I’m ready for my boy BI to start his next chapter. Tired of the ungrateful fans of this franchise treating BI like stepchild for Zion who hasn’t scored a playoff point.

I've been saying this for years but the New Orleans Pelicans/Hornets are cursed. Every star they get, they are gone before the end of the second contract.

Zion is an "IF" player kind of guy to me. If is he was healthy narrative all the time. Every player in the league right now would relish the opportunity to be given patience and backing of the franchise to replace Zion at any moment.

This 7am vid is perfect timing. ..Me on my 12th beer on what I still consider a Monday night as long as I'm awake.

I really want Ingram and Zion to work out 😢😢😢😢

BI was also playing through injury

Tre Murphy can't get his own shot

As a Thunder fan letting Jonas walk is a mistake we need the size and so do yall. We’ll take em off you if yall don’t need him he’s a great fit for the thunder we’ve been missing a true big since Steven Adams.

Player A: beast in the paint, midrange very questionable, on again of again motor, doesnt shoot threes, can only be decently effective with the ball in his hand yet is very turnover prone, defensively he has to be motivated or else he is a cone, Can be easily game planned against, is constantly hurt with season ending injuries and cant be bribed with bonuses to stay in shape. Player B: 3 level scorer, more consistent and range on matchups defensively, semi constanly hurt but never with season ending injuries, has proved when even close to 100% healthy ( wasnt fully healthy vs suns either but not many players are at that point) he will eat in the playoffs, dedicated to the city and sport so much that he refused to miss the play-in to give team best chance of succeeding unlike another player who was healthy yet decided he didnt feel like him yet, played bad owned up to it instead of blaming the rest of the team and coaches while out of breath 30 mins after the game talking about a backseat. Give me B everytime

Don't Do it Pelicans! Don't let Ingram go, because if Zion had to choose between Wendys and New Orleans, he gonna choose Wendys every single time.

You need to make a video of how the whole pelican coaching staff need to be fired 🔥😤

Tbh idk y but I’ve always said I wanted to see Brandon Ingram play of the Grizzlies next to Ja

Agreed. We had no patience with Hart and Nickeil. Yikes, two seasons where we don't win a championship, let's make some big trades (that are now aging). This team has a nervous aura about it.

I don’t know about D Griffin but if you have a great gm and patience things will usually work out in the end

I totally agree with everything you said… I will subscribe your channel, you know what you’re talking about 💯

Pelicans needs a real PG for Zion to be truly unstoppable.

I really hope they stay put

I think what we are seeing is that superstars should have input but little weight in managerial decisions. Its been pretty evident especially recently these guys come in, destroy the franchises chances of long term success with a "win now superteam" and they all fall flat because they don't have the cash or assets to build a strong supporting cast.

THE 🐐 COOP‼️

Trade Cj who disappears in the big moment and get an actual PG and SG combo and a taller center. BI needs to stay in NOLA and Zion needs to add more to his game bc it’s easy to stop him from driving

Difficult to learn to play with someone who hasn't played much and most of B.i time with the pels he's been solo

My boy coop wit the scoop early on the AM….but honestly if the pels wanna move on from Zion my Knicks can definitely made a bid for him…..gettin rid of Julius Randle has never been more clear

As a hornets fan, I can confirm you guys are doing great compared to us

Cut Zion what has he done for talks franchise since being there?

Send BI to the Knicks! Bing Bong 💪🏽

I feel like the pelicans are at a crossroad where they can get really good this offseason or really bad

PLEASE COVER THE PLAYOFFS

NAW said himself it took getting traded to Utah to realize what he needed to stay in the NBA.

He gotta lose weight plain and simple. You keep getting hurt you should play at at smaller weight. Not saying he ain’t in decent shape but you gotta be leaner to be more durable

Zion is a hell of a player, but unfortunately he has been plagued with injuries mainly due to his weight.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

To this day I can’t tell which pick was the best… Ja or Zion

Zion was breathing so hard in tht interview 😂

I love BI, but I really want Herb, Trey, and Zion as our starters. BI is a baller, but I think his game doesn't allow this team to be the best version of itself.

BI needs to go to okc

BI doesn't fit with Zion it's time to move on and if I'm the Pels I'm keeping Zion and building a team around him - BI had his chance to be "the guy" in the playoffs without Zion and he absolutely shat the bed..

Brandon got to start being a force without the ball . He's not a freak athlete and that is what the coach be looking at. He knows he can shoot but its all the little tangible that he don't do without the ball.

the issue is McCollum. in theory ingram fits great next to zion. i'd package those lakers and bucks picks and get a true playmaker. thats what they need.

De slim reefa mon time come to de end of de trail jah bless

Three way trade. BRANDON INGRAM goes to BK. MIKAL BRIDGES to Knicks. Pels. Get Bogan, Mitchell Robinson, a first rd pick and a second round pick

Zion will always be a risky player because of the habits he have.. Just keeping the 💯. 🤘🏻

give zion david goggins

It's difficult to play with a teammate who is rarely on the court. You need to build synergy and continuity. Brandon has given his heart and soul for this team. I love Zion, but I can't entertain 'what ifs' for a player who hasn't shown that he can be available.

Yes CJ was a big liability in playoffs they was tearing him a new butthole

Imho Zion misses Zo and the Pels haven't replace him since. BI and Zion should've been a better fit but BI's too ball dominant.

Z has nearly zero game. Dude has, what, one paint move? And he's not a competitor. Not at this level at any rate.

Pels need a C and a PG. Draft Filipowski and Sears. Trade BI insert Trey. Just get Spida. Please!!

Imagine Griff extending Z while unsure of his health that time while hes hesitant to extend BI today bec of the series vs OKC? Dude is the only scorer that series and they only need to defend him plus WG didn't do any changes for 4 games to help him 🤦🤦..i really hope they trade BI out 🙏🙏🙏

NO should trade Zion to Utah for John collins Jordan Clarkson & Utah's 3 first round picks in this year draft seriously

I don't think Zion is a bust. I think the Pelicans are a bust.

Our big 3 just doesn’t play well on the floor together. Brandon takes the hardest shots and slows down the offense plus our 4th quarter performances are one of the worst in the league fr…im cool with shopping Brandon & getting a big & w PG. that’s what we need.

Trade wenby ngl build around ingram hes almost never injured and can get buckets

only thing that zion need to do this offseason is demand a trade and get the hell out of pelicons.

Cj needs to go and as well as zion make a run for a top 10 pick

Mannn I know I might be hypocritical because ofc during the playoffs I was hating on BI… but after cooling down, I think it might be a mistake. This dude is genuinely one of the best scorers in the league when he’s on one, but the playoffs was an unfortunate situation where he was playing off an injury. CJ and Jonas for sure got to go… but idk if we really need to put him up for sale as aggressively as we are right now.

Pelicans need someone who can be healthy in whole season😢

If Zion locks in and finds his own Mamba mentality type of focus the Pelicans will be fine. He just has to get there but the clock is ticking⏲️🤔

Pelicans like alot of teams have underperformed with the talent that they have.

Bro needs to go back to not showing his face lol 💀

*sigh* good morning, coop. lol.

2:49 for anything relevant

Bro how you expect his game to evolve when zion can't be on the floor lol..

Feel bad for yall Pels fans..

BI would be dirty on GS

I always wanted Ingram in OKC.... P Giddy for him straight up

Yaw need to bring back cp3

I’d like the pelicans I’m gonna roll with them

Ingram coming home to LA 😎

Bring CJ off the bench start trey keep Ingram and get a rim protector athlete with size should have kept Hayes . Play Hawkins more and run plays for trey let both Ingram and Zion create off each other and they'll smoke everyone

Bi and Zion can benefit from a pg

This team is DONE they need to trade Zion because BI is the one that kept the team afloat I meant honestly its hard to have a TEAM with a star player thats constantly out of shape and have P stars trolling him on social media he needs to be traded IMMEDIATELY cause Im sure other players are looking at that and wondering why they are being traded and on the bench and not him

Move CJ and get a rim protector and PG at all cost

If I were the Pels I would trade Zion. Either way one of them gotta go, they don’t complement each other very well

Pelicans have too many wings and they need a PG and a C. If they aren't trading Ingram, they need to move either Herb or Trey.

You guys had Malik monk too he was shooting 41% getting 5 minutes 😂

Trade Zion for a treasure trove from whatever team is dumb enough to cough it up and build around Ingram, Zions upsides are ASTRONOMICAL. The likelihood he ever realizes those upsides are also astronomically against him. Not only is his availability a rollercoaster but he will probably pack on those pounds he's lost in the off season due to the injury and the fact its the off season.

Definitely a fan base divided at this moment. I’m on the side of trading BI for some better fitting pieces around Zion. I want to see this team win a chip it just isn’t very realistic unless we get an owner that’s willing to go all in for one.

They don’t play well together, they are actually putrid on the floor with one another. They have no choice, they know the second they trade Zion he’s gonna explode and they will look like fools. With Ingram we have seen what he’s got and he’s a solid player but not a franchise guy.

Ingram isn’t a great 2nd option imo

I’d trade Zion at this point

GoPels

If Zion doesn’t want to play ball he should go!!!!!

Zion Needs a Good PG. Like Trae Young. Or a Jalen Brunson

They should sign and trade Bi instead of letting him go in free agency for nothing they need trade CJ his playoff chocker he only can show up 2 game series

Zion looks and sounds like an athlete with diabetes trying to be an athlete without diabetes, for gods sake get him a personal trainer that tells him the truth and not just a trainer after the $$$!

It's crazy how much NBA fans enjoy hating on players even if they're the core of your organization. Both Zion and BI are incredible players but if they don't mesh then you should move on from one and hope for the best for them and appreciate what they brought you while they were there. All this hate is cringey ash

How can BI's game complement Zion? They are always injured.

Yup, he's gone 😐

Clarkson BI Markkanen Zi Jonas

Trae Young can't win the east he definitely won't be a winner in West

I’m sorry, but this is the best basketball you’re gonna see from Ingram

We need to drop Zion. Brandon at least tries. It's no secret that nobody wants to play in nola. Exactly why we should keep the guys who do. 3:40 Well, that and for people who we support to not come out talking crap about us after they leave. That would be cool.

2 sorry ex-Duke 1 n done players

Dwight to the pels?

These idiots should trade Zion bro is worthless XD 😂😂😂😂

Ad sucks now

Zion comes back next season losing another 25 pounds

He can’t take out josh hart cause they got no one else 😂😂

I’m down for a Ingram swap for Trae Young. I like Ingram, he just don’t fit our play style
