Are you trading Zion, Ingram, or McCollum?
You are really committed to this BS. At this point it appears over.
If you going to trade somebody you trade your worst players not your best assets.
Trade Josh Richardson, Trade Jaxson Hayes, Trade Kira (but use my bad player though), Billy Hernangomez is not trash at all as a matter of fact he's really good and efficient but the pelicans don't know how to use them I rather him succeed elsewhere.
It would be a very unwise to trade any of the three right now, and the only problem with Jonas is that the front office doesn't know how to properly utilize him.
They need to stop looking at him on an island and start incorporating him into the offense and not just passing the ball and expect him to do everything while everybody else stands around looking lost.
They need to play Jonas the same way the nuggets played Jokic.
If you have to trade one of the big three tho……😩😩😩😩😩 I guess trading CJ for somebody younger could help I certainly wouldn't mind us getting a faster guard, only because he doesn't show up much in the post season but….. Zion don't even show up and make sure the games, Let alone the postseason.
But you keep B Ingram, because he actually wants to be great, 👍🏾
Don't trade JV
If you draft Jordan Hawkins or Grady dick CJ is expendable but I would hold on to CJ McCollum one more year me personally I don't think CJ was worth the contract he has and his role would be better as a six man because his volume of shooting is taking the ball out of Zion and Brandon Ingram's hand
And also this system is basically rigged and design to screw over small-market teams and going by that logic they'll probably try and force I on this the odd man out so you can go to a place like Los Angeles with the Lakers
Also I wouldn't be surprised if the refs get conveniently more difficult to deal with for the pelicans probably calling any little thing they can to make sure they lose more games 😞
Probably won't get the same favoritism the Lakers have of course….
I don’t think “blow it up” is the right term here, it’s more of just trade cj for a young talent and picks and get a cheap veteran
We have to really look at this the right way if we trade Zion who can we bring in that's comparable to Zion that will help us win with this current roster I can really tell you nobody because the way y'all Bash and put out trade rumors for Zion it's dropping his Market Zion is a one of one Talent who's just 22 years old and y'all don't really want to give him an opportunity to showcase that Talent Michael Jordan LeBron James Kevin Durant none of them won within the first four years in the league so why do y'all expect Zion to
We all who know needs to be traded.
My greatest happiness is the $ 28,000 biweekly profit I get consistently from my $7,200 investment despite the economic downturn
Dyson is trash give it up
CJ is the odd man out. Age, contract, role all suggests his time is coming to an end. I hope we can draft Jordan Hawkins or Keyonte George. That way we could move Trey to the starting lineup and feature one of them off the bench.
Winning cures everything. There’s absolutely no reason to invest in a team that’s unserious every postseason. If Zion can actually be available for the playoffs that can change what this era looks like entirely
With that said, it’s pretty clear unless things are immaculate that BI is out the door. And I appreciate him more than literally anyone else in the organization
Comment
We cannot afford to pay a guy $200 million to sit on the bench. Move THAT GUY. Do I really need to list his name?
Obvious answer is Z bec of his availability & the outside issue adds up a bit, but he's the most marketable player on this roster thats why the management will think twice.
The New CBA is gone to hurt small markets even more because it’s not like players won’t sign cheaper contracts to win titles at bigger market teams or stacked teams. This has happened in professional sports for a long time. Players will always make their on rules while rules are made up to so called make fair play. I don’t see how this CBA really helps any small market team by the time you build a team you have to get ride of it which once again seem like the small markets will take all of the effects while players will still go to big market teams to win titles or stacked teams to win titles.
CJ GONE HOPEFULLY
At this point am not trading anybody
Just throw the whole team away at this point.. We won’t get anything comparable for CJ, and Zion and BI can’t stay on the court… I’m just over it. I’m so tired of hearing about trading players. I really think we have what we need to compete and potentially win. But we won’t win a damn thing if Zion or BI can’t play more than half the season!
Cj 2 1st for the 2nd pick
Just think aboutvit, if Zion can perform on the court like he does in the bedroom, we can go all the way😂😂😂😂😂
