts and what you supposed to do to brace your team or ensure your team to the best of your ability with a solid roster let me tell you something coming into this year the Pelicans the Pelicans second line as they’re called was one of the best in the NBA potentially they had Naji they had Jose Alvarado Larry Nance they had players off that bench uh that if you did it right would have really helped the starting five and there were games where the Pelicans especially in the clubs you didn’t see that bench come alive and they like they said most times and this is true that coaches team to seem to restrict their lineups in the playoffs to make things a lot easier but if that if you’re healthy enough to do that that’s fine if you’re not you’re not supposed to do that you’re supposed to be if you knew bi was dealing with some stuff you knew you had to use somebody else or somebody else’s to get in there and make some stuff happen so it’s always an answer for every question brother and it’s not always injuries because you can’t predict injuries but what you can do is you can assure yourself against the injuries with your depth chart I’m sorry Alexa you got the floor oh shoot speaking of injuries man hey with all the injuries that Memphis was was uh uh dealing with how they how them dudes come back and and beat the Pelicans two times in a row this season you know what I’m saying that right there is a killer I I don’t know I don’t really understand that but anyway um yeah the definitely the division’s about to get tougher it’s about to get tougher um they’re definitely going to give get uh wimy uh some more help but you know it and and the size Factor that’s why whatever we do we we definitely got to invest make sure that we invest in size obviously we we talk about a lot that we need a point guard but goly man I mean you look at Dallas Memphis and and the Spurs um maybe a little bit with with Houston but I mean the size factor is is a big deal so I mean we just there’s a lot of holes this team’s got to feel a lot of holes they got to feel I mean some tough decisions that they gotta make but uh something definitely has to be done don’t please just don’t do nothing you know what I’m saying just don’t do nothing don’t do it they gotta do something Lex I think they gonna do something popping uh like DC saying I think he kind of hitting on it when he talks about with David Griffin and it’s the like we we’ve they know that the Southwest they gota make a big move they gota make a big because and the thing is they wouldn’t have to make a big move if they had made a series of moves that would have worked and what I mean by that is man we’ve been talking about Daniel Gafford for sometime now how Gaff could have helped the Pelicans we talked about that we talked about players all the time it just takes imagination you got to know your team you got to know your team and know what the team needs it’s like if you had valat chunis who was also available for 82 games this year valat chunis is a double double and Willie underutilized them even if he doesn’t exactly fit your scheme you still got to utilize the player to his benefit if that’s what you have so you know even if you have injuries all over the place valat chunis is available use them to your benefit use your seven-footers the length you had to your benefit yeah and the guy doesn’t do that so you can’t like I said you got bring all that don’t tell me about no injuries if you don’t tell he loves Larry so much he trying to kill that dude yeah Larry n can’t play can’t do everything sometimes let Larry run out at the four put a seven put a seven footer at the five let him play a little four every nine again imagine you know no no Larry cannot play the four we have for that stop it move got you can play Come On D gonna move up to the four we gonna continue play Larry at the five actually bring EJ at the there you go if you are over 68 you cannot get major Min at the center spot that’s what I want to let you know about all the people that we worked out damn most of them a over 68 but if you are not over 68 cannot get major minutes at at the center spot dude you better have a seven foot if you got wi Beyond in there fool not you but Willie but this thing you better make sure we just got gota have a 38 in verth that’s allang gotta jump from the yeah jump high it’s amazing man that’s what I’m saying about knowing your team knowing who who your adversaries are and playing the league but it like I said it’ll it’ll all be it’ll all be run out you can’t get over the records we laying down all of the facts about what the Pelicans are doing man and they just a process of elimination just got a physical therapist so they played more games than they ever played the next thing should be for the Pelicans to hire another physical therapist get two of them if if you had this much going on positive hire another well they let go one of them did they no that was Zion’s wasn’t that Zion personal trainer but that was through the organization right that that just that just happened uh this week it was uh what’s that ladies it was it was the young lady that always they let her go his uh his actual trainer are the lady who attended to him I don’t know exactly in which way she trained him but um what in the physical therapist she’s still here G is still here yeah so that that’s that’s what I’m saying man we uh they got some work to do they got a swing for the fences the Southwest Division is lit and each one of these teams going to be better than what you seeing them right now you can see Houston winning more than 41 games Memphis if they healthy winning more than 27 games and San Antonio stepping it up so I mean Dallas Dallas is building a nice they got a good foundation of players right there so man listen we can’t we gotta move it up too so I I can understand DC talk about the Trey uh the Trey uh young swing for the fence move to kind of Electrify it it might be the thing that they need to do we’ll see what he does we know he likes to make a splash that’s for certain we know he likes to do that all right so anyway with that being said man We Gonna Get on Up out of here man listen also got they gotta double down and get some more big bodies we get young if we don’t get some seven Footers on the squad bro still come be hey bitters we gotta play on d That’s you had two seven Footers all last year you had one that played the entire season well if you understand how the roster is constructed when I say we gota get the seven Footers and we gota trade for Young by default that mean Larry’s G you no no no no no yes yes yes he ain’t going nowhere willly green that’s only time Willie Green will start cursing if you talk about trading Larry Nance for I’m definitely trading them not because we gota break out of this boy so we definitely trading my they not I see a few I want to see a few gr ass pop up I need to see some goddamn frustration they not talking about changing the choir boy thing they don’t see no problem with in their minds that’s what helping bro it’s about growth though no but they don’t see a issue with that they’re not concentrating on that much like the o29 thing you got to see it as an issue for you to bring light and correct it they that corporate mentality yeah they don’t see an issue they think in their minds it in their minds they think right and a lot of times corporate people they lack imagination they do because it’s black and white to them that’s how they train yeah all about that paper and the thing is the paper don’t tell everything know that’s that the analytical side I guess of things but you know sometimes you just got to see with your eyes and not not with you you know actually see with you eyes with the game not what’s on paper like well it says here that we do this like no did you did you forget the part word said here that uh um there uh how many double digit leads this team team loss nope you see that part even address see did you see the part where we went 0 and 26 to 0 and 27 I don’t we we had W last year that’s all that matter but it could what I’m saying is that it could have been better like that that should show like like 0 and 27 is a huge blowout did you know I’m saying it’s like that’s that’s bad that is really bad you know what I’m saying like in pressure moments like the team and and and hey the core and everybody was available in those games so it’s like man you you can’t just look at one thing you got to look at everything gota look at the details man you know the I think too much of the focus is on oh 49 and 33 you know uh each year he’s um you know the win percentage has gone up man that’s right it’s not that but why we not looking that all this team is is a borderline playing team or a first round exit why aren’t you looking at that and those years that this this team was a playing team that’s not growth I mean yeah regular season is great but how you establish your credentials and your legacy is in the playoffs I’m not saying look I know we want to go to the finals love to go to the finals conference F uh Western Conference finals and NBA Finals all that stuff but the thing is first this team needs to start proving that you’re not a you’re you’re a true Contender and not a pretender I mean we could at least did what the t- did maybe at least go to the second round like the Thunder did again I keep saying them because they’re the measuring stick the rebuild for those team started at the same time it did you know what I’m saying so it’s like we can’t at least get to the second round you know we we trying to go further into the playoffs it’s not about get uh like oh we want to get to the finals year we want to get there but we also understand that there’s stats every single year this team has been a playin team the playin is not the playoffs just like regular season is not the playoffs right it’s like you know we we gotta win we G to get out of the plane this team shouldn’t have been a playing team they really shouldn’t have really that game that they lost against the Spurs that that was that was a a heartbreaker right there they should have won that game it’s like look I understand you you lost to Boston who else did they lose to in that stretch because they last they lost like what like eight games uh home games or something like that they beat they beat the Bucks before then they played Boston I think they played hold pull it up next hold on I’ll pull it up it was a horrible stretch of games man yeah it was it was really horrible it fell the hell apart badly toward the back end of the season and uh they even started losing couldn’t even buy a game at home and then it’s crazy is that what Orlando Orlando in San Orlando yeah Orlando was aters either and the Lakers that’s a lot of it’s like and then the thing is look by the time they changed it they they started practicing in in the SKC against the Kings like what like y y’all been having problems playing at home y’all ain’t winning at home all all the game all the games that they had including against the Thunder were um like the last 10 games were home uh at home losses yep and and they the the only time that they won was when they were playing the Kings and and they practice in the SKC y’all should have bendon did that first time doing practicing a practice facility apparently there’s something going on you need to get over the hump I don’t know man the people don’t let Hey family don’t let that that listen what she said was very vital what she just dropped was true about that it might smile sound like a small detail but listen that’s actually a big thing because they found that out because they were asking him what’s the difference between how you guys are winning on the road versus why you can’t win at home and they started de delving into it and they asked them about where do you guys practice well we practice in the arena in which we play and they have a familiarity with the aren practice and then they come out they win the game well when they came to the home situation they would always practice in the practice facility on airline it’s like why didn’t they change that like after they lost three games in a row exactly then one of them said then somebody said hey man let’s do what we do on the road let’s practice in the arena and then they did it and they won yeah they did it one time and then they didn’t do it no they went back to doing it because that’s what Willie Green does finally and then you go away from and that’s that that that’s how he he coaches that’s crazy that’s crazy man I mean I I didn’t understand that at all and the thing is it’s like even with the Kings the Pelicans had the King’s number this year so I don’t think either way whether they would have practi practic practiced in uh the SKC compared to the practice facility I don’t know if that would had a huge effect but goly I mean be a little superstitious dog practicing the SKC I mean if what what had to lose right I I think that was a good a good thing for them to do but they had to they they had to decipher it but like I said I the way it looks at like like uh in uh Devin asking about the Zack Ed thing we covered that early in the show uh brother Dev so you can go back and listen to we talked about we covered the story about them pre-draft with Edie we also talked about other prospects as well so you can feel free to go back early in the show all right but yeah it’s this just one of the things that the Pelicans man listen and ain’t no more comfortable stuff about to happen like I said the Southwest is getting is about to be real this year yeah it’s going it’s it’s going down so all the stuff that we talked about because they have some some really good coaches I mean the best coach in NBA history is in the southwest you’ll have Dallas is representing the this division very well right now and let me tell you something they going to be a huge Target and Memphis Memphis is definitely coming back man I mean they like they got Jimson GG Triple J and J and they got a lot of they got a lot of Sinners you know linked in the draft of Memphis too Memphis ain’t stupid they see what’s going on in that division yeah that that’s why yeah that’s why they did they they traded um uh what is his name Aquaman stepen Adams yeah they tra traded him to Houston to get up off him so he ain’t even there no more they they they were thinking way ahead see that’s what the Pelicans need to do man that’s what the Pelicans need to do that will require Vision Le and that would require you also understanding that what you been doing to this point hasn’t been working that would require that see we have a way doing things and we have yet to accept failure maybe the trading of bi is them accepting that everything they have set up and have been doing is a failure and they reshift and refocus but that will require vision and as Q says and you just said some imagination you know they have to uh think outside the box now we do have Bryce Graham coming in so maybe he provide a little ability for us to be I guess more creative because he’s he’s younger you know younger people a lot of times have unique ideas they’re not going to try to follow all of the Trends they usually try to create a new one or at least go with something that’s a newer Trend be more willing to adapt to change to reshift and if the pelic current state isn’t more of a need to rehi I don’t know what the hell is so if they don’t see this and everything that we’ve been through and this as the prime opportunity to go ahead and reshape the roster and how you do things this may be the last chance we get with this current uh roster and regime because if if you go in my opinion I think Zion contra is what this is the second year of his contract kicking in so we got four more years right you got about two years man we on the clock because we all know these guys take Mega deals right once they take the money right around the middle of that contract if you still is fiddling around in the same position is what is this this kid was when you’re drafted and we still just meddling around make play here make playoff where uh the super contendent uh player team I think we got all the playing records we probably got we leading in every category of the plan anything that requires longevity I’m pretty sure the Pelicans got it we always in the plan you know um that’s awful if we’re still there then can you really be mad at Zion for requesting a trade I saying he wants out by year 2027 if you look at all the situations with Anthony Davis and and and CP3 all’s there’s been a consistent reoccurring situation through all this and and really that that’s why it’s kind of funny because it even goes beyond Griff it goes beyond that even when D was here like you know the thing is like just I don’t know how they’re doing I think you talked about how uh the their system like how how they they run this thing like there’s so many blueprints out here on how to run your organization I mean we talked about Miami we’ve talked about the Spurs you know what I’m saying I mean you you can even throw in Dallas for crying out loud I mean you have blueprints on how to you know what you need to have a successful team but it it definitely does start from the top because there’s there’s too many reoccurring events that just scream out look you all don’t know what you’re doing you don’t know what you’re doing and and the and the fact that you know it to use the excuse well because they do this a lot oh we’re a small Market team stop saying that just because you’re a small Market team doesn’t mean that you have to have a small Market mindset you don’t you you shouldn’t have a small Market mentality look the Bucks they’re a small Market team but they came out and won a championship Memphis is a small Market team but they’ve been making the playoffs the t-wolves are a small Market team look at where they got the Thunder are small Market team look at where they got like it’s like so why aren’t they using that small oh we’re we’re we’re just a small Market team we can’t do it we can’t do this or that but yet you’re you’re you’re using that as an excuse on why you can’t do your job that makes absolutely no sense all those teams I named are small Market teams but they don’t have a small Market mentality and that’s the difference stop talking about L small Market get out of that my mentality and think bigger because it can be done yeah I like that I like that LE I think I think you want it because you are what you believe you are so if you consider yourself a small Market team and you think small and everything is small your results are gonna be small exactly minim and Che and and and gri I don’t know how many times Griffon said that y’all great break down he he to mention all we’re awesome just drilling that same message into into the fan base and and themselves and everything else yeah we yeah I mean we got to step it up this year man uh gotta compete we gotta we we got to step it up man we got to step it up ain’t no doubt about it man this this this season this upcoming season season will show a lot the B it starts with the man I mean at the thing and you right big I see what you said yeah winning once you start winning because look the the small Market if you start winning that makes you a big Market in a lot of ways it actually makes big mark because you’re you’re winning championships that’s right that’s a great Point that’s an excellent point and that’s actually a unique point that I’ve never heard anybody bring upend pertaining to the Pelicans because I mean man you you that’s it it kind of highlights the issue that we’ve been saying with this team everything is about mentality mentality Outlook Vision Direction Focus um goals you know like let’s let’s be real we can look at a winning team right and you look at goals most teams they have a goal in the beginning of the Season that won the finals what was that goal that goal was to win the finals there’s very few teams or probably not any teams that have won the finals or Championship any matter that didn’t have a goal of winning the championship you know what I’m saying and inside of those goals you got a certain check marks you gota hit okay I want to win the finals this year well we need to go on the Le talked about this all the time we need to go on the 10 G winning streak how many finals teams or teams that won the finals never went on a t game wi stre or at least like when like nine games and lost three uh double digital wi the street you know what I’m saying like the goals the direction the focus where is it what our front office and we really don’t know being honest we come here and we we try and uh provide great ideas and commentary on what should happened but we have no idea what the focus is in the front office because everything they do constantly shows you a lack of Direction a lack of a plan a lack of focus a weak mentality small ideas thinking to fix uh let’s fix the problem today and the 10 problems that fixing the problem today causes tomorrow we’ll just handle them once we get to them we have no vision we can’t see the farest from the tree a lot of times and if you’re organization and you understand that and you actually want to win that’s where starts this is the big off seon oh man for David Griffin five years yeah you know all these people because you’re not going to continue to gain the support of uh of the people here because these people here We R value the ability to be able to be resilient to be mentally tough to be Grinders and put in the work and and then be T that’s what New Orleans is that’s us that’s what we that’s what makes up people from here this is what we embody and it does not show that in the team no and that’s the difference between the support that the Saints have and the support the Pelicans have now the Saints they going through a rough pass right now but they’ve had a consistent run of showing all of those things it showed up in the team and it wound up in us actually winning the championship and being a contender to win the championship multiple years I don’t think people here are so greedy where we have to be a dynasty although who wouldn’t want that but we respect hard work and seeing you doing the right thing and telling us the truth because New Orleans people are laidback we cool but we’re not stupid they think because we cool and laid back and we be chill that we stupid and when we get turned we get turned so we go from lay back and chill really aggressive and angry you know um and I think they a lot of times the PS they take advantage of the fan base and the Loyalty that we have or the perceived loyalty that we have based on the Saints and they just try to do enough to just keep us sucked in so a lot of times is are they actually really trying to win are they trying to win enough to just make some money trying to put butts in the SE as soon as we figure that out and they figure that out if it’s if it’s what I just said then you know The Jig Is up we might actually lose the team because as much as people want the P here if that is what they’re trying to do and what they’re going to continue to do people are not gonna support the team we don’t like phoniness we don’t like fake it is what it is you trying to win and you losing and we see you doing everything taking the swings and missing and but really trying people still don’t to respect the team they might be mad about it they might say this or that but they G to respect it they gonna ride for but if you keep taking the funk man like all this shim sham and beautiful word salad and flip floppy ass [ __ ] man this this ain’t no representation of us and we don’t respect it and the sad part about the team we have now the Pelicans are extremely talented Talent don’t mean a lot if you don’t know how to utilize it which is the problem experiencing or if you don’t know what to do with it we had multiple players that went other places won championships impact other teams we get assess for and we don’t turn it into [ __ ] if we look around the league and everything that we’ve provided to help other teams it is a damn shame that we’re in a position where we should at the very least be in the same position as the Oklahom City and like I said Mercedes going for a minute this Brandon trade right here and I guess all you can say the CJ McCullum trade too because we know he got a go because Trey got St and we need a point guard these two trades this this is pretty much it for this regime they down they they [ __ ] up so much they down to their last really last chance because I don’t think you gonna turn CJ into too much but we still got some picks so you never know but they down to last chance or two to be able to write the [ __ ] there’s no more Banda and fixing bandaid [ __ ] after this you gotta knock one of these out the PO if they messed up the be trade it would be bad it probably would be the end of the world they still have a opportunity a LGE ditch effort with CJ but if they they [ __ ] up both of those man that’s it that’s it Zion’s probably out of here David Griffin’s fire we setting
