The Pelicans have a huge offseason coming up. Their front office guy David Griffin promised major changes. That means Zion’s life is about to change and this is a look at what New Orleans might do this summer to finally become a real contender.

The big IF is if Zion can actually stay healthy for a season or seasons to come. He's young and has shown that he can be a beast on the floor. But obviously inactivity is what's hurting him and the team. As a Hawks fan I'm not down to have DJ or Trae traded to the Pelicans. But, I do wish the Pelicans the best.

@A_T88 Ай бұрын

I agree. If we can acquire BI without giving up one of the guards, then we’ll have made some progress in the right direction I think. But it’s hard to see if any team will help the Hawks facilitate a trade without one of those guys.

I’m a late 60’s guy. Always hooped. Still shoot 4-5 times a week. I deem myself a person that knows basketball very well. Recently came across your videos. You do a very good job with your takes. The NBA for me has been tougher and tougher to watch. I see very poor defense. To many threes. Lack of passing. Lack of effort. But I do see things changing now. The old guard is falling off and the new guard coming in seems to play more to my taste. I see good things at Minnesota, OKC , and I think in two years San Antonio rise back up. Just my take. I know not much related to the video. But I’m now subscribed.

Wouldn't the Pels want a center that can stretch the floor ? I feel like spacing was an issue with Zion on the floor and getting Allen wouldn't solve anything. I don't know how far you can get with only three shooters on the floor. And more shooters around Zion would certainly be good because of his gravity in the paint.

@xstupdwhale252 Ай бұрын

Yeah but who is trading a stretch big who is also a good rim protector

@mekacrab Ай бұрын

@@xstupdwhale252 I don't know, I get that they may want to get a good replacement for Valanciunas if he leaves. Maybe using your assets on a good PG might be more impactful than on a good rim runner. They still need a center but maybe shouldn't use too many assets on one, especially if it isn't a very big upgrade like another rim runner.

Just a wild thought, but what would the Pelicans look like with Zion at the point? Other teams have to build a wall to keep him out of the paint, which leaves someone on the wing open. Zion MUST develop an outside shot, even if it's just a mid-range, and not a 3 point shot. I think Zion has a better chance of improving his outside shots than Giannis, but it will take time, and it he wants to stay in the league longer and not end up like Blake Griffin, he has to develop his game with new moves and better shooting, because that bounce at his weight isn't going to last into his thirties. It would be nice to see him stay healthy for an entire season and the playoffs, because if he can't, then he just isn't worth a max contract.

Do you think Zion Williamson would be in trade rumors right now had he not sign that rookie extension? I'm just wondering how many times the Pelicans management is willing to run it back when the same thing seems to happen every year with Zion's health. It just seems that every time the Pelicans get good, something happens to Zion that derails their momentum, and their season suffers because of it. With Victor Wembamyama winning ROTY, the eyes aren't on Zion anymore, he's been in the league for 5 years now and still hasn't lived up to what he was projected to be. No one should be surprised if his name shows up in trade rumors.
