I Rebuilt The New Orleans Pelicans
all right all right all right it is December of 2024 we’re actually in the modern day rebuilding probably the most unlucky team in the NBA this season the Pelicans have had probably their eight best players all get hurt for extended periods of time so far from deante CJ McCollum herb Jones Zion Ingram Trey Murphy Jos Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins EES Missy had a little jump in his overall cuz you know he’s a rookie he got pretty decent and we’ll be happy to have him for this video but coming to the season those were their best eight players like you knew it was bad when deante literally broke his hand in the first game in his first game with the team and just to add to the curse Dyson Daniels has been absolutely incredible he’s probably been one of the better defensive play he’s been one of the best defensive players in the league who I’m assuming you know they they traded for deante but it’s not that there was a bad sentiment behind the move the team is trying to win now the only problem is you can’t win now when none of the players are playing now so today’s goal as you could obviously tell their injuries are on is to not only deal with that but deal with the fact that this team is 5- 20 in the last seed in the Western Conference even though they were you know probably expected to at least make a run for the playoffs but with the West nothing’s guaranteed but I mean shoot they were in the playoffs last year for now this team be down there with the Wizards and the Jazz so for this point of the rebuild like right now um there’s honestly nothing to do we just have to wait it out probably go to the trade deadline as of right now thankfully at the very least New Orleans does have their first round pick this year but this team isn’t really in the spot where you should be that excited to get first round picks oh here we go this is good so on top of the fact that I’m already dealing with the injuries that are currently occurring uh herb Jones just broke his left leg the team is still 14th in the conference Zion is back now and so is Ingram Okay cool so that was about like a month and a half I think that sounds about right the team is back and you know almost as healthy as we can be with herb Jones out now I think it’s safe to say I’m not going to run anything shorter than a 10-man rotation considering that you know everyone keeps getting injured and this team is very very good on paper okay at least they beat the damn Jazz I don’t even know if I want them to win anymore though the Rockets offered me Fred Van for CJ and it’s funny so I was going to mention that if there was one player I’d probably put on the Block as of right now just considering the age and everything it’d probably be CJ also Ingram’s already been in the news as is because he expires after this season he’s probably one of the bigger free agents and it’s going to be kind of awkward to try and resign him considering it it’s kind of felt like the writings been on the wall for him to leave for a while now and the NBA moves fast while today in December you know Ingram’s injured he’ll be back by the trade deadline and yeah you might have to consider moving the dude oh damn I’m just looking through the team to see which one Ingram should go to and the sun’s traded back for Chris Paul that’s mad random all right now yall might call me a crackhead but I think I found my spot where I want to trade Ingram to or at least try um Detroit they’re seventh in the conference they’re not far off from being a top four team in the conference in the East honestly Ingram and Kade Play Pretty similarly but that’s just the NBA so uh yeah you could deal with it all right I think I’m going to go ahead and do it we’re going to trade Ingram and a super future first round pick for Jaden Ivy and Tobias Harris now I really wanted to try and scr like assar away from this team but it didn’t seem like they wanted to give him away but to be fair if we get ivy on this team we can slot him as our scoring shooting guard of the future I’m a fan of his game in real life and I think video game specifically it’ll be a pretty good fit for us I was able to finesse the trade a little bit honestly didn’t really want Malik Beasley but I was really just trying to get it so I didn’t have to give up a first round pick but eventually they added it back in I just give up these three scrubs and uh we get Malik Beasley for the hell of it so maybe we could just like resign him and he’ll be around and he’ll be cool so yeah I’ll take it screw it now it goes without saying that we’re going to get rid of CJ McCollum now and by the way obviously Ingram wasn’t like a terrible fit for the team or something in 2K I just feel like they’re going to probably get rid of him in real life so I kind of wanted to go according to that plan if they don’t oh well all right so we are going to trade CJ McCollum Malik Beasley Tobias Harris and javante green to the magic for Anthony black Jonathan Isaac Goa and Cole Anthony magic probably wouldn’t want to get rid of Anthony black in real life for one though this is also called my NBA it’s not their NBA I don’t give a damn but they are a top three team in the East right now in the simulation and this would probably solidify them as a pretty high tier Contender if this they get this many scoring options and Tobias Harris gets to go back home so screw it so obviously those trades position us for now we have a second Center to EES Missy which is nice I like Goa I actually wish the Knicks got him in real life a great defensive forward to back up Zion a point guard a young point guard to replace we lost in Dyson Daniels and now the starters is just deante Jaden Ivy Trey Murphy Zion and one of the center they can choose it’s going to be Goa it looks like honestly I’m going to run 11 man rotation because herb Jones isn’t even back and Jordan Hawkins is the last man in the rotation we definitely want him to play I like the direction of the team but obviously uh the health and Zion and that that’s kind of the same thing oh Anthony black just got hurt oh Zion just got hurt right at the damn trade deadline that’s not a good sign how the didn’t it just say 2 to 4 weeks he just he just got healthy in 3 days oh Zion injured again four to 6 weeks let’s see how long it takes this time a week I didn’t change anything I don’t know why it’s going so quickly Luca MVP McCain Rookie of the Year a men wins six man Victor DPI a men wins most improved and LeBron gets clutch player of the year we only had one award winner and that’s EES Missy on the all rookie second team and we finished the year with 32 wins which is good for like fifth best in the league fourth best fourth worst I should say fourth best odds I guess oh damn shout out to the Pistons they lost in the first round I guess I hold them and the magic wait am I seeing things incorrectly okay at least jayen sus got hurt maybe that’s why they missed it cuz oh nkcp wow the magic fell off the face of the Earth though my goodness maybe yeah hey sucks for you guys I don’t know luuka wins Finals MVP against the Knicks Kevin Love retired the draft lottery a spot this team should not be excited to see at this point in their life but whatever I’m like a th% sure the Knicks traded that Washington pick to the Timberwolves but um you know how 2K goes oh boy the 76ers just jumped up into the top four shout out to them I guess they never got better and I guess we’re probably slated to go number five right now is it going to happen are we going to jump up okay we jumped up as well that’s good fourth pick it will be okay we stay exactly the same that worked net Wizard and Sixers get the top three obviously we could like Leverage this pick to trade it for something the main reason why I had to trade Ingram was because he was a free agent M column was more of a preferential thing hey I won’t do it but I probably couldn’t do it even if I tried but it is really funny I noticed in that other video shoot if you saw it you saw it but Victor is not Untouchable okay I the trade I just offered I I didn’t expect to get accepted I literally offered it thinking they were about to send me back the little you know what I’m saying oh uh we we’re thinking about this this offer but we’re going to renegotiate it with you um no they accepted it as you could see it’s the Charlotte Hornets we have made a huge blockbuster trade for Nick Richards n I’m lying it’s lamelo ball I I genuinely didn’t think they were going to accept this no I I didn’t offer the fourth pick I was trying to like feel them out to see where they were going I just put dejonte Murray Jonathan Isaac and two first round picks that weren’t this year’s and they accepted it that’s like the dumbest or like lowest return I’ve seen like I know the trade I don’t have the trade difficulty on 100 or anything but like it’s on 50 said normal but like I I’ve been doing a few videos recently and that’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while so welcome to your new franchise point guard and who’s going to be running and gunning with Zion or running and dunking I should say lamelo ball now though we have to deal with the health of two injury-prone superstars so that’s cool we’re obviously still locked into contention and everything and of course the rationalization behind this in my mind was I was looking through this saw the Hornets saw that they were 33 and 49 you know pretty garbage and said oh yeah okay lamelo’s probably going to want to leave now so uh yeah come over here you come take your brother’s old starting spot Shoot actually I just sign his brother I might do that Lonzo is always available in free agency this year and on top of that we we still have the fourth overall pick so obviously considering the fact that we just kind of lucked into solving our Superstar second star issue I was really just using deante a salary cap filler and I know he’s an 85 but I didn’t expect him to just be like oh yeah we’ll just take him yeah we have the freedom to draft a pretty damn good player now ideally considering the roster makeup it would be a bigger player that can maybe back up Zion although herb Jones and Trey Murphy could already both do that first pick is Dylan Harper second pick the Wizards get BJ Edgecomb oh my goodness they let Cooper flag he was the fourth rank pick wow I don’t know maybe the draft class got updated and made him worse or something but hey I’ll take it Cooper flag welcome to the Pelicans uh I don’t think I have any other picks to or whatever the hell to make and now we don’t need to sign do anything well I would love to troll the Lakers I’m going to trade Cole Anthony to the Thunder because you know how it goes take that Clippers pick take some of their money away it’s always a good deed oh the sixth overall damn sixth overall pick to the Knicks for oh shout out to eigor deine he just took melo’s number though and yeah I didn’t double down in this draft we were good where we were hey Lonzo ball pull up it’s not every day you get to reunite two Brethren hey along with Lonzo I found DJ Wagner in free agency he went undrafted but it said he had pretty good potential so a minus I’ll take it we could see what happens I knew I just should go go Scout like low rated players because oh you know what though there is injuries so did I go steal another center from the magic I just saw Mo out there yep Mo signed with us thank you very much he had a good amount of offers he just rocks with us Zion’s up to a 91 despite the injuries I was going to mention last season I thought he was going to get like he was going to Peak because of how many damn injuries he had but he didn’t lamelo’s a 90 Jaden Ivy’s an 84 okay herb Jones saw a little bit of a drop he also is 26 years old Trey Murphy also did as well he went down two overalls that’s that much is kind of surprising he crazily enough might not see the rotation just cuz I kind of like letting the coach handle the stuff this dude Carlo genuinely broke his kneecap in the summer league and is out for the season I’m only mentioning this because it told me I have to I can’t release him on the disabled list are you serious hey let’s have it like this you get your health back and get released anyways I don’t give a damn hey Brandon Boston is is actually pissed at us he’s like down to a 72 on the roster screen because we don’t play him but he’s pretty good so I’m going to trade him to Chicago for a first round pick and I’ll trade this dude out of here for a second I don’t really want him oh boy we already deal with the lamelo injury bug I’m not going to lie we are getting injured a lot like so far it’s only been like dayto days but I’ve seen EES Missy herb Jones lamelo Jordan Hawkins and we’re ninth in the conference currently it’s not the best not the best uh let’s do some reflection on the team currently I didn’t really I didn’t really pay attention to it but Cooper is starting at three I kind of expected this but they’re saying that Alvarado is a negative player be honest with you just to make things easier actually I just made him a shooting guard I was going to trade him I just made him a shooting guard instead and now lonzo’s faying over him n lamelo got hurt again he’ll probably back in yep there he is funly enough it doesn’t let you change the slider for injuries or like you change the duration or whatever all that type of stuff like this one right here Mo Vagner out 6 to 8 week it doesn’t let you change that mid or mid simulation at all oh Zion out four to 6 weeks this is not good you know what I should be happy about it it because yeah we’re catching a lot of injuries at least we’re still in the playoffs though Lonzo I should have known better this is an injury simulation okay it’s the day of the trade done line um by the way herb Jones ready to resign he’s been pretty good so yeah you come back Jordan Hawkins ready to resign sure why not I don’t really care oh he declined it oh now he’s mad bastard okay just get happy eventually Jose if you just want a minimum you could stick around anyways I don’t really care so yeah we’re eighth in the conference that’s kind of where you’d expect us to be anyways look at the stats obviously Zion’s leading in scoring 61% from the the field Cooper’s also averaging eight rebounds which helps a lot considering that our centers don’t seem to want to rebound at all oh Goa is though damn I’m not going to lie though we don’t have we we we have time with this team this team is relatively no they’re they’re just very young we have no players over the age of 30 on this team and everyone signed pretty long term except for Jaden Ivy who’s a restricted free agent and mo Vagner who who cares Zion broken right ankle one to two months uh bright side is oh Jade Ivy injured bright side about oh my God Mo Vagner broken ankle Jade iy back lamelo ball injured we were I was just going to say you know the the confidence I instilled in them is good and everything they’re coming back but this is not a good sign we have the training staff of Hell yic won MVP Cooper flag Rookie of the Year 158 and four game in this starting rle with two blocks in a steel hardenstein sixthman of the Year Victor DPI Sasser most improved and J Moran clutch player with Jason kid as the coach of the year we had no all NBA players whatsoever or defense although you know Cooper won it one rookie of the year so that’s cool I guess we are the seven seed in the playing most recent injury I saw was that Lonzo was hurt um yeah he’s literally just out for a couple of days but as of right now I mean our rotation is pretty flexible regardless and we’re going to lose the first playing game to the Clippers so we have to play a second playing game against the Sacramento Kings please don’t tell me we’re about to lose two playing games with the seventh seed oh my God Yep this was an alltime stinker lamelo ball and Zion have failed to make the playoffs and Tyrese versus Luca in the finals Luca gets another one we’re going to have to lock in Klay Thompson tired whatever happens oh I mean actually I didn’t have access to this pick in the first place but just pray that that pick from the Bucks doesn’t go up okay it didn’t Thunder get the damn first pick from Philadelphia oh we actually got our own pick back because I don’t really know why oh because the Bucks are 15th so we were just going to get one of those two anyways we also have the 18th pick from the Clippers and the 22nd pick from the Bulls those are just two I finessed along the way at some point okay so I traded hose in the 18th pick to the Bulls for the eighth pick I just decided to move up if I could not really much of a downside to it oh damn I I skipped over it on accident like that little popup that comes up during the draft but I saw the Spurs traded their seventh pick to the Hornets and they traded for deante Murray so deante is back on the damn Spurs also this is honestly easy pick I’ll pick Jaden quainton here with this uh eighth one he’s ranked mad highly it’s said he is all NBA ceiling I’ll take him and he’s a center and you know we’re not like fully set at that position him and EES Missy would be a good rotation and I’ll take 18-year-old Nate AMT with our next pick next one I’ll go Bryson Tilly not Bryson tiller but Bryson Tilly the dudes who usually make these draft classes always just randomly mess up the name so maybe this is just that dude although I won’t lie we’ve now drafted three young front Court players I’ll I’ll draft the point guard I know Kaden Booz is up here I know he’ll probably be good and so we get those three he obviously isn’t going to well none of them are going to play off the rip but yeah there’s a universe where we could possibly get Luca but that’s not this one we have 15 players already so I’m going to have to release somebody as it is so I’m just going to sign Jaden Ivy and keep it pushing also since I resigning Ivy made me think of it we’re going to resign Anthony black a year in advance and screw it as as well as Goa even though he’s not coming off his rookie contract this is just a normal whatever the hell Luca signed with the damn Trailblazers and dearen fox went to the Clippers Trey young went to the Mavericks Zion’s up to a 93 anyways lonzo’s up to a 91 Ivy’s up to an 86 let me go check on Brandon Ingram is he still oh damn he left them to be fair my sentiment was positive also they would have got Quinton gr back my sentiment was positive because in real life usually like just now just this past offseason when the Pacers signed back Pascal when you trade for a player usually it gives them like like oh hey I’m going to resign with this team cuz they like me a lot except for Kawai and he won a damn Championship that being said I don’t know where the hell what’s his name went oh he’s on the Nets that’s nasty yeah I’m not going to lie this team has the entire formula for winning Cooper only went up by two overalls though that’s kind of crazy either way he’s a really good player for the team so I can’t be mad at it and Trey Murphy is stuck at a 78 he really might be cooked he’ll have opportunities to play of course because you know one injury and he’ll be in the rotation but yeah in general though I really like this team this team is fantastic they just have to get the damn job done you know I will go ahead I’m going to run an 11 man rotation off the rip because you know it’s Murphy is our 11th man and might as well get him in there and even if one of them gets injured and we still running it I’m cool with any of these rookies playing so we just got to mitigate whatever the injuries are and also speaking of the injuries let me go check some oh yeah damn oh you know what huh huh I just went to there yo I’m looking so they have a badge glossery right I see this little one with a Band-Aid it’s not in the sports medicine tab I go over to General it says experimentor uses unorthodox recovery methods often extends the injur time hold on what about the next one medhe heads sniffs out medical issues okay that’s good I guess and sleep doctor but why are you okay so I noticed there’s this one guy down here who has a five star potential and he’s the same ratings or whatever let me let me fire you I’m going to get to do with the five star potential at least he can maybe end up helping us is that that’s Steve Smith that ain’t L leis Pard I didn’t even know they had old Steve Smith in the game hey you know what this year it took us much longer to get our first injury it was Jordan Hawkins at like the 4-we mark so I’ll take it you know who else I haven’t really questioned yet uh yeah the coach I rock with you Willie Green Let’s just say though you’re all in the hot seat I don’t know I’m going to let him Rock for probably this season though hey we’ve only had two injuries two or three injuries the whole year even if someone else gets hurt I’ll take it and one of them was Lonzo so that barely even count that D that other dude was over there tweaking out okay Trey Murphy got injured even though he’s playing six minutes a game but I’m not even going to really focus on the injuries because we’re fifth in the conference it’s pretty good it is the trade deadline day oh great Zion’s ready to resign obviously I’m going to do it regardless okay herb Jones out for a month that’s kind of tough oh I also kind of just simulated past the trade deadline without even thinking about it but I mean as long as we make the playoff we’re good okay Zion got his first injury at the end of the season so that’s good he also came back in one day joic wins MVP AJ deona rookie of the year eigor dein six man dpy to Victor Devin Carter most improved and and Steph Curry hello Mark dagnal Thunder with the best team in the league Zion did just barely damn I wanted assar Thompson and now he’s on the all NBA imagine if we just had assar instead of Jaden Ivy to be fair though I mean it’s just because of the the rebound stats and oh and the defense damn 28 and5 for Zion to sneak onto the all NBA third team we ended up as the fourth seed playing Anthony Edwards in the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round they lost goar they start Rob Dillingham now and and Julius randle’s still there we lose the first game by 13 also for the record here’s our season stats we win game two by 23 points game three is a big L 13 Jaylen Wilson led the game in scoring all screw let’s get a look at this team for the first time so we’re up are we up I don’t even remember I wait I think Jaylen Wilson just beat us so we’re down 21 I see that Timber rolles got Daniel Gafford in the game and we’re passing the ball to go to Zion wearing 22 and why did he just throw the oh lamelo took his number that’s insane I’m like how would he lose his number of all people and he lost it to lamelo oh hell no I’m changing that after this game Hooper flag all the way gets to the rim takes it himself yeah we totally lucked into getting him cuz he has just basically replaced you know Brandon Ingram and we still got ivy on the perimeter this team this team’s got to win a ring I’m not going to lie ant the spin that’s off rebound by ant and he gets fouled lamelo trying to get open pass it down and Missy the layup is off I’m not going to lie one of my friends was texting me and I lowkey looked down and I don’t even know if I missed anything but any oh my goodness I didn’t miss that lamelo on the break all the way layup is good maybe you keep that number one my bad and back up the other way guarded by Ivy he will go left all the way the block by Missy off the weak side rebound by Zion Zion all the way to the bat he pulls up the shot but the oh the put back by Missy EES Missy with two incredible plays and Edwards back up the other way he tries to get to the basket pulls up that is good lamelo steps back behind the back all the way takes what’s his name Monte Morris I think that is to the basket where’s uh where’s Rob Dillingham at maybe he fouled out I definitely have foul out on for this anyways an it’s all the way dunks over Ivy yeah 2K definitely buffed them dunks but that is something he do anyways lamelo running it again the love of Zion got involved again but I mean he also missed his last shot lamelo is cooking though he’ll get all the way layup and one over Daniel Gafford lamelo you going have to lock in to beat a team like Luca’s team although it’s the Blazers now but an will go right at Gafford get steps back not really getting anywhere he’s going to keep barreling into Ivy and stops Fades away that is off rebound by Gafford back out ant pulls it right there and that is good I didn’t even realize they were down by four but yeah now they’re down by two they’ll foul so I it looks like this about to be a 22 series OH Ivy missed the first free throw they have no time outs low Ivy makes the second free throw and Edwards again to the he’s going to go to the basket again I mean interesting decision we’ll call a timeout to advance the ball I actually kind of like that although there is a lot of times where you throw the dumbest passes ever on these so hopefully they don’t do that now lamelo ball should take the initiative and just run up right now and yeah there you go pass over Johnson will shoot the F fallway shot and he makes it it is a tied game and we call our final timeout these sick bastards want to have the damn basketball Gods on their side and Missy in lamelo could he get it off it’s not good anyways okay it is a one-point game with 40 seconds left we have the ball wear up by one oh Hawkins and Anthony blacker in lamelo is out of the game I don’t know if he fouled out or what but Cooper Flags going to take the initiative he goes to the rim and he gets the bucket a is going to pull the shot he had a lot of room for the three and he misses it rebound by Missy they foul Missy that’s a good person to foul but Gafford also fouls out Missy at the line he makes the first 67 not bad hand in the corner for some reason he drove to the rim and that’ll do it a with 32 and 45 minutes Zion with 31 and 36 minutes 11 rebounds as well damn wolves are going to win this one by six points Rob Dillingham with a career-high 38 points Randle got hurt and they are up 3-2 it’s been a blood bath of a series and we’re going to win this battle a 22-point win Ivy led the led the team in scoring almost a league randle’s still playing through whatever injury he’s got it’s a strained right hip like the same thing Zion has in real life and we are going to win in seven thankfully Randle actually led the team in scoring that’s kind of funny got to the line a lot put his life on the line yeah this game was a total domination we are going to be playing though the titans of the league the Oklahoma City Thunder and they just won game W 148 to 114 now I’m yeah oh hold on we’re giving them a fight oh you know what I never changed their numbers I’m going to do that it’ll give us our good luck right now probably not but screw it yeah we’re down 3 0 30 point loss okay this one was finally a win Goga baz just got injured but we did win another game though we could force game seven was it false hope good hope I don’t know oh crazy come come back to force it a two at 139 to go this feels like a series I’d normally be on The Winning Side of but now potentially losing like I i’ normally feel like I’d be the Thunder controlling in this situation he passed into Ivy I gave lamelo number four I don’t know I I couldn’t remember if he like wore any other number anyways he’s dribbling right into Shay pass back out to Zion’s injured he got injured in this game cuz it would have told me otherwise he’s out there looking good though he’s running swell on the transition but at the very least we oh boy got Chad on lamelo and he’s going to ISO saw a lot of this in one of the recent videos where I had Chad on the damn team and uh yeah he’s pretty good at this I’m not going to lie so can you just double team yeah thank you uh EES Missy pass back out please don’t hit that case Wallace let’s go great hey good stuff by E Missy again beautiful and Anthony Black’s trying to cook he’s going to pass it over to lamelo lamelo to the basket he gets fouled and that’s to the to the free throw line oh Jaylen Williams found out he only had eight points but whatever I guess we’ll take it who just subbed in who is that I don’t know oh that’s Robert Williams no that’s Dron Holmes is that his name Missy playing good defense right now in Chad CAD going to go over the screen though and and he gets a good amount of room but not really Miss’s right there look at Eaves lamelo back up the other way 38 seconds to go he will pass it down to Zion for the dunk and he’s still getting up there whatever it is he ain’t stopping him 35 seconds to go great comeback right now just need one more stop from lamelo lamelo on Shay Shay trying to get to his go-to shot he will go to the left the spin oh pump fakes it goes up and that is good yeah yeah he led them to sleep 22 seconds to go they have the last shot please take the last shot don’t don’t do do nothing too soon they have a timeout as well 6 seconds to go 5 Seconds lamelo to the basket he gets blocked whose ball is that Pelicans ball still so it’s definitely going to be the last shot especially with 2.8 to go and I like the spot they’re inbounding it from though I have a good feeling about this who’s passing it in it is EES Missy and he’s got Ivy right in front of him he’s not going to pass it to him though he’s going to have to Ivy at the buzzer the fadeaway the corner three and that man he was wide open a year ago damn we have got smoked in the OT Zion he tried bucko even through the injury we had a really good game and we lose by six points and you know what this is a good stepping stone season though I will say I will say this is a good stepping stone of a season and we lose I wonder what injury he got for the record say broken finger out for the season uh it says he would still be playing so he didn’t really give a damn but maybe it would last for the season yeah yeah it would actually that’s kind of that kind of sucked it was going to affect the hell out of his rebounding and his shooting and his passing makes sense that’s a Mickey finals they got Gan yabu starting at Center on the cab I’m assuming Jared Allen just got hurt yep he’ll probably back before the finals oh my God they won congratulations Draymond retired with the Grizzlies CJ retired with the Pistons somehow he made his way over there the Rockets have two top three picks now we got to watch out for these dudes and then we have no first round picks this year but we kind of don’t need them I’m my rotation relatively set it might be let me see actually I never really checked the stats funnily enough on the advanced stats cuz we were playing well so I didn’t you know overthink it okay so now Trey Murphy was a positive player last year so I’m not going to get rid of him he might not be in the rotation though but I’m not going to get rid of him though I will say if we really want to Super Duper level up and I know ease Missy was cooking in those little moments that we had during the games but I think the one spot we could potentially get better at is the center I know we drafted that dude Jaden but obviously that’s not a quick fix he’s a 77 so that’s going to take a little while now EES is at 84 I want to keep him he’s going to be the backup regardless but I’m that’s just my guy but if we could find a way to do something like like herb okay so like look herb Jones who obviously doesn’t start anymore he’s also not shooting the best brings great defense you know I I maybe would have to get rid of you know a part of the core of the Pelicans just get rid of him and Trey Murphy and maybe Goa and get a center I actually want to I want I’m going to check that out oh yeah I already got an idea you know what I I’m going to wait for the player progression period because we’ll only benefit from that trade-wise more than likely oh my God oh my God the Rockets have traded their first overall pick for Joel embiid you know what’s crazy I’m not even like this type of guy but I’m the chill guy meme with the Darin ham hands in the pockets but I did put my hands on my head they’re still there just at the look of this and Abraham Jun Mo maker Bowl will go to the 76ers the Rockets select Elijah Arena so they get Elijah Arenas and Joel and beat in one draft and I’m not going to lie to you that was definitely one of my options that I matter of fact two of my options which maybe you could argue that one of them is actually more feasible now is senon I was looking at sangun and embiid and now one of them got traded um hypothetically I could still did I just say Amen Thompson what the hell actually not a bad trade but uh I don’t know um this feels illegal like I know lamelo is good but a men shoot he might be better how this game is but I was going to wait till the player progression and maybe offer for Joel because I know he’s going to get worse cuz he’s 33 years old but now they traded for him since we’re here though and I’m just revealing my plans the other player though that I was going to or maybe my two other options were Anthony Davis which would be funny cuz Pelicans reunion everything as well as bamat bio um both of those teams suck Jimmy is obviously as you could see gone and so was LeBron and both yeah like I said both their teams were really garbage so it would make a lot of sense just in case I do go and trade our all of our forwards I’m going to I’m going to offer Michael Porter Jr and he has signed with the team we literally don’t need anybody else though Zion and lamelo both get worse for some reason ad is down to 89 so he should be very feasible to trade for I know he’s old but I’m trying to win soon so that’s not really my concern anyways now he did average less points then bam he shout out to Bron he’s up to an 81 embiid also went down to an 86 that trade honestly looks terrible because that rookie was probably already like an 82 or an 80 I’ve also just found out that joic and Giannis both just both left their teams yic went to the Warriors and Giannis went to the Suns I only say that because I just saw both of them aren’t Untouchable but it’s kind of a cheat because they uh okay um yeah remember what I said about cheating remember what I said about cheating yeah I mean I wouldn’t consider it a cheat when you trade your your heart soul blood in tears for the player um we have we have acquired nicoa yic nicoa yic is on the New Orleans Pelican for Anthony black Trey Murphy herb Jones EES Missy Jaden quaintance and Michael Porter Jr I traded the damn world for him so now our our rotation looks like lamelo and Lonzo Jaden Ivy and Hawkins uh Cooper flag is the only is the only small forward but uh I mean I guess we have oh Wagner got pretty good so I guess he could play and and Boozer this was like um this is like when the Knick traed for towns and and and uh then we realized we had no bench anymore and Cameron Payne started playing that’s that’s the best scenario I can propose joic is now on the New Orleans Pelicans um in an unprecedented move he’s 32 years old but joic doesn’t really get that much worse in this game so who cares honestly y’all know me I’m I was just excited to see the dude was available and not Untouchable I had to do it oh oh damn I need R okay we also got Nate aent so yeah our rotation looks pretty damn good hey you know what I’m going send out a contract Ben Simmons just in in case we need somebody welcome to the team we’ve really got Cooper flag Zion lamelo ball Lonzo ball and Ben Simmons on the same team it’s like a hype man’s dream oh we got a new Co I’m not going to lie uh I noticed cuz the rotations was different don’t tell me someone signed Michael staer screw it get Chanty out of here I’m signing Jacob Underwood hey you know what though let’s be more excited than concerned cuz we got yic yic working with this is a crazy thought joic out here and and lamelo facilitating for Zion and pooper flag shoot even Jaden Ivy hey now that we got him I’m throwing on the Nuggets Playbook I don’t give a damn and I pray yic doesn’t get injured cuz he doesn’t really do that in real life oh Zion getting started early and we are on a pretty crazy win streak right now I was actually about to go look at trades we were playing so trash and now we’re winning a lot oh then we lost three four straight damn I’m not going three players just got injured thankfully we got this dude Nate aant as a backup four cuz Zion’s hurt but then Lonzo and Jaden iy both also got hurt so now Ben Shepard’s in the rotation who the hell knows what’s going on congrats to him for his first minutes of the Season Luca wins MVP with the Blazers Tyron Stokes Rookie of the Year Liam wins six-man Victor DP this dude burries most improved and Tyron Lou the coach of the Blazers coach of the year huh I turned on injur I turn injuries to uh what’s it called Auto what the hell set the rotation you can’t be serious he got injured in the last game of the season let me let me look at the social media tab there’s no way jokic just broke his leg in the last game I literally turn I just didn’t feel like clicking on the icons I know we’re like a good team so like I was like okay I’ll just you know what I’m saying I didn’t get the little popup shoot I might have not got it anyway since happened in the last game well guess what Ben Simmons is our starting center now lamelo’s a little bit hurt too but he’s all right and we are playing Victor of course we are well even after trading majority of the team wait a second this isn’t us what am I talking about I’m over here Sim casting the damn wrong team what what the hell what was that about matter of fact actually now I’m interested can I see their lineup oh they got mpj out there Delano Banton I just knew we traded like half our team there anyways we’re tied 1-1 now with the Kings and dearon fox either isn’t there maybe was traded for Jabari Smith or is injured uh we’re definitely still better than them that goes without saying and we make it far enough to where jic comes back and yeah it looks like at the very least Fox just isn’t here oh wait I think I remember saying he went to the Clippers a while ago they also brought back Davon Mitchell we are going to go up 31 and 32 33 of course okay cool game seven looks to be pretty easy win 25 6 and 10 from lamelo 24 from Zion 22 from Cooper and oh man this is the absolute worst timing we have to play why why are they the second seed why couldn’t why couldn’t you guys be the first seed this year with yic still out for four to 6 weeks there’s no chance he comes back during the series and we are playing the Thunder we got smoked in game one why why is yic getting hurt okay we win we win game two and three lose game four all right let’s sast get absolutely pummeled in game five oh boy we locked in for game six but they just took a little lead a seven-point Advantage for them in this quarter down by four let’s jump in Zion is that Center against har or actually no I think hardenstein is at power forward I’m pretty sure pass down to Zion or maybe he is I don’t know anyways he is bullying the hell out of iHeart and he will get the foul Zion at the line first one is good and I think yeah Ben just subed back in Zion will miss the second though pass over to Powell Powell is injured but oh my goodness he’s still cooking though hit a mean behind the back to bring them up by five Hooper flag will ice over the top of the key he’s definitely earned this right at this point oh my goodness he gets right to the basket that like a damn NBA Live animation look at that dunk just looks mad on Orthodox Shay up at the other end of the Court pass down to Chad Chad is guarded by Zion Oh Zion is bodying him though and Chad will shoot through him he misses good defense by Zion I guess yeah that this the size Advantage whatever the hell the strength oh my goodness Cooper gets it back and misses we’re still down by three and this would be the end of our series of be L season I should say pass down again to Chad Chad is not moving Zion at all he is bodying the out of him he’ll pass it out to hardenstein hardenstein get now he’s getting bodied by Ben and back to Chad Chad going around Zion back out again deona will shoot a fade away through and oh my God Cooper will try and get around his Defender again they’re letting him go and oh my goodness he has earned the right Shay on the wing he’s going to pass it down to Chad it looks like again they are not really giving the ball to Shay much and they’re going to double chat Chad will pass it out good defense the rotations Powell now with the ball they’re going to double him leave deona open rebound oh my good rebound by lamelo lamelo we got a chance he he’s going to pull up the three and he misses it you know what’s crazy that’s the most lamelo ball shot ever he had the whole Lane yeah the three is cool but you know points would have been better either way hypothetically chat would have hit both free throws anyways and yeah we would have needed a three at this point but instead we got nothing Cooper goes to the basket again all the way my goodness but they’re still hitting their free throws and this game’s going to be over Cooper keeps going to the basket though my goodness and he misses well another loss I I think it’s safe for me to say I think we would have gave them a mean at least run for their money with yic and we lose without him sick bastard’s probably back now too let me let me go oh no he’s damn he’s still not back and we would have been in the final hold on I want to check again it is G oh my goodness it’s game did they just lie to me it’s game seven the finals and he’s still not back Luca wins Finals MVP over the rap Raptor oh no the Raptors won it l by quickly RJ they damn they basically just have the oh my God they took Josh Hart they took Mitchell Robinson Kawai retires with the Celtics that’s disgusting oh we don’t have any picks and we’re not going to do anything because we don’t need to that was supposed to be the year but health is wealth I guess remember I passed up this dude Bryson Tilly and oh he got released I don’t know what team released him but he got released and uh shoot nobody offered him so I’ll offer him n min is up to an 85 and that dude Tilly’s up to an 82 so that was a good signing Cooper is an 88 the Zion a 93 jic hasn’t regressed at all and Kaden Booz is up to an 81 we are third in the conference currently I already went past the trade deadline but obviously I mean we’re not trading anybody damn maybe I should have cuz Nate A Min is more valuable to the team than lamelo ball the hell is going on there but I mean screw it as long as we’re winning I don’t really care since we still yet to have a healthy year with joic I wasn’t looking to doing trades this year anyways it’d be next year Luca wins MVP oh shout out to Paul damn this dude was the first pick who the hell is this anyways Brandon McCoy six player of the year Brit Victor DPI AJ most improved jaw clutch player and the Thunder had the best record I was about to say please don’t make me scroll and see yic is injured again he made the second team so that just shows you know that you know we’re pretty good considering that you know even he had to go down to the second team he had to stoop down we were the third seed only three games behind the Thunder and tied with Lucas’s Trailblazers we are far in away look at the East my goodness this this conference sucks best team is the Wizards though oh and also the Warriors are pretty good they also signed Jaylen green that same off season they would have signed yic but I stole him this would really suck if we lost to this team after I traded the whole team over there they still got e Missy Anthony black jadden quaintance uh do I regret it no hell no we’re playing the Kings again don’t know where sabonis went but they still got Jabari Smith we win that one in five mad players in double figures and nobody above 20 points in this damn near 40 Point win against them and the second round Portland Trailblazers scoots a 92 Shaden a 92 they have Anthony Davis who they traded for oh wow they tra oh wow they actually might have lost this trade no they definitely lost this TR they Tred to cling in for him I mean it might be good now probably not in one year also for us I still have the injury stuff on auto so some stuff maybe happens but Jordan Hawkins a little banged up but aside from that we’re good they win game one by 12 we lose another game scoo had 26 damn we only had three players in double figures joic was two for8 iy was two for8 the whole team was just off okay third game’s a win back at home and we lost another one yeah this is going bad there we go okay Nate me with 23 points got to still be in it come on now another win 23 points from joic Ivy got hurt damn he’s actually going to miss the game too I thought it was it said sprain left knee day today I was like oh maybe he could play but he’s going to miss the game and that kind of sucks we’re doing good though Hawkins is starting despite being injured at the two and it’s going wellish I’m going to jump in I’m going to jump in just make sure we don’t sell this 56 seconds to go Luca getting around lamelo my goodness ad gets down there oh pass into jokic’s back he gets it he’s running up the court pass over to Tilly til’s in the game he’ll take the layup that is off that’s a terrible shot and who is this Wilson Oh my goodness Shaden sharp wide open for three what a terrible sequence and that is perfect clock management by the Blazers there’s 35 seconds to go we do not get the last shot Zion in the game with lamelo it looks like that dude Nate aent and oh my goodness Zion and great clock management by ourselves as Zion gets around the defense for potentially the go-ahead game-winning shot passing to Luca oh they called the second time out I want to see what Hawkins injury was because I saw him grabbing at his face and he has a broken nose also he’s guarding Luca I should have lowkey changed the matchup but whatever I don’t even know if he’s good at defense or not it doesn’t look like it though um like literally like he looks like he’s sliding slowly across the court oh boy the screen Luca’s going to pull up the three and it is off thank God the game was in his hands and His Hands he sold it my goodness winner go home game seven we might have actually won lamelo the first free throw is good we were down 31 and the team is proving why they could potentially be Championship contenders and we might get our legit run against the what call it uh the uh the Thunder hope well I I don’t want to say hopefully they won I would rather avoid them honestly and we have won Nate a had 30 this dude has been a huge Catalyst also Hawkins had 23 on seven for eight in his injury stepup game those are our only two 20 point scorers that hey shout outs to the role players and oh wow the Thunder lost in the first round of the Grizzlies I didn’t even realize johnar had 28 and 19 no beat them in game five and then they lost too so now Jay I’s back and better than ever we are playing the Rockets we traded for embiid I actually checked early this season he’s like a 83 overall now and I mean the team’s still pretty damn good though we win the first game by 30 oh yish has a sore ankle yeah leave the rotation as is you oh it already healed okay well thanks man Jordan Hawkins had that broken nose for a while I guess it can’t get worse though unless they take his nose off or something oh yic with that triple double yeah that injury definitely didn’t slow him down okay we lost this one by seven another win by 14 and is that going to do it yep we are going to the finals a 16-point win who’s going to be joining us the Bulls of course the Bulls are always mad cheesy and too good for no reason look at this team they got nobody above at 85 they got some in the code where the Bulls just have to be mad good like it’s it’s unlike I I think the Bulls makes no sense more than any any team has made no sense they make less sense than any team I’ve seen that consistently is just mad good for no reason I understand like they got some good role players but they shouldn’t be this good every time like this high of a success rate almost every single video anyways it’s a 101 101 game I believe we’re up 2 in the series yeah definitely and uh 117 to go passing to Ivy didn’t get to see him last time around and oh my goodness down to Zion he hits it anyways on a very tight coverage and oh boy Josh gidy gets his dude wide open and Zion all the way again the layup moves that man out the way oh yeah he pointing at him he pointing at the guns Josh giddy fake budget lamelo ball goes to the basket it’s off lamelo ball da in that number four now against Kobe white all the way he’ll dunk it down yo hasn’t even had to do anything in any game we’ve watched Josh giddy now again goes to the basket all the way he gets it easy 30 seconds to go they’re probably going to foul they’re pressing pretty high or not pass up to Z Zion will go oh why did you shoot again he always does that why does he do that this was fun until it wasn’t now it’s looking kind of bad passing to Kobe white guarded by Ivy Kobe goes left to the basket the spin great defense by Ivy what defense have you played yic got hurt again as he will be taking the free throws and that that will do it that’s game Devin Carter stole him from the Kings pass over to Matas Matas for three that’s off and that will be game quickly became a really well-rounded Squad and injuries have H us the past few years but aside from that we are one game away from a championship yic has shin splints for the season let me look how much he’s the same overall did it change anything he’s like down one in a few things he he’ll he’ll be just fine watch me blow the 3oh lead we lost the one game yic was great though and boy oh boy it has finally happened the new Orleans Pelicans are your 203 29 29 NBA champion oh yeah I’m controlling let’s go I’m locked in oh damn uh everyone’s out except for yic bet pump fake yic step back oh yeah can’t guard him hold that hold that what a guy nicoa yic lamelo ball Lonzo ball Zion Williamson Hooper flag Jordan Hawkins so on and so forth you know what’s funny I’m just thinking about now how Lonzo came back to the Pelicans I swear I haven’t thought about that once this entire time well I think I said it when we signed lamelo that we replaced Lonzo spot but didn’t really think about him actually being part of a reunion cuz it just crossed my mind like how many of these players are still here from the beginning and well I think it’s really just like Jordan Hawkins and L and and Zion shout out to Jacob Underwood Coach of the Year hold that Billy Donovan where where’s the final where’s the ceremony at there we go these big bastards holding up the trophy and joic is going to win Finals MVP that trophy looks bigger than our damn equipment manager over there oh they’re showing the one shot I hit thank you very much 27 from joic I stat padded with a triple double and Jordan Hawkins again hey shout out to him the one person we kept and he had some huge games specifically that game right it was uh yeah it was game seven with 27 minutes he had to step up and put up 23 points he actually shot the exact same or almost the exact same as he shot in this game yo K Finals MVP averaging 22 10 and8 with a steal and a block his second Championship 61 from the field 100 from the free throw and 60 from three damn near here’s the playoff stats Zion LED in scoring with 21 points then it was joic at 17 flag at 14 lamelo at 14 AMT at 13 Hawkins with 11 Ivy Damn actually that’s actually surprising that ivy only averages 10 points now but uh yeah I guess the team just got too good Tilly with seven Wagner with six and then Boozer lamelo Goga we got Ben Simmons a ring and Tristan D Sila this took a smooth 5 years I feel like it could have happened last year in year four for sure all the years before we probably a wishful thinking I’m going to call a date on that honestly a quick little one and done it’s been real it’s been fun but ain’t been real fun shout out to Darius Miller shout out to Alexis Ain you can subscribe to the channel if you feel like it I’m trying to gain 4.8 subscribers today and I’ll see you around good

From NOLA with love. Thank you ๐๐พ
15:25 that shouldโve been the first move
Honestly glad to see my cursed team get some shine ๐ญ
I understand it now
Man, variability of build in nba imressive! I really see a much opportunities here, it's really interesting! I'd like to play this game, but unfortunately my pc isn't good enough. I heard about cloud gaming services and among all platforms can find it on Boosteroid. It's interesting to see how nba works on cloud. Maybe you could make a review about that, please?
"We have made a huge blockbuster trade for Nick Richards" ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Day 5 of asking clique for a clique productions NBA career simulation with 99 potential
Are pels fans real that would be miserable for a fan base ๐ everyear they all hurt bro
GOD LOVES ALL IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME AMEN
clippers hands down is the most cursed team of all time
not me thinking im just a delusional bulls fan for seeing joakim noah at the beginning
Do a 2018 lakers with their current ratings
I was dropping 60 with Tony Douglas on 2k11 when you reminded me to like
You and kenny did the same trades lmao
@20:00 Cooper bops homeboy on the head!
Thank you for this
I was driving through upstate New York when Clique asked me to subscribe
WHO went up to a 91?
"Herbert Jones sawa little bit of a drop, he's also 26 years old". Yooo, cats act like if you're not 18 to 21, you're fucking ancient.
Pelicans training staff should be investigated. Not only has the current starters been injured sm but even back when they had AD and Cousins injuries held that team down.
NGL fam you is cooking with these realistic trades just from watching the first 4 mins I like Bi to pistons trade makes hell of sense gives Cade his costar and allows the pels to get younger
Bro, what did you do?! First trade of the vid is for Ivey and now he's got a broken leg! Pelicans are mad cursed! ๐
โThis is also called MyNba itโs not TheirNba, I donโt give a damnโ ๐๐๐
I wish this happen in real life for the pels
3:30 I met Cole Anthony
