Can I Turn the New Orleans Pelicans into a NBA DYNASTY?!

If you’re new here welcome in and if you know me welcome back and first off I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you for 30,000 subscribers this channel has been growing this channel this community has been amazing and will continue to be amazing and with

Video after video thank you guys for supporting me it means so much to me so today we’re going to talk about the New Orleans Pelicans as they are a really interesting team and I was wondering if I could turn them into a 2K Dynasty now I have some of my favorite players on

The Pelican Zion Brandon Ingram um and I want to see if I can help build a good team around them they already have a good team around them scratch that I don’t mean good team I mean great team all right let’s get to the video all right so for starters we’re going to

Start this video where the season is so it’s late in the 2023 2024 season so we’ll just Sim that and then the real fun begins in the off season cuz I can’t make any moves it’s past the trade deadline all right so the current game plan for the pelican

Is CJ McCollum at point guard herb Jones shooting guard Ingram at the three Zion at the four valent chunis at center with try Murphy Jordan Hawkins Naji Marshall Larry n Jr Alvarado Cody Zeller okay Dyson Daniels is hurt currently all right let’s see what happens if I

Rebuild this rotation and it changes to just giving a little bit more minutes to the starters I think I’m going to shorten the rotation definitely when we get to the playoffs I might even go eight man rotation in the playoffs see if that helps us win some games all

Right so now for salary cap the most expensive player is CJ McCollum I have McCollum until 2025 26 might be an interesting trade piece for long term Zion’s locked in until 2728 and Ingram until 2425 we have Dyson Daniels on what I think I think yep team option for Dyson

Daniels and then herb Jones so valent chunis is going to be a free agent and that’s going to be a big decision upcoming to see if I need to pay for him we’re already into the negatives for cap room and we don’t have a lot of luxury

Tax room it doesn’t look like so a lot of interesting things that I can do in the off season but I think the first thing is to trade CJ before his decline cuz he’s 32 and then you got Z who’s 23 and then so Valen Jun and Mum it’ll be

Interesting to see if I can actually like retain them but here goes nothing all right let’s simulate the rest of the season Dyson janiels is back let’s reust the rotation see if he fit makes the rotation he he makes a rotation yep just we just need no injuries real quick 42

Zion hyperx left Zion Williamson hyper exended left knee dayto day H I said no injuries right it’s dayto day so I don’t think it’s going to be that bad yeah it’s fully healed we’re good we are good we might win 50 games here 50 yep 51 52 oh 5131

All right yic wins MVP okay one Bama Rookie of the Year that’s accurate Malik monk for Sixth Man of the Year good for him and then let’s see if any Pelicans made first team nope nothing here all right so we’re the four seed against the Clippers but for coaching game plan

Reasons I’m probably going to turn the rotation into an eight-man rotation I think 10 for the playoffs is a little bit unrealistic we need our best players playing at all times for sure for sure and that cuts out Dyson Daniels Hawkins too oh Hawkins is going to be really

Important in the future I can just tell now let’s see if we beat the five seed LA Clippers who have they made any sweeping okay is kawhai hurt oh no Kawhi Leonard is hurt Twisted left knee so they might be playing PJ Tucker at the Fort okay this should be without

Kawai okay okay so we came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the LA Clippers I want to see this box score let’s see if Kawai came back Kawai came back let’s see if kawhai played oh kawhai played every game okay now the Pelican shot poorly from three but they got it back

For the next four games okay good so the Phoenix Suns were the e seed and managed to come back and beat the number one seed Oklahoma City Thunder okay let’s see if we can okay we advance to the Western Conference Finals if the Pelicans reach the Western Conference

Finals I would be so happy for them in real life so now we got Zion versus Luca Luca I think is Kyrie injured Kyrie might be injured here broken left toe two to four weeks so we’re playing a six seed Luca donit without Kyrie Irving so

I’m interested to see oh but Zion gets hurt come on man that’s the break that oh fully healed dude Zion getting hurt and Luca dropping a 44 point almost triple double average I didn’t think the Zion injury thing would come back to bite me in a video game today was not expecting that

All right Sixers gay gotten bead back they play Maxi at the two and I would play Maxi at the one and have buddy he’ll play the two I would not start Kyle Lowry what are we doing okay congrats to the Sixers on winning the championship thanks to Joel

EMB coming back but that’s an absolute brutal performance by the Pelicans in the Western Conference Finals I don’t want to trade Zion I don’t think I want to be forced to trade Zion but the injury history is making it feel like I have to if I ever want this

Team to have a chance of succeeding and and I don’t want to fall into that notion okay LeBron retires Al Horford Mike Conley Rudy Gay Brook Lopez Greg papovich retires interesting now let’s check the draft lottery see if we have any oh we have a pick okay so we have a

Lottery pick via the Los Angeles Lakers but I’m just going to skip and see what we get we get the 14th seed we get the 14th pick Detroit goes a number one pick okay Alex SAR goes to Utah Jobe Walter to Charlotte Ron Holland to the Bulls yeah okay let’s Sim

To our pick received 22 trade offers let’s see what they would be Caruso would be nice but He’s listed as a small forward so I’m guessing no Boston Celtics offering two picks but they’re going to be good so those picks are both not going to be worth it in my opinion

The Hawks turning that okay look at here the Hawks want to offer us pick 15 and pick 18 I might come back to that pick I don’t think pick 14 is going to be that spectacular but if I can get two draft picks here for the price also who are

They after that’s really interesting Utah 25 first round pick 25 first round pick ooh Utah might be interesting depending on it’s a gamble depending on how good they’ll actually be but we’re getting a lot of future first round picks offers the Knicks are offering this oh so the Pelicans have another

First round pick we have the 24th pick also huh so there’s a pick swap thing here Toronto no that’d be awful oh shenon so the Rockets are offering us shenon for Larry Nance and a 14th pick I don’t think I can I can’t afford to pass

Up on this deal I can’t afford to pass up on that so I’m going to trade for that wow okay now I think the problem is going to be paying for everybody the thing is I don’t want either of these rookies and I think we need as much cap

As possible Dyson Daniels yes yes so what did I do wrong there’s probably a catch here but who’s a free agent now it’s valent chunis right so with so with us signing with us trading for shenon I think valent chunis walks but I don’t

Want to have him just for free I think I can negotiate this contract valent chunis agrees okay so we have 8 mil in cap room but we’re going to renounce the rights to Cody Zeller and yeah okay now we’re negative 28 million in cap which is fine but we

Have the roster of Zion Ingram shenon McCollum valent chunis herb Jones Murphy now I know that shenon is on a one year for 5 million but we’re going to pay whatever it we’re going to pay whatever necessary to get him for sure valent chunes can walk for all I care I’m

Probably likely to trade him midseason which is fine but I think the gang’s all here I don’t think I need to do any more biting in free agency let’s see how we progress see shenon goes to an 87 Zion goes to a 93 and Ingram stays the same valent chunis declines McCollum declines

Yeah that all makes sense so my thing is we have two more years of CJ we have three more years of yonas I want to turn yonas into something else cuz I don’t think yonas is going to be happy with shenon taking all of his minutes and shanon’s um after shanon’s rookie

Whatever we’re going to have to Shell out some more money which is fine all right so we have a front office of this but I can’t trade valent chunis until January 26th which is fine maum I can trade but I don’t think I need to trade him right now so valent chunis and

Sangun are going to play a lot of minutes together I guess which is fine and Zion could play oh my goodness well well if we’re only playing eight people we should probably play 10 just for the sake of the regular season but I feel like this team’s going to be really good

Good Lord let’s see how good this team is whoa why did the p why did we get that trade offer that’s a crazy trade offer 276 overalls for Zion do they know something we don’t know Trey young Trey young and buffkin for Co sangon and CJ McCollum no respectfully no Kobe white

And vich for Zion no seems like NBA teams know something we don’t but I’m waiting until January to trade valent chunis right Murphy I don’t need another I do not need another Center I need more guards you need a point guard specifically Tyler herro and Duncan

Robinson for Zion no can’t do that 14 and five 15 and five yep we’re starting off great second in the conference third in the power rankings first in the power rankings but I got to wait till January 26 to start Fielding valent chunis trades Gabe Vincent and Jeremy Grant no

Zion 6 to8 weeks with left shoulder tendonitis oh no bro this man stay getting hurt all right Damien lard AJ Green for Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum in 2K land that sounds great but Damen Lillard is aging and expensive now we have valent chunis injured this team

Really can’t stay healthy bro no I want I like shenon and Herb Jones 26 and 10 first in the conference valent chunis is back just the winds keep piling up all right so first in the conference still beat the Nets another trade no absolutely not see we beat the Nuggets

No the Nuggets kill us Jesus when does zion get healthy Zion’s healthy now that’s great welcome back buddy dearon Fox and Grayson Allen for Brandon Ingram in a first round pick dearon Fox is tempting negotiate this trade dearon fox has two years left on his deal Brandon Ingram

Has one year left we’d give a 27 first no I need a second okay so now that valent chunis is tradable we got a lot of centers I need a point guard probably shenon is on the bench that’s crazy uh let’s let’s see who would wait actually let’s see who would want to

Trade for shenon actually just just being curious just being curious I don’t know if the trade off is going to be that we get Talons for four years he’s 29 no I can’t I can’t do that in Full Faith also Russell Westbrooks on the Timberwolves interesting Jamal Murray

For no cam Thomas interesting no I can’t do that so I guess we have to go to valent chunis for the trade options valent chunis for Darius Garland oh is that worth it I that might be worth it depending on what we see here um um Darius Garland and Trey

Murphy valent chunis and Darius Garland for Trey Murphy and Amman bit not sure that sounds doable actually I I actually like this a lot I actually like this a lot but I wonder what this makes the game plan look like does this move McCollum to shooting guard it moves

Him to the bench and then you get shenon starting dude I love this roster I love this lineup right here now again it all it all hinges on us staying healthy and I know that our finances are cooked but it is what it is yeah we are -45 million

So I think we’re going to be signing a lot of people to the minimum oh actually I do probably need to trade Brandon Ingram I can’t afford him I can’t afford him after this year I need someone I need a longer contract here from somebody Desmond Bane maybe

Lori Markin in one year no I need no not Grayson Allen sorry dear Fox would be cool but I already traded away we already have two point guards man OG OG three years since when is Jaylen dur on the Orlando Magic that’s tough Nicholas Claxton for three years no Miles Turner

For no RJ Barrett at least we’re we’re delaying our contract problem a little bit all Anthony Talons for 4 years and jadeen McDaniels oh yeah I’m making that trade easily okay let’s see what our finance or our finances are still cooked don’t get me wrong but let’s see uh this

Bench is Zion that’s actively crazy I might have to change Zion to a small forward I would have Zion play the small forward in this and just yeah I’d have Zion just be a weird little small forward power forward and also playing position basketball here which is fine

So I think that this helps the game plan cuz now we have two bigs that can operate on the perimeter as well so I don’t think this is that as bad as I think but now you have look it’s hard to get four players better than this in the

Game honestly yeah let’s just see how this works okay still first and I think we just we have just we have avoid voided our contract problems we’ve avoided our contract problems in the near future herb Jones injured that’s unfortunate but this team is first in the conference oh 8 to 10 weeks

Shenon dude this might all be for nothing I mean I think we can still win regular season games don’t get me wrong o contract extension let’s see if I can uh let’s see if I can extend some contracts Alvarado will resign got it oh [ __ ] sangon might walk cuz he has no

Option oh okay that’s why I thought he had a player option I messed up worth it though don’t care that was worth it for one year of a championship or bust I think it’s worth it I feel like the Pelicans are a team that looks at the

Writing on the wall and can go all in which is fine I think that that’s fine and I’d be willing to see if shenon wants to stay okay herb Jones yes shenon fully healed that’s what we want to see 50 wins 51 dude I am so tired of Zion Williamson getting hurt I’m so tired of this I am so tired of this bro every freaking season Zion Williams gets hurt I’m trading him next season bro I cannot do this anymore everything was going so well now the thing is is that I think

This team is deep enough to where we could possibly get away with it but we’re not good enough oh my God Zion get off of my team all of this all of this for what bro to to lose to Memphis all right we swept all right all this to

Lose to what Golden State a golden state that doesn’t have clay or Dre anymore we lose to Clint Capello bro all right second round exit the Hawks wow 40 points from Steph Curry to win the championship now this gets now this gets bad we have a bad off season ahead

Of us let’s see the draft lottery see what have if we have any picks still so the Anthony Davis trade has worn off I’m very afraid oh we get Jared McCain nice shenon qualifying offer okay so I think shenon is a restricted free agent but he’s definitely going to get offered

Bro paed the offer 3 years6 mil we’re matching that baby -77 in cap bro oh goodness I mean at least we’re keeping him Zion you’re about to go I’m about to send you away dude that H another another season McConnell for the minimum alado Dennis Smith Jor is good for

Defense now that quickly we can get a manual oh no we can’t this is Affordable Duncan Robinson yeah I’ll try Duncan Robinson bogdanovic Ora maybe Hayward Highsmith for the minimum all right I think that that’s it now let’s see the progression I got to trade Zion bro this

Man is never going to get this man’s never going to stay healthy and I hope that I hope that that’s not the case in real life I just want to stress this but the video game Zion has been hurt for two straight post Seasons now and it is messing up what

I’m trying to accomplish here all right we’re Fielding trades for Zion bro I am sick of this all right Zack LaVine in a first wow no Christ apps no Kawai Kawai is so old Kawai gets injured just as much as Zion does jiren Jackson no bam and hakz I already have

Shenon no Markin and Kessler would be fire oh Marin’s a small forward dearon Fox and Keegan Murray those are expiring Markin has a four-year deal which is pretty interesting Julius Randall and I might I might take Markin in man Mel Bridges and Cameron Johnson hting but no

Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon no I am not giving Zion to the Spurs that’s crazy to the Wizards no I think that Lori Markin in for and Walker Kessler perfect Z I can’t I can’t do another I can’t do another year of you getting hurt I just can’t do it it’s it’s

Breaking my heart bro and this is fine with me do we really have a point do we really have a shooting guard no we have one shooting guard two shooting guards I actually like how this team is constructed I this is fine I just can’t

I’m sorry I just can’t do it I know we’re going to be a good team it’s just a matter of staying healthy that’s it that’s legit it and I know that I do these Sims and don’t turn injuries off because I feel like that’s a cop out

Kind of okay Bruce right hip that’s fine that’s that’s one to two weeks we can deal with that and we get rid you know and get to the inseason tournament do we win oh we lost to the magic all right Trey young for Darius Garland I’m

Interested to see why they want that so Trey young is on an expiring deal oh they’re trying to flee no they’re trying to flee Trey young is one of my favorite players but the Hawks are trying to definitely fleece me there I think that they know that they can’t afford Trey

Young even though they were just in the NBA Finals not too long ago all right we’re the best team in the league 23 and 7 23 and 8 all right we’re getting a little we’re getting a little bit in inured here but that’s fine Lou Dort and Jonathan Isaac for Jaden McDaniels nope

I don’t want to trade Devonte Graham at all and Dyson Daniels is my backup point guard shooting guard and Herb Jones is my shooting guard it sucks I had to get rid of Trey Murphy but it is what it is also I love how I tried to turn the

Pelicans into a dynasty and I got rid of both Brandon Ingram and Zion prob Anthony Town’s food poisoning all right whatever what you be eating Carl bro that’s crazy can you feel energy RJ Barrett for Lori no I like Lori Lorie’s there for a reason all

Right 37 and 12 I’m excited this the trade deadline no we’re good migraine that’s okay Lori just get in title and all we’ll be all right yep there you go you see the vision I want to take a break and look at the landscape of the league here so we got Garland Town

Shenon marketing Kesler her Jones that’s a great team you got K Cunningham assar Jaylen green on the Pistons ivy on the Pistons Sasser dude I would love this team in real life Scotty Barnes RJ Barrett Jabari Smith Jr amen Thompson cam Whitmore yeah when Bama’s a 97 overall

At 22 and he got Cooper flag too that’s nuts so the Suns have Booker Durant who’s 37 Beal okay Chay Chad yep Edwards Ingram goar Steph Curry kuminga kabali Denny yeah I don’t know what the Wizards are thinking here embiid Maxi Tobias Harris yep nope old Dame the Bulls are

Just well at least the at least in this one the Bulls sold house and got rid of D rozen and ball okay adding Trey Murphy and Markel faal to this Cavs team I don’t hate actually now I don’t know where Jason Tatum went but he’s no longer on the Celtics James wiseman’s a

Clipper joha Mor where’s Jason Tatum Trey young to jontay Murray Jimmy Butler lamelo ball Zion is on the Utah Jazz okay dearon Fox JIS Randall Jaylen Suggs Lonzo ball Killian Hayes is still in the league where is Jason Tatum Jason Tatum joins Tyrese halberton and the Indiana Pacers o that’s a fun combo

That’s a fun little combo right there jadeen McDaniels hurt for 6 to8 weeks oh dear Lord jenon one to two weeks we are the number one team power ranking wise and Conference rank oh my God Lori no all I’m asking is that if we get hurt why don’t we just get

Hurt not when the playoffs are happening thank look all of this is falling apart again God we keep coming into I would if I would I would just like rest everyone all right 57 wins Luca is the MVP all right Darius Garland all MBA third team

Now let’s look at the stats here I feel like this is a really special team we have a top six defense and a top two offense oh wow that’s a special team the Thunder too but we lead the league in field goal percentage and we’re up there

In three-point percentage this is a good team this is a good team man all right now we’re playing Minnesota which has ant CJ Brandon Ingram goar Grant Williams and we are we’re fully healthy right now and we lose in five that’s great what happened what happened man this

Team just fell apart in the first this even I built a first round exit are you kidding me shenon 65 and seven what am I doing bro losing to the people that you traded for is a different type of just absolute loss here and of course Golden State’s back in the freaking finals

Somehow I do not understand this yeah okay that’s all right this is a cursed timeline I need to get out of here this is nuts all right guys thank you for watching till the end of the video feel free to like subscribe and comment on
