BI or Zion: Who do you want the Pelicans to trade for Scoot?

[Pelicanidae]

Which you’ll recoup a lot of picks if you do trade either Zion or BI.

If you're trading off 6 FRPs for scoot and then trading BI or Zion, you're completely resetting. At that point, don't shell out the picks for Scoot anyway, trade both BI and Zion, and do a real re-set.

One thing I'm sick of with this team is trying and failing to thread the needle. It isn't working, it hasn't worked, and there are very few historical examples of it working. Either go all in on winning or strip it down to start from scratch. Stop the ''we're going to thread the needle and end up just being not-bad-enough for a top pick but not-good-enough to make real noise either''.

No I’m trading all for scoot to play with BI and Zion. If it doesn’t work then you reset by building around Scoot.

[As I See It]

No I?m trading all for scoot to play with BI and Zion. If it doesn?t work then you reset by building around Scoot.

In theory, you are absolutely right, if you consider Scoot an All NBA type player. Personally, I'm not there; I'm from Missouri.

I like BI and want him to win things with the Pelicans. I was hoping the Pels would trade Zion for Scoot... but now it doesn't look the Pels plan to trade Zion or that the Trailblazers plan to trade Scoot.

So, if BI is going to be stuck in a situation where he has to be so dependent on Zion's weight... how would you guys feel about trading BI to the Mavericks for Kyrie Irving?

And do you think this lineup below can soon contend for a ring?

Luka Doncic.................. Jalen Hardy
Bruce Brown................. Josh Green
Brandon Ingram............ Reggie Bullock
Maxi Kleber................... O-max Prosper
Richaun Holmes............. Dereck Lively

Ban this guy

Why? I'm trying to think up win-win scenarios for everyone. This trade could work out really well for the Pels too. Having Kyrie will give y'all enough shooting around Zion at all times... while also being able to play either Herb or Dyson as the lead defender at all times. Kyrie and Dave Griffin also have a relationship that goes back years.

Kyrie............ GTA, McCollum
TM3............. McCollum, Hawkins
Herb............ Daniels
Zion............. LNJ, Liddell
Jonas........... Hayes, Liam

Doesn't this lineup have a better fit than what y'all rolled out last season?

When Zion is injured, y'all could run with: Kyrie, McCollum, TM3, Herb, Jonas.

Absolutely not, hell no. What team do you like because its obviously not the New Orleans Pelicans.

Pretty sure it's in his name.
