It’s It’s your guys, your Pelicans playing. It’s me and my dog Justin. We holding it down right now. Uh, shout out to everybody. Shout out to the sponsors, man. You know, we ain’t want our sponsors to have a late pod. Um, and the Pelons get beat by 40. So, we thought we’d start the show a little bit earlier. They’re like, Lita, they’re only down 15 right now. Yeah, for sure. They’re only LA, is there any way you can give us the FanDuel live line? There’s a little plug right there. L, can we get the FanDuel live line with the Pelicans? Uh, with Pelicans Lakers. Uh, so Leo, yeah, look, um, I I didn’t want to stay I didn’t want to make you stay up till 11:30 and then and then start the podcast because this is going to be another loss. They’re going to be three and 18. Um, and Leo, they don’t have a first round pick. And I know we keep talking about this and now like at first I was like, okay, they got to do something. Now I’m just starting to get pissed off because at the end of the day, if you were 318, 3 and 18, and you know, your guys were out there and like you were bat like no one ever plays for this team. Like, and Zion Williamson again is out on a backto-back. I know there’s like a twoe designation um in which that he has to clear before he can start playing back to backs but even when he is playing he’s not playing very well and that just show like I don’t know man I just want to hear your thoughts on like the current state of this franchise because you know at least if you lose all these games like all right man like yeah there’s a great there’s a great you know draft coming up maybe we can go get booze or the guy from BYU or whatever you don’t have that and that I think leads what’s really Like it’s depressing. That That’s where That’s where I’m at with it right now, man. Look, I don’t I don’t want to be right here, but I mean, I I I I told you earlier they was like 0 and5 on four on five. And I And I I was like, man, this [ __ ] is over. You said it. I I didn’t believe you. I really I really didn’t believe you. You said when we were 0 and6 we had the conversation looking back at it dog we we were talking about this bro like they didn’t make a move at 0 and6 like they should have made the move on Willie off Willie Green and look I’m not saying let me ask you this and I’m interested what the chat says make sure you smash like button appreciate everyone that’s in the in the room right now if James Burggo was the head coach of this team day one and he had an offseason whatever it may be whether you’re a fan of James Rego or not just Ask yourself this question. Would they be three and 18? Would they be three and 18? I don’t know if they’d be three and 18. Mhm. But I don’t think they’d be a winning team. They would have a winning record at this at this juncture, would you say? How how many wins would you if they had how many wins? They played 20 games or 21 tonight. How many wins would you put them at? you know, give or take, you know, just just give me a ballpark. Okay. So, 11. So, you say they’d be You say they but it is technically winning. So, you say they’d be nine. Well, yeah. Let’s say Okay. So, let’s say let’s say nine. Okay. Nine. Say nine. So, they’re But nine and 11, right? And Yeah. That would put them on the ninth seed. What in the ninth? Yeah. Eight night. Yeah. Right. You’re the 89 seed. So you’re telling me you’re in the playin. You’re 911. You’re battling whatever. Maybe we can make a move. Maybe we can’t. We’re we’re getting, you know, 20 games in. You have 62 to go. So you say you put them in the nine seat. The fact that they didn’t make the move in the off season is what’s wrong with this franchise. The fact Leo, you know, I don’t even want to talk about the game. the fact that Zion Williamson is skipping out. Not skipping out. They’re not making him go to postgame pressers again. And I’ve seen this. I I’ve seen this. I’ve seen this with Brandon Ingram. Seen with Brandon Ingram. And now they’re doing it with Zion Williamson. It is embarrassing. Embarrassing that this guy Zion Williamson is making $39 million and this team won’t make it a thing for him to go to the postgame podium or locker room access. You know, that makes no sense. You’re sending out Jeremiah Fears and Derek Queen and Sadique Bay and all these other guy and Josie Alvarado and Trey Murphy. No, you send out the face of the franchise. I was like, let me go look at the Kings. Who the Kings sent out? Demar D Rozan. You know who’s OKC sent out? You you know SGA every single night. Who the Clippers send out? Harden PG. Sorry, not PG. Kawawaii. Why don’t the Pelicans ever make their highest paid players available in press in postgame pressers? I’m I’m not asking them to even win games. We can’t even get them in postgame pressures. Leo, you know, um it’s unfortunate that fans don’t have a name of who’s responsible for that. So, they could, you know, they could they could blast that like they would a Willie Green. Um another thing I say with that too, Leo, they they didn’t ask Willie Green to stop announcing his name. They just made the decision to not announce his name. Like event like this isn’t this isn’t a high school basketball team. This is an NBA franchise worth over two, you know, $2 billion, whatever it is. And we can’t hear from our highest paid players. I looked at the game last night. Zion Williamson was the leading scoreer of the game. He He can’t be made available for postgame availability. We That’s an organizational That’s that’s that’s organizational. Um, I think my name is, you can’t see it on the screen right now, but my name is Rebuild. And I’m not I’m not just talking from a player standpoint. I think the entire like the whole thing needs to be destroyed and rebuild. Um, it’s not going to happen. But listen, it’s about maybe three players on this team I I I want back. Let’s let Let me Let’s start here. You asked me about Bergo, what would Berago do? Even Even if I agreed that he should be the coach, which I still do have questionable things about his rotations thus far. Um, especially with the Queen experiment last game was like 16 minutes or something like that. Um, even if you were to give James the the head coaching position, like this still not a James Burggo team. You still need actual talent on this team. It’s a bunch of a bunch of G-League players on this team, Justin. You got you got a lot of You got a lot of G-Leaguers on this team. A lot of a lot of team a lot of players on this team like other organizations are not coveting. Yeah. I mean, like Chaz says all the time, you have to acquire talent. You have to acquire talent. Well, you’re you’re about to be three and 18. Like I I like I you can’t save the season. That’s where I’m at. Like, how? That’s over, bro. It’s legitimately over and we’re about to get into December. Like, think about that. I mean, two years in a row, right? Well, by January, your season’s over. Like, you It’s kind of the same [ __ ] You know, people are missing games. Zion still can’t play back tobacks. Like, he’s still in a minutes restriction. Like, what do Like, when you talk it out and say it out loud, it’s insane. It’s insane. It’s like we’re doing this again. The fact that we’re in year seven and Zion Williamson still can’t play it back to back. He still can’t take care of his body. Like, and like he’s regressed. He’s regressed. It’s okay to say that. It’s okay to have that reality. Zion Williamson hasn’t been very good this year. I think he’s averaging his lowest rim percentage of his career or whatever it may be. Look, you can blame spacing, you blame this, you can blame that. He doesn’t get better at his overall game. We talked about this again, Leo. What has he gotten better at? You sent me that text today from Mac. What has he gotten better at? What does he work on? He’s played 10 games this year. He’s played half the games again. He’s played 50% of the games this year. It’s just time. Like, you know, it’s time. It’s time to just move on. Like, and like that begs my next question. If you move on from Zion, who else are you moving on? Leo, you said you said you’d keep three players. So, you’re saying Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, um obviously Jose, Sadique Bay, Jordan Pool. No, I’m not I’m not saying any of those names you name. I listen as uh coveted the name is. Okay, let me just start here. This is not an indictment on Trey Murphy’s game per se. It’s an indictment on the state of the franchise. I had this conversation with Ivory the other day. You not be doing you would not be doing your your your job as a front office if you not listening. Not saying you gotta participate, but listen to trades. Like what are the offers? So for me, it’s like what are you offering me for a Trey? Especially considering like this team is not going to be if Listen, this team ain’t gonna be good again next year. Yeah. And once again, Leo, I could be okay with it if it was like, “All right, we’re going to have a top five pick this year. Top three pick. Let’s call him. We know that.” you’re gonna have to get back in the first round. Who is your Who’s your biggest asset and which a team will overpay for? Not overpay for, but will compensate you? I mean, the the the guy you can’t get him to stay on the floor, the the one guy. Um cuz you said he played 10 games. Um it would be him. Uh it it then next in line would be Trey. Um hey Justin, you remember this conversation we had? Who’s a better player between Fierce I mean between Reeves and Herb Jones? Boy, that’s a narcotic. Boy, that that’s Yeah, that is not great. It’s not looking good for us. Hey man, listen. You know, the Pelicans is is fools fools go. As much as I love her, man. Herb a second round pick. I text you the other day. I’m looking at what’s my guy name for Miami? Highmith. Yeah. If you watch the film, if you close your eyes, you can’t tell me that’s not Herb Jones. And he’s shooting threes and he attacking the rim. Like he’s you find a lot of value in God. I agree. I agree, Hera. He that’s the thing that’s going to keep him away from this [ __ ] cuz he don’t give a [ __ ] He not listen to nobody because he better than all these losers. And when I say losers, I’m not talking about necessarily players. I’m just like this loser ass organization. Like he’s he’s better than what he was drafted into. Justin, there’s no path forward to succeed, brother. And I and I and I’m I’m being I’m not being uh that’s that’s my worry right there. Like there’s no hope. I have no hope. For the first time doing this podcast, I don’t have any hope. You’ve been sounding like this for a couple days, bro. Yeah, I’m pretty like down. Like I’m pretty down about it. I mean, Pelican can like like the reason why I’m harsh on him is because like I I want them to be better. They can be a lot better in so many different aspects. No, they can’t. Like I mean like just No, they can’t. They can’t. They don’t want to be better. They want to make money. They don’t want to be better. Yeah. If you want to be better, why you not going to luxury tax? Not specifically this year because there’s no reason to because your team sucks. But I’m saying, you know, like why? If you want it to be better, why are you not doing things that the other own? And and this honestly is not one 100% on on Gail. This is uh this organization sucks. I I don’t even I don’t even know, you know, like I don’t even know how I I can’t really give James a fair assessment of even coaching, honestly, cuz I don’t know what he would implement. Bro, tonight you had [ __ ] Derek Queen out there with Eve Mei and did no disrespect because Bryce McGaws is who Bryce McGawins and it’s like nobody is respecting anybody on the floor other than Sadique Bay as far as I’ll tell you what I’ll tell you what I we’re harsh on the team but I I I respect the [ __ ] out of some of these guys. And you just mentioned one. Sadique Bay, you want talk about professional, man. That dude comes, he had a [ __ ] up ankle, man. Missed one game. Same with Eve. Had a [ __ ] up ankle. Missed one game. Like those dudes want to play. Like Sadique missed a year of torn ACL. He wants to play, man. He He’s got 27 minutes tonight, 20 points, eight of 12 from the field, three or four from deep. Like like you you want to talk about like Leo value like I would look at building Sadi Bay as much as possible and flipping him as soon as possible and trying to get as much assets as possible because he he he’s a he’s a good piece on a winning on on a championship level team. He’s a great Sadique don’t deserve to be here. Sad I I said and that’s that’s a compliment. No, like real [ __ ] I said that I said that prior to him being traded here, man. I felt like, you know, everybody looked at him as a throwing in that Jordan Pool trade, but like man, Sadique been a bucket. You know, a dude who scored 50 points in the NBA. Sadique was a bucket at Villanova. Was a bucket at Detroit. You know what I’m saying? He he you talk about a path forward. Gotta get rid of Sadique Bay, bro. You got to get rid of Sadi Bay. As crazy as it sounds, right? You got to get rid of him. And this this is this is a compliment Sadique Bay like absolutely shout to Sadique. He is shout out to Sadique like that dude hooper he don’t give like he’s a show up every single night if I’m starting if I’m not starting whatever it may be like he’s ready to play. Um so like I mean [ __ ] Leo he’s real quick. Bryce McGowan’s hooping Justin I shout Bryce McGowan. Um, I mean, [ __ ] Sadique’s averaging on the season, he’s averaging 36% from deep, 13 a night, six rebounds, two two and a half assists, 28 minutes. And this this is where I’m at with it. These names right here. Yeah, you have to you you talk because specifically you asked me about a path. I love all love all three of those guys. I wouldn’t I don’t want to trade them, but you it’s it’s time. Make no sense. Makes no sense to keep them. Makes no sense to keep them. You know, I keep saying this like, okay, keep if you want to get back in the first round, like your pick is whatever. It’s gone. Okay. Are you can try to win games, fine, but I think you have to start building for the future. Does that mean trading Trey at the trade deadline? No, I don’t think you have to trade him at the trade deadline. I do think you have to probably get rid of trade this off seasonason. See see where teams are in the draft as Chad said before. I think we talked about this. Um but that has to be a serious conversation. Who would you leo who would you trade at the deadline? Like Sadique Bay would be one for me. Herb Jones would be one for me. Um yeah, all Zion as soon as possible. you’ve got it now. Like go ahead. Like like I look I tried I was right. Like I was ready for Zion to take over. This is going to be his team. All this other [ __ ] And like he’s just done the same thing. He’s the same thing. I’ll do Jose man. Jose don’t deserve Jose. Yeah. And that’s funny. I love like dude another guy shows up every single night. Jose Alvarado team wants the deadline. Yep. You gotta go. Man, listen. Whorse put a he had an article last week about the Pelicans being sellers. I mean buyers in a sellers market. What are you buying? Buying for what? Like you Yeah, cuz like that’s over now. Like if you were to buy at 3 and 18. I’m not buying. You know that smells like [ __ ] I’m not buying that [ __ ] I’m not buying that. You can’t sell me that. Like, for what? Okay. Okay. Okay. So, they go to They go to be buyers and they finish the season with 20 wins. Great. Great. You did it. It’s like, what would you I just like I don’t see a path here, Alita, where where Dumar doesn’t just clean up like And like once again, there’s some good people in that building. I just how’s like I don’t see it. I I don’t I don’t know how he [ __ ] up too because No, he [ __ ] up. No, he [ __ ] up. Look, I’m gonna say this. Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. The three rookies are going to be good. The three rookies are going to be good. The hooks one wasn’t his fault. That That’s I don’t know why he specifically made that trade at that time. I don’t know why he made it that trade at that time. But who’s the, you know what I’m saying? Like, who’s to say Hallebertton was gonna tear his Achilles? But the other one, especially when you read the story about, you know, Bryce calling calling back, like calling them back to be like, “Yo, you sure? Like, is this are you this what you want to do?” And do you think Joe really believed in Zion? Do you think he really believed in Zion? Everybody believed in Zion. Everybody. Everybody got food. Not me though. Not me. I’ve been off that narcotic. Yeah. I think it’s just time. I mean, it is what it is. It’s so funny how all the Brandon Ingram stands like you wanted to trade Brandon. You chose Zion over Brandon. It’s like Brandon’s got the same stats as he always does. He took 33 shots last night, scored 21. Like Brandon’s a good player. I like Brandon, but the Pelicans would be just as bad if they shipped Zion and Brandon was the guy. Like, it is what it is. Like, Brandon was a good player, but this team around him just sucks. Neither one. Neither. They don’t have any talent. Neither one are the best player on a winning team. No, like Brandon’s like succeeding because he’s around a good team. The Raptors are a good team right now. Like, hey, you know what? I’m not shout to Slim. I’m not even say that cuz Slim is on a winning team. funny. He is I like Brandon Ingram. Like that’s the funny part about it. I just didn’t like the way it ended out here. Like once again though, it’s the franchise, you know, like they just let they hold nobody accountable. Like anybody can just do whatever. Like the the fact that I’m I’m this mad about because I saw it with Brandon. The fact that Zion Williamson can’t do postgame pressers. The fact that you couldn’t announce Willie Green as the head coach was because you were scared that he was going to get booed. Like, it’s just such loser [ __ ] that like I cannot believe this exists for an NBA team. It doesn’t make any sense when you really look at it. Um Hey, hey, um paper boy. It’s it’s not it’s not hate on a pick because I I love Derek Queen. I I I just Yeah. But I mean, we got to acknowledge the team. Your team your team is March 18th, bro. They’re March 18th. They they they don’t have a a a way to there’s not a pick that you can get to kind of like acquies you back into a a developmental position. Like you just kind of, you know what I’m saying? Like I don’t know. Every I I like Queen, man. I do. Um I think he’s gonna be special. He’s struggling right now. I was going through a little bit of a of a wall and people are talking about his his energy level and stuff like that. Like that’s who he is. That’s how he plays. It is what it is. I think he’s very talented. Um there’s something there. I like Fears. I know Fears has has to get a little bit under control, but [ __ ] it, man. Like you’re three and 18. Hey man, go do what? Go do you got to shoot three. Shoot as many threes as you want. You got to get to the cup. Go ahead. I these are developmental reps for me now. Like Fear is going to be your starting point guard for the next 60 games. You don’t think he’s going to get a lot better? Like I like once again you’re three and 17 Leo and you text me last night like man like what happened? I was like I mean they just went away from Queen in the fourth quarter and then we’re talking about matchups and stuff like that. I get it. Um but he can’t play no 16 minutes. No way. No way. But it’s not fair. You know, coach Steph’s trying to win so they try to make a move. Like it’s just a [ __ ] up situation, dude. Hey, let me ask you this situation. This is a good question. Shout out to uh well it’s not really a question statement. Shout out to uh my name is my name. He says I don’t think knows how to use queen. Now let me ask you this. Do you think that they can I know I know what basketball mind says that they can play together because I understand it when you think about queen skill set’s athleticism how it can be used. It’s kind of like a symbiot of each other. But you see Zion kind of excel without Queen. You see queen kind of excelled without. So like realistically do you think that they can play together? The Z hasn’t developed a 15-footer seven years, but do you think that Derek Queen’s skill set will allow him to still be uh underdeveloped and be effective? Can you ask that again? Because I I just thought of a question I wanted to ask you, but go ahead. Ask your question. Can Derek Queen’s greatness overcome Zion’s offensive? Yeah. Limits of his limitness limit limited offensive ability. Yeah, I think so. I think Queen um funny part is I think Queen’s like Queen can hit a 15-footer. So they can go high low. The F the problem with them two on the court Leo together is that they’re both not good defenders. So then Queen gets exposed. Like Zion is a horrific defender. And we we show the block shots. Like I text you what two clips today, Leo, of his effort defensively last night. Getting back screen by Pod Zensky. Uh I think Jimmy Butler shoots a late shot clock three, run, he fake hustles, tries to steal it, then doesn’t get back in the play. Butler shoots the three, goes literally right back to Jimmy Butler because Zion’s leaking out. And then they get another shot and the rebound, another offensive rebound, and Zion’s still around the three-point line. like he doesn’t impact winning and I I’ve I’ve just been just call it keep it a buck leader like biggest one of the biggest disappointments in Pelicans history is Zion he hasn’t done anything he hasn’t played in a playoff game I like sick and tired of like doing the pass thing like he has done nothing I mean people give Zion a limited passes people people are still like you really still kind of can’t out I I’ll I gave him pass. I gave him pass for six years. It’s [ __ ] It’s my fault. It’s our fault cuz I know the franchise ain’t going to hold him accountable because he can do whatever the [ __ ] he wants. But we weren’t at like we should have we should have pushed the envelope more. He had a a lot of envelopes to push at the time. There’s a lot of [ __ ] happening with Yeah. Griff and Willie and Brandon and Zion. It’s like you you would think that his cuz you know what? No, cuz you know what? [ __ ] that. No, cuz I do say this. I do say this. Everybody was like, “Man, with Zion, with Brandon out the way, can Zion blah blah blah, right?” And I always say this, if you the dude, don’t matter who that, it don’t matter who not that, it don’t matter who’s playing you, it doesn’t matter who’s on the floor with you. like you raised the ceiling to everybody. If you the dude, that’s what you do. So I I saw we saw it early on. No, we didn’t. He had a stretch. You talking you Exactly. You talking about a number of games. I’m talking about a season of season. You talking [ __ ] You talking about Yeah. No, no, we didn’t. I know. I gave him so many passes. Um, and I’ve just realized I think Leo this weekend like man like you want to talk about just being disappointed like that shit’s disappointing, bro. We He should have been so much better. His fan base was so jacked up about it. And literally like bro like if you think about it a week in two weeks in he shows up overweight to summer league plays a game instantly gets shut down for the summer gets injured whatever comes into training camp meniscus supposed to come back in like December doesn’t come back till like end of January early February like all the signs were there first game back four for four for be against the Spurs going crazy but we’re on a men’s restriction we’re doing burst men’s restriction burst men’s restrict And that continued for seven years, Leo. I mean, do you remember the time when he just left and left for Portland? I think it was during co and the and the team made it seem like they sent him in. Yeah. Like like we thought that was normal. Like, hey, I was going to Portland out the Nike thing or whatever. Then he mysteriously left during the bubble. He played like, you know, when Griffin promised that he’d be ready for opening night, then he missed the entire season. Like, this [ __ ] is this [ __ ] is a joke, man. Hey, like, think about that, bro. He hasn’t played a playoff game. He goes off for 40 against the Lakers, gets injured. Yeah, I remember this. Me, Mo, he did give him the keys, man. You ain’t Jo you ain’t no, bro. Oh, don’t bring that up. Jo ain’t over though, bro. I disagree with this, man. Vi was part of the problem. He was part of the problem, bro. We We got We We could We could We got to stop We got to stop doing that. He was part of the problem, bro. He’s a perimeter player who made 86 threes in the season. Like, he was very reluctant to take them. And if you’re on a perimeter, like obviously you see BI now, right? He’s taking he’s taking more threes which gives him more variety in in more variety on offense but he was definitely part of the problem. He wasn’t the problem but he was part of the problem. It’s so funny. And look uh yeah I like a bunch of people tweeted at me like Brand Ingram’s game winner tonight but of course the last couple nights they haven’t said anything about it considering he went four of 11 for 14 points in 32 minutes tonight. But once again I like Brandon Ingram. Um it’s just some of his stands are just like a little delusional. And to your point, Leo, he actually um he averaged, I guess, so he only played 18 games last year, Brandon did for the Pelicans, but he’s averaging four and a half three-point attempts this year. Um shooting 30.8% from deep. Uh but like whether the conversation is just weird, uh Leo, because a lot of people are like, you should just shipped off Zion and kept Brandon here. It’s like we’ve been the same problem. we’d still be in the same problem. The fact that Zion and Brandon couldn’t work out. You want to talk about investing, Leo, right? Like you said, like we’re one of the two teams that never been the luxury tax. Yeah, I know we’re just rambling on right now, so this show is just like completely off the rails. So, appreciate y’all. Smash the like button. Um, hit the bell notification. Like, this is just me and Leo. Like, we’re just talking now. Um, but the um I kind of lost I’m not going to lie. I lost my train of thought. What were you talking about? Oh, 49 season when you said the luxury tax, right? Do you think Gail should have gone into the luxury tax during that off season? Let me say this. I’m never pro-rich person. I think that she should always gone to a luxury tax. Right. But the question was No, the question was I remember we had this conversation a couple years ago where people were like, “Well, why would you invest?” because I think that’s when they just flopped the next year, right? And they’re like, well, why would you invest in this team, the luxury tax, but if they would have gone in the mindset, all right, 49 wins, took the Suns of Six, you got Brandon Ingram, Zion’s coming back. Like, do you think that was the time right there where they should have gone the luxury tax? Yes, I do. You thought that was did you think that was a team that was worth betting on, if that makes sense? No. I mean, put it like this. Like, were they going to win a championship? No. No. But you get you get steps, right? Like you get You think you think they could have won a series, playoff series, depending on who’s on that team. Like if you ask them if they win the luxury tax, like depending on what they would have gotten in the, you know, it’s likely if they would have did it, they may have tra had to trade a trade very early on. You know what I’m saying? I don’t I don’t know. But I’mma ask you this. This is what I tell my because my homeboy, he we talk about the team all the time and he’s always telling me have patience with Zion. And much like you, I’m like, “Bro, I gave I gave him seven years. Like what other patience like would I need?” And the same thing like with, you know, like again, this is not an indictment on trade per se, but it’s like if I would have traded him after his rookie season or if I trade him now, I’m in the same situation. I didn’t lose or gain anything. I’m still in hell whether Zion is on the team next if he’s playing or not playing. Like he hasn’t played in the playoffs and he’s we we we still ask with him. We not a good team with him. So like when you close your eyes at night and you go to sleep like what are you afraid of? You already asked. you are at the bottom of the barrel. So, so to say this player can’t be traded, that player can’t be traded. Like, yeah. No, no. So, the move the big move that offseason lead out after the 49 win season was Dejante Murray. Too late. They made that move too late. They would have made that move three years ahead of the time and then they still got the wrong guard. Yeah, man. That’s tough. Um, happy astronomical model. I feel bad for those kids. Queen, fears, and pe are good, but this franchise has such bad rep. Who’s going to want to play here? They’ll help them be successful. Um, I’m glad you said this because I think it’s important, Leo, we talk about this as well. And this goes back to Jordan Hawkins, Kyra Lewis, Muel Alexander Walker, Jackson Hayes, Zion Williamson, Tyson Daniels. Um, they were drafted, right? Um, some are out of the league now. Some are on teams and succeeding. Kale Alexander Walker and obviously Tyson Daniels coming off defensive player of the year award. Um, it begs the question, Leo, like you know, you think do you if you think you have something special with Fierce Queen and Peavey, you don’t want them to get used to this like losing culture, right? Like imagine being a rookie like Derek Queen, right? Who’s one of the best high school basketball teams, plays plays at Maryland, Jeremiah Fierce, SEC, Oklahoma, I think state championship, couple state championships in high school, right? Those guys are winners. And then you go to this and you’re three and 18 in the blink of an blink of an eye. Like how does that [ __ ] with you like mentally? I mean, you you develop bad habits because you you around people who taking shortcuts and like it’s not a lot of um Sadique Bays on the roster. Not a guy not a lot of guys who giving it 100% regardless of time score situation. And as a young person, that’s probably the worst thing you can do or get information from is from somebody like as I am. No disrespect, but like like that like I like like him being your vet is crazy. You know what I’m saying? Like him him mentoring you is crazy. Which made me think be thankful that there is DeAndre Jordan on the team. like fake and Cavan Looney because I’ll tell you what like I you know Jeremiah Fear shares like poke pictures of him and and um DeAndre Jordan’s same Derek Queen like he’s actually been a savior because to your point Leo like without them like without Looney and without um DeAndre Jordan your leaders Zion Williamson Jordan P and listen if Deontay Murray was healthy he’d be a great vet for uh Fierce. He’d be a great vet because you’re looking at somebody who came in the NBA out of high school who who played for Pop, played with Tony Parker, played with one of the greatest players of all time in in Tim Duncan, right? Like you you got a guy who has a wealth of knowledge. The only unfortunate the unfortunate situation is his Achilles. I don’t know. That’s another unresolved situation to me. Like I don’t know the path with him moving forward. Like how do you how do you implement him? Cuz you Yeah. Deadline’s February, right? You need him come back as soon as possible, see that he’s healthy, and then uh try to ship him. You think you think Dejante Murray would be okay coming off the bench? I don’t think he will. I think they move Fierce back to uh back to the bench, which is fair. I mean, it’s so funny, Leo. Like, I also feel bad for Fears because, bro, like when he got drafted, like I’m sure he, you know, Fierce is a hooper. Like, he’s like, “No, I’m going be the starting point guard day one.” Like, I’m sure that was his thought, but I didn’t actually think he’d be the starting point guard of this team. I mean, how many games has he started at point guard? Like, seriously, I I think he’s up to like 12. No, probably more than that, huh? Let’s see. Fierce has started 18 games at point guard. 18 games. I didn’t think he’d play 18 games total this year. We’re fully healthy. We’re in December and he has started 18 games. And guess and like he’s [ __ ] handled it like a pro. Like I I know you have like your your thoughts on fears. Some people get frustrated his shot, you know, shot selection, uh, his speed, whatever it may be. But, I mean, the 19-year-old’s putting up 15.2 points per game, uh, three and a half rebounds, two, uh, two and a half assists, and he’s shooting 36% from deep, man. [ __ ] that. Got the most heart on the team. Got it with Jimmy Butler last night. He got a hard foul on Luka tonight. It wasn’t even a hard foul to me. Like, it was a basketball play. Luka overreacted, but like Fierce ain’t got no backdown. He not tripping. I’m not I don’t give a [ __ ] what the score is. I don’t care who you are. I think you need more of that. Hey bro, it was a play tonight and we we gave DeAndre Jordan love. It was a play tonight with Luka made a three and he talked to the Pel’s bench and DeAndre Jordan I don’t know if he gave him a high five but he kind of like he had a conversation with him. [ __ ] him. You know what I’m saying? Like it’s it’s people on the sideline laughing and [ __ ] like that. Like [ __ ] that. You know what I’m saying? Your guys out there busting their ass. They playing cuz they under man. They undersized. They underskilled. You know what I’m saying? And it’s like, what was that? We laughing and joking on the sidelines and [ __ ] It was tonight. Oh, I gotta get that. It was in the first either first or second quarter. Yeah. Like Trey, like um Trey says uh glad fears don’t back down. Tired of this goofy friendly [ __ ] Like I’m with you. I’m with you, dog. You too. And like that’s like bro with Queen and Fear like I think Queen got four fouls and Hayes was talking [ __ ] and like Queen was like talking [ __ ] like and just standing in the corner like he didn’t go sit down. Um they got some and PB he’s a dog too. They got some They got some [ __ ] with them that like um Has he high five him? He he he made a three in the corner. He kind of like DeAndre it was DeAndre Trey and they they they high five. I’m not gonna say they, but Luca got a high five from somebody. I I to look at it. Yeah. I I didn’t I didn’t like that at all. But no, I like I like that Queen Fears have uh [ __ ] No, [ __ ] that, Justin. No, cuz you know when this team you you know you you know when this team is [ __ ] when Dyson Dames is pointing [ __ ] guns at you and like come on man him air aired out the whole bench. Come on man. Like man somebody somebody react bro like I know we I know it’s just ball. I know it’s just a game. I know it’s just hoop man. Where you [ __ ] pride at bro? Where your pride at? Damn. Where your pride at, man? I I Jose got a little chip on his shoulder, too. He do. He do. I ain’t like the fact that Luca Luca went he put his he put his forehead on on on Fear’s head forehead and like, you know, guys ran over there. I ain’t really like the I ain’t really like the trot. It It was a trot. You know what I’m saying? Like that’s my young guy. I need PB was there. Pe was right there. You know what I’m saying? But yeah, [ __ ] all this nice [ __ ] man. You You know what? You You want to change the culture of this [ __ ] Get some [ __ ] in here. Get some [ __ ] who not I feel But I feel like Fears and Queen have that. And I think too they do, but they 19, 21, and 22. Who that ball? Like Yeah. Like like the how many like [ __ ] there’s probably like four or five fights by scuffles. Like there’s one fight with Eve, but really like it’s always Queen and Fears who are like in the mix every game. Yeah. Um Damn, bro. Hey, bro. Listen, we did a show this summer and we talked about what they get. Uh, I think ESPN said 32 and a half. You’re definitely not reaching that. No, man. Um, I was really excited to start the season, too. Me too, man. Like, I didn’t see three and 18. Unlike Zion, Queen will evolve and grow. Yeah. I mean, let me real quick. I about to say, listen, listen, chat, if y’all got any ideas on a path moving forward, maybe some we ain’t cover like, man, let us know. You know what I’m saying? We’re just Yeah, y’all run the show. Uh, appreciate everybody here. Super chats. 504 boy 504. What else could she do? Lazy [ __ ] What else could she do? Joe Nelly hot 2090 super chat. Appreciate you. $10. It starts at the top because you see every year players who lead the team get better or put in proper roles to maximize their talent. Yep. Yep. I uh I agree. I like Bryce McGall just go ahead. I’ve seen way I mean shout out to Bryce McGowan. I’ve seen him start too many games apart. Hey, shout out to Bryce. of like happy. He’s hooping. He’s playing like living out his dream. [ __ ] incredible. Probably works his ass off. Um I didn’t think I didn’t think 21 games in he’d be starting for the Pelicans. Uh but it’s good. Like I like his energy. He plays hard, but um the fact that he’s starting games in December or late November is troublesome for sure. Shout out. Was that mean? You think I was being No, who cares though? Like, you know what I’m saying? Like, you got you got you got a three and 18 team. Who cares if you’re being mean? Somebody need to be mean. And this ain’t got nothing to do with Bryce, man. Cuz I don’t expect Bryce to change the world. But $200 million over there on the bench, man. DQ three of 11 from the field tonight. 13Q having a rough he having a rough he having a rough stretch of games. He has not looked good at all. Um yeah, he does not look good. Um but ups and downs are rookies going to happen. Micah Peavey 26 minutes, 510 from the field, 35 from deep. I believe you like Micah. You’re a Micah fan. I do. Hard. Everything he does translates. No wasted motion. No wasted shots. No wasted movement. M pe go play defense. He go rebound and he going to run. Sorry. Petition to get rid of Gail. Saints fans will help out. Can you? That’s true. Trey, you did get rid of Trey Reeves. Nola Golf. Can you get first for her Bay Pool? Yeah. I need more than one. Yeah. Yeah. A couple. Tell you Trey end up in Oklahoma City. I mean, they have like three top 15 picks. I see that. I I mean, it is who it is. He deserve He deserves Yeah. Well, he he’s your leading scoreer tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Sadique, but yeah. GSP Mitch, he is who is McGawans. He is your leading scoreer tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bless you. Somebody Somebody need a blessing, dog. He’s Hey, man. All in all, go ahead. My bad. My brother text me last night. He was like, “Who the [ __ ] is number 11?” I mean, he watches every game. He’s like, “Who the [ __ ] is number 11?” It’s my guy Bryce Mc. All in all, without Zion, Trey, Herb Jones, Dejonte Murray, OJ pool, they put up 111 points so far. Bro, look, man. Those guys play hard. Like all five. Like, damn. Me was bad tonight. Yeah. I mean, I I l I don’t know what to talk about, bro. Like, we’re 46 minutes in 107. You know, we used to look forward to this [ __ ] Now it’s like depressing, bro. I Darius, I don’t know where Jordan Pool is. He got cleared like a week ago. Um I I’d hoped to see him on the home stand. I thought he would travel since he was traveling with the team. I thought he was going to play yesterday. Yeah. Like why why then why travel? Um I don’t know. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know. Trump is wrong, bro. Would happy. I’m I’m not a doctor. I don’t know. What do you want me to say? You want to talk about injury management like to be there while they get the I don’t know why DeShante’s popping his Achilles, you know. I I don’t know why Herb Jones has a groin. Um Z Williamson can’t play. I don’t know. What would you like to talk? Like do you think that they’re sitting out on purpose? Do you think the medical team’s not rehabbing them properly? Like I I don’t like happy astronomical. I I I I can say that some players don’t necessarily go to their treatments. So, you do with that information what you will. Yeah. And then the medical team gets blamed when it’s really the player. But if you have an appointment at a certain time, you can’t walk in a minute before practice and think you’re going to like it just don’t work that way. It doesn’t work that way. Like you got to show up 30. Yeah. Uh, Hafa. Um, Trey. Okay. Wow. Trey Murphy is trash. We should take any first round draft pick for him. Trey air ball. But damn. Yeah. Damn. Hafa. I feel ha upset, man. Upset with Hey, but you know what? I mean, you know what? Like you you he reserved that right though. I mean, again, it’s $200 million sitting on the bench. Yeah. I mean, [ __ ] Murphy’s averaging 19 and a half points per game, 6.2 rebounds. Well, Steve, shout out to Jeffrey. Steve Kerr talked about this the other day with the soft tissue angels. Like, it’s the game is so fast. It’s so much um Oh, we Oh, you if if we going off what the Jonte Murray said, bro. Happy. Wait. Oh, astronaut. See, Leo, this is Don’t get in trouble. Don’t get in trouble. doesn’t get in trouble. But like this is you know what there’s no point. There’s just no point. Let me say this. Look, you want to believe John Murray, believe John Murray. That’s all I’ll say. Yeah, cuz again, he said that he ain’t have what he said. He said he ain’t have a table. He didn’t have table time, you know. Yeah. Don’t don’t forget about his Katrina comments, which were, you know, he was three years old watch watching CNN and understanding what was going on. I’m G just say that that wasn’t an accurate uh depiction of that. Um and a conversation was had. Anyways, Jay Burke 4027, great question. I’m so glad you brought this up. I’m so glad you brought this up. If you give me three first and a young player for Trey, yes, I’m taking the deal. I love Trey. I’m taking like Yes, absolutely. Do you Leo do you like I’m not great at trade asset management but like do you think that you can get that for Trey? Yeah, Dustin Bank got like 10 of them. Yeah, for sure. I could get I could get three like OKC. Who’s the Who’s the If I’m just saying, you know, I mean, OKC is way smarter than us, but just say you had an OKC uh lineup for Trey or lined up for Trey and you got three first round picks, whatever. Who’s the one player you’d want on OKC for Trey Murphy? They wouldn’t trade trade him to me. But Jaylen Williams, I think because I’m saying if we being realistic, Shay is not in the question, right? So, no, Shay’s not in the question. Who is the one player? Let me look at OKC rosters. Chat, whatever. I’m interested to hear y’all’s thought. Who’s the one player from OKC trade for Trey and you get the picks? Can I get check? No. No. What? I’m I’m saying you add you I I don’t think you get their top three. No. Do you hate um Wallace? I don’t hate him, but I just if I could push get you’re not get a top if you’re getting three first round picks. I don’t think you get a top player for Trey. You really I like K. I like K. I like K. Kase is Kase is good. I I I would have probably tried to take a flyer on topic, but I know he, you know, I hope everything’s going well with him. I know he had a cancer diagnosis. Yeah. What do you think about this? Like hard. I I like I’m in the Harside fantasy season with the Clippers, dog. So, Isaiah Joe, I like Isaiah Joe, too. I like Isaiah Joe. I just like I I I like Yeah. I mean, here’s my thing, Leo. If if you can’t get a deal that you like at the trade deadline for Trey, there’s no there’s no need to rush to trade Trey because you have what? This is the first year of his new extension. Is that right? I think so. So, you still have like three more years of control. Like I think you can get a really good trade offer in the off season, see what teams are in the draft lottery and kind of go from there. He’s your best asset. Yo, you ever looked at the Thunder roster? Thought the waves. You ever looked at the Thunder roster? Yeah. There’s a million [ __ ] on here who do the exact same thing. Disgusting. Um, I don’t know what you get for what do you get for Zion later? Yo, this is a crazy question. How’d you get in? Uh one special. Uh what would I get for Zion? Yeah. I mean I would hope to get a first, right? Let me ask somebody. No, somebody got to give me a first dog. You got to give me first. Let me ask you this. Do you think he will succeed once he leaves the Pelicans? Yeah, you do. But I don’t think in a trade you can’t be worried about that. No, no, no. I’m just asking just like Okay, let me ask you this. What do you What’s succeeding for Zion? 65 plus games. He’s He’s going to average 20 for the rest of his life. Like, he’s just going to No. 65. No. Really? No. Maybe 60. Damn. But I think he go I think he going to succeed though. I think he’ll succeed. You do? Yeah. Cuz I think you put him in a competent organization who probably like will have somebody like tracking his [ __ ] body weight percentage and [ __ ] like that. And you put him with like vets and you put them with, you know, you put him on a team where if Zion is probably your your second Zion your third option some [ __ ] like that. I don’t think I don’t think no team Zion on if he the best player you going nowhere. No. Do you like Kam Do you want Kaminga Leo? this point, bro, I take a bag of chips and a pineapple big shot. Be pit pitting. Uh, you went from MVP aspirations to someone you can just hope you on the court. Damn. I would take Dort in the picks. Damn. I can’t take D. Why? Why? I can’t I’m I’m not I’m what I don’t know what you you wouldn’t take Lou Dort Kase and Wallace is my that’s what do you what is Lou Dort going to do for me? I don’t have Shay Chad like what what is Lou D going to do? Kay Wilders could at least create his own. Look, man. Like, he’s have he’s struggling this year, but in 2023, 2024, he shot 39% from deep and last year he shot 41% from deep. He’s had a really rough start. Based on whose gravity, though, is what I’m saying. Fair. Totally fair. That’s fair. It’s a good point. Obviously, he’s still going to play. He’s still a good player. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I agree. But Okay. I mean, he just like he kind of like flew Dort. I’m like, “What, bro?” No, it wasn’t it wasn’t like that. It was just like I’m thinking I like Is this AO Jer? Sorry, Leo. My bad. Is this AO number 14 for Chicago? No. No. Oh, it’s the white dude. Yeah. Mess. Mess. Yeah, I like AO. I like AO as well. illness. My bad, bro. You You’re No, I’m just saying I like to keep everybody in in this proper perspective. When I think about it, it’s like shout out the ways. It’s like, yeah, he shot this, but who’s on the floor is going to create those shots for him here? Yeah. Look, you’re gonna need Jesus. You’re gonna need some type of alpha Uh, I don’t know who. Usually that’s your best player, right? No. Ain’t this ain’t your best player usually alpha? That’s usually how it goes. What do you think of this, Leo? What are your thoughts on uh because it’s funny like Herb shooting 36% from deep right now averaging nine and a half points. He’s shooting 39% from the field. Yuck. And he just he’s on a new contract, too. I’m gonna say I don’t know. He maybe he been asked to do too much. See and h sorry maybe he been asked to do too much and he’s Yeah. Who better Ludo better than her? Yeah he is. Never mind. Don’t worry about that. He is. He’s a better defender for sure. Better offensive player. Um, hey, it’s Liam 849. I’m going to be emotional, but [ __ ] it. Every day I watch this team, I stick up for this team. This [ __ ] is getting sad. All these other teams are having fun or have a future. Where are we? Also, [ __ ] Nico. Facts. Ain’t nothing wrong being emotional, dog. You got more hug than everybody on. They are lit. They do not give a [ __ ] They are making money. They don’t care. H. No. I I don’t know. I don’t know what Danny Age is after. I ain’t gonna lie. I don’t know. He’s Would I Would I Would I do it? Absolutely. Damn. See, people are starting to catch on. People are getting pissed off with his injured self. And the NBA’s got a problem just in in general. Um, I mean, Wim hurt. Uh, [ __ ] Uh, what’s his name? Uh, Trey Trey Young is still hurt. Darius Garland is out every other night. Like the injuries are just starting to pile up, man. Like, and it’s not just with the Pelicans, but everything. I know we’ve been doing this now for like three or four years, but um the league this year, man, has just so many stars injured. Um they’re they’re gonna have to figure something out cuz this is it’s not enjoyable to watch. Leo, imagine paying like seriously imagine you’re going to get Simon Williamson, Jordan Pool, DeJonte Murray, whatever. You pay for this game and you show up and it’s no it’s nobody, you know, and you never know. night tonight on the NBA floor. Who’s gonna show up? And you want to raise ticket prices and all this other [ __ ] It’s just a bad product right now, man. You know, think about it, bro. Like, think about it. Like, for seven years now, ticket price has been raised for the Pelicans and everyone’s anticipating seeing Zion, seeing Zion, seeing Zion, and they never see him. like they’d never see him. I ain’t going to lie, bro. That’s your fault. Not you, per se, but Yeah. I know. Like a after like the third or fourth year, like, “All right, this is enough.” Um Yeah, man. It’s frustrating. Not Not really Not really feeling like I’m I’m not I’m not I’m not spending my family’s money on Zion Williamson. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think Joe knows his time or No, I’m scared to answer what Joe know. I ain’t going to lie. I’m scared to answer. Yeah, cuz you know. So, he’s missed 11 games so far. He’s playing 10. We’re three and 18. Yo, Joe fired. I got a question later. You ever like I’ve never done this before. Like like I’ve never been a Pelicans fan and then gone on like a Blazer show and started making fun of the show or making fun of that team. Like that’s just so [ __ ] weird to me. Like why like why watch a Pelican show? People are losers. Justin, I don’t know. I can’t understand why a loser does what a loser does. I don’t know if I I don’t know if he’s even making I know a clip it’s making fun of us or just front office. I mean and listen he probably he has every right to make fun of us. That’s it. That’s it right there. Like bro, like we are the laughing stock of the league, bro. The Atlanta Hawks came in to your Oh my gosh. home and they [ __ ] had Atlanta that’s pants like like yeah Lou Dor not to mention this is nothing to do with anything but we were just having a conversation of who was better between her and Lou Dort Lou Dort ended your season by giving you 40 in a playoff series. Leto, you’re the one. You’re the one that scoffed at me when I said when I said Lou Dort or whenever the comment was that you started this. You’re the problem. That’s fair. I’m not immune to criticism, Justin. What we need to do now is get focused and stop pointing fingers. You’re a problem. You’re a real real problem. I’m not immune to criticism. All I can No one even shows up for the show anymore, man. Like, we just It’s just For what? Look at what Look at what they’ve done to us. What? Why would you show up for the show? What? Justin, let me ask you a question. Why would you show up to I’m a professional. This is hard. Pause. I mean, being being associated with losing, it just does something to my spirit. Hey, do you think do you think we’re losers? Yeah, for sure. I agree. Cuz weeks out Yeah. Look at the [ __ ] we got to go through. The [ __ ] we got to defend. Like people on the internet be talking crazy about us, bro. Talking crazy. It’s me. It’s me. You talking crazy about us, bro. And I and then the crazy part is you be trying to defend a team and a team hates you too. Like the team hates me, but I have to defend the team against Right. Like because it’s RT, right? Like Yeah. Like the team hates me. Yeah. Yeah. I’m a [ __ ] loser. No, I’m a loser. Absolutely. Absolutely. I’m a loser. What’s your buddy buddy? Appreciate the super chat. No way we’re worse off than the Clippers and Kings. Clippers have money though. Kings, they’ll be fine. I mean, a king. We’re trying to have a successful team under the luxury tax. Like, it ain’t gonna work. Hafa, do we ever win in the [ __ ] skeleton jersey? Honestly, I wonder what our record is. You know who You know who just like mailed it in, Leo? Buy that guy. Bu that guy. Where’d you go? Has he been here this year? No, he [ __ ] mailed it in, too. Wow. He must have knew the season that was upon us. Can’t be mad at him for that, Justin. Did everyone else quit the [ __ ] Everybody quit, bro. Just us. Just us. Might be a twoman pie for the rest of the Is it a twoman game? That’s what we should call the show. Two man game. [ __ ] man. It’s 252 people in here. Y’all losers, too. But I [ __ ] What do y’all I I don’t know like what y’all want to talk about. Um I got like want to do like 10 more minutes. Ludo, it’s cool, man. Hey, whatever y’all want to talk about, put it in the chat. Lane Keifin. Hey, go Tigers. Lane Kein to LSU. That’s big time. Saints lost again. Reporter was right. Justin, what? The reporter was right though. The reporter who asked him if he was a housewife or the other word. the reporter was right. But you know what’s funny about this, Leo? Like, and sorry, we’re get a little lank in here, but he made a like he he had like hund00 million to go coach a team. Oh, shout out to LA. I’m sorry. Oh, yeah. La show up. $100 million to go coach LSU. Um, and he This is where it gets difficult, Leo, because I see both sides. Lane wanted to finish out the year with Miss and go. I’m not I’m not letting you finish that, Justin. I’m not letting you like stop. I’m not letting you do that. Dead ass. Why would I let you do that? Cuz I got you in this position. Okay. And now you took another job, bro. You got to get the [ __ ] out of here. So you’re you’re going to punish me for taking a better job? Yes. Better pay. The [ __ ] Yes. Yes. That’s a really good leader. Yeah, that shows some heart. What? Really? Justin. Justin. No, Leo. No, that’s not work. Do not get to have cake and eat cake. You don’t get that. So, you’re So, you’re telling me? Okay. if another company, another media company offered you more money and was like, “Hey, you have to take this deal now or finish out the the rest of your, you know, contract with Boot Crew Media.” Now, it was like either you do this now or you leave. Do I get to drink on that show? And can I say what I can I say what I want? Because No, I’m not going. I I just That’s fair. Justin, do you blame Do you blame Do you blame Lane Keifin for taking the deal? No. Nobody’s at fault, bro. Nobody’s at fault. Okay. Well, that’s why I want to make important. I I don’t think Lane Kein’s at fault. No, but you still, Bro, that’s Justin. It’s like if a girl who you met at a party see can’t do this. No, no, no, no. Why I can’t? Okay. All right. Hold on. All right. All right. All right. Okay. I’ll put some I’ll put some more. uh uh time on a relationship. A woman who you’ve been married to for six years, right? Goes out one night, she meets [ __ ] Jeff Bezos, right? She’s like, “Look, he got money. It’s better opportunity for me. I’m leaving you.” She says, “But listen, I’ll come home one more night and I’ll cook dinner for you and the kids.” You gonna let her cook dinner? See, you can’t do that, Leo. Come on. Cuz marriage is not a job. Marriage is not a job. [ __ ] I mean, I It’s a job, but it’s not like you don’t get paid for it. You should [ __ ] like, okay, I just thought Give me another example. Give me another example. What’s a what’s a real life I need a real life example of this [Music] job? I’m just trying to think it could go any day job. Leo, he got offered more money at another job. You’re telling me he wouldn’t take that? And that job said, “Hey, you need to start. You need to start today.” No. No. No. No, nobody’s saying anything about taking a job. So, okay, that’s what I’m trying to get at. Let me rephrase it. Sorry, [ __ ] that up. Another job offers you more money. Okay. And they basically say, you can finish out your your contract. You’ll have a job waiting for you. This is what we’re going to pay. Blah blah blah. Right? And that job that you have to finish the contract out says no, you have to commit to another year or you have to sign this this extension in order to finish out your contract. You doing it or you taking the other you’re taking the other job. Second of the job. So who’s at fault? Nobody. That’s But that’s what I’m saying. Nobody’s at fault. I think the AD of Old Miss is. You don’t have to go home, Justin, but you got to get the hell out of here. I disagree. I disagree. How is the ADFO, bro? You should let him close it out. Why? Because this is the first time ever in program history this has happened. And you left it and you left it. I didn’t offer your job to anybody. Just got offered more money. The circumstances are the circumstances. But why? But but but what I’m trying to get at is why is we can go through all these scenarios. My point was trying to my point was is that college football has to change the schedule because you’re right. Nobody’s really at fault. I see both sides.

Trade Zion and set him free from New Orleans, please! Nobody who will be a star wants to be in New Orleans.
Trade Missi for an air pump.
The worst part is that we don’t have hope.
Trade Looney and Missi. They are the WEAKEST Link
Your leaders are Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole bro my laugh turned cough real quick
Need picks for the draft. Take your pick out of Herb, D Murray, G Crawford, Jose, J Poole, Zion. Trade 4 out of this group and bring back 2 1st picks and we're good.
Aside from the team, don’t yall give up fellas. It’s a special show better than the rest. Still entertaining and in fact better then watching the pelicans at the moment
Also the player on the thunder is Ajay Mitchell trust me
Looney looked horrible james lineups are terrible
Don’t be too harsh on yourself Justin I swear it only just hit me too, he really was a generational talent coming in, a physical specimen one of a kind… came in with the wrong attitude and this franchise was just never the right place to hold him accountable
New Orleans can never keep a superstar or star player from Baron, Cp, jr smith, Dwest, Tyson Chandler, AD, cousins, rondo, jrue, now Zion
But I tell you this from some inside info zion doesn’t want to play for this organization from the minute restrictions, to play style after van gundy, green, & to let go of the players like lonzo, & jrue that Zion asked team to keep them but the organization didn’t listen.
Losing is a disease. We’re all losers but we have heart.
if Zion was in the film Moneyball, he would've been the blacklisted player to draft
Oof
The Zion tell all episode gonna be insane
I don’t care about that pick because we got queen if queen was terrible than yeah but queen is a dawg so fuck that pick and we can get picks once we trade Zion herb trey etc
Boston needs a zion
Blow it up!! Queen, fears and Peavey need players around their age group. Keep DJ and Jose for the locker room
Okc is not giving up J dubb
Realistically i would take the kid from Georgetown or Cason wallace and a 1st
Soft ass team. Street clothes is the culture. These guys have no pride and it’s not the young rookies it’s folks who’ve been here. This shit is becoming unwatchable on TV let alone attending games.
I agree! You don’t want your rookies getting used to losing as the norm. At least be competitive for all 48 minutes and have fun so the moral doesn’t fall
Tag me in if yall gettin tired, I have at least 200 hours of complaining I can do
55:54 this nigga jus say Lou Dort !?!?! 😂😂😂😂end the pod immediately
Justin my guy you can't care more than millionaire players and billionaire owner you gotta let go I can't care more than them Kendrick Lamar next song
Fire 🔥 Sale 👈 is it about time 😮
Bey and Murray are the only two players I won’t trade….. please don’t trade Bey, he’s your leader on a true rebuild….
Justin: "Do you think we're losers?"
Lito: "Yes…"
Justin: "I agree…"
LMFAO
Compare money spent by other winning and losing organizations around the association to see if the investment infrastructure of the Pelicans aligns with others (e.g., training staff, assistant coaches, facilities, etc.).
