re: Zion injury

I think that Zion is playing this injury up to push his way out of New Orleans, and follow Bove to the Philadelphia Flyers. He’s pushing for a new skate deal from Nike.
Man I hope so! Hopefully, we can get a first round pick or two for him.

I think people need to have patience with the rookies. They are hitting a rookie wall like what most rookies do. They have never played this many games nor at this level before. It will take a toll on you. Give them time. Queen is going to be alright !

I say kill two birds with one stone. Play the vets (Poole, Murray, Herb, and Zion) enough to push the pick up to about 8ish and push up their trade value. Then we can start the rebuild with maybe Fears, Trey, Bey, Missi, and Queen as the starters with a first round pick, Peavy, McGowens, and Karlo off the bench. I’d take my lumps with that roster.
I doubt they do that tho!

re: If there was a Re-Draft right now. Do you think Queen goes top 5?

I think the part that gets me about this team is that the roster has no direction and doesn’t fit. We seem to be catering to the older team core with Zion, Trey, and Herb but also have a new core of Queen and Fears.
Honestly, this needs to cut bait with Zion and Herb and get what you can for a rebuild. Also, Trey should be had for a Bane package. But I have no clue what Dumars is thinking.

Yeah I’ve accepted it already. I’m just ready to get it out the way.

The best worse part about Dumars taking over is that he drafted 2 potential all stars. It just sucks because I doubt Fears is going to be developed properly and Queen is a product of the worst trade in years.
It’s really not fair to the rookies.

I’m happy for Jose! He deserves better and also he gets to go home.
At least this hopefully gives Murray some minutes.

I wonder if the local media will laugh at the FO when Dumars gets out there and say we are a playoff team?!? I hope they do that at least for the fans!!!
re: Have to trade Zion by tomorrow….

I mean how many playoff games have we won with Zion in seven years? I’m not even talking about a series just games when he was playing?!?!

Wow! The Wizards were busy this trade season! Plus, they are going to have a top 5 pick.

They don’t. Dumars is doing the stupid two timelines approach instead of growing a pair of balls and picking a lane.
That’s my point! It seems like it would be smarter to embrace the younger timeline and focus on the development of Fears and Queen (which you took an enormous risk for). You should be acting like the Memphis and selling off assets to build around those two.
I’m not interested in seeing Zion and Morant play 15 games together in another losing season.

I guess my question would be how does Zion and Ja (if he’s traded here) fit with and/or help out with the development of Queen and Fears?
Let’s just assume that they are both healthy which is highly unlikely. Wouldn’t Ja take up a lot Fears minutes and Zion take up Queens?

I would have hoped that they finally move on from Zion but I doubt that the Pels will do the right thing.

I honestly have no idea what Dumars is looking to build with this roster. It’s like a broken core of (Trey and Herb lead by Zion of all people) in the way of the young promising core of (Fears, Queen, and what should have been a 2026 1st round pick).

I’m happy to the Pels are doing something right about trying to trade Missi for a first round pick during the deadline. Also, that they know they can wait until the draft and trade him for one in the late teens-20’s. I’m surprised!!

Has there been any trades yet?!?! I honestly can’t remember from all the rumors and hypotheticals lol.
re: Pels to be “ultra aggresive” at the deadline per ScoopB

This just means we’re about to get another player on a bad contract that doesn’t fit.
re: Best deals for Bey, Missi, and Alvarado
Posted by Mad Scientist26 on 1/25/26 at 11:21 am to Townedrunkard
The most obvious and logical move is to trade Zion and get back into the first round (to sort of make up for one of the worst trades of all time). But we know Dumars like Griff was before him is too stupid to do so.
Also, you can maybe trade Missi, Jose, and Bey to help the rebuild. But if they do it’s gonna be for players that don’t fit whatever they are trying to do.

re: Do the Pelicans have to represent their pick at the lottery?

I’d watch it just to see him get interviewed if they win. However, we know the lottery is rigged so it wouldn’t happen anyways.
