What do we think of this potential offseason? Does this give them a chance to compete in the west?

[@gerryconstant4914]

JV is now a free agent & at this point in todays Association a backup so it would take a sign & trade to move him. CJ adjust his game to become a long range shooter. Ingram is the player that they will move either th Atlanta for Young or Murray, or Cleveland for Allen. Also you have to convince Coach Green to play Hawkins so he can develop on the D side of the court. Why pay Ingram $41 million a year when he can't adjust to the new style of play that Coach James Berago wants him to play.

[@_AVC_]

Yeah I don’t think anyone is gonna trade for JV, that’s why I figure ya just keep him. I also really hope they play Hawkins next year. That kid is so tough!

[@thetripletsbadboys4621]

Thé pélicans should bé insane to do that. Absolutely insane.

[@_AVC_]

I like all the foreign keyboard you’re using haha. Anyway, what part are you talking about?

[@thetripletsbadboys4621]

@@_AVC_ haha. Sorry for the keyboard, am from France. Am a pels fan, and your présentation IS a disaster for us. No offensé lol. First Valentinas. WE are not even using him, so whats thé point of bringing him back? Honnestly i will call thé pistons and offer bi for jalen duren and their first round pick or something liké that. I will also trade cj. Zion IS AT his best with guys around him who Can shoot and défend. WE néed a playmaker. A pointguard. Its better to do a hard reset now than later. Basically, keep Zion, Trey, Herb, Hawkins, Nance, José, , get rid of BI, CJ, JV..., bring a center and an élite guard. Jalen duren and malik Monk would bé a good fit. And keep building from thé draft. WE have a lot of picks. WE Can even trade for a star liké Donovan Mitchell

[@_AVC_]

@@thetripletsbadboys4621 Haha totally fine my french friend! Live that you’re a Pelicans fan it’s very appropriate haha. So I hear you on Jonas. I don’t love the fit either. But I don’t see another option. You don’t have the money to go out and get anyone else and I don’t know who you trade for. Duren would be cool but why is Detroit trading him? They have no reason to, and I promise you BI is more impactful. You make a comment about Zion being at his best with defenders and shooters around him, so we are in agreement 😂. That’s what we built in the video, so I guess I don’t understand the problem. It feels like you just want current players gone and that’s totally fine if you do. I just think this team needs some tweaks because they are so close to being competitive.

[@michaelhochhold5245]

Love this series! Maybe you can do a Clipper one in the future

[@_AVC_]

For the playoff teams I’m gonna do them whenever they get eliminated! So you probably will get your wish haha. Glad you like it so far, it’s evolved a lot already since the first one haha. Also… the Clippers will be really hard 😅.

[@brentfaiyazsons1809]

Was waiting for this one 😂

[@_AVC_]

You know I got you 🫡😂. What do we think of the end result?

[@brentfaiyazsons1809]

@@_AVC_ I really think I would prefer Dejounte over Trae but still think either one would be great

[@_AVC_]

@@brentfaiyazsons1809 He definitely offers more versatility so I can understand that. I think having a closer will make up for the lack of defense though. If they didn’t have all those wing defenders I would probably agree that they should go after Murray.

[@joshcross7912]

You did a great job would rather Murray bt you did probably the best REALISTIC offseason transition. Thanks from Nola fan.

[@_AVC_]

Aye I appreciate it! I try to be as fair/realistic as possible haha. Out of curiosity why Murray over Trae? I can probably guess but I like to hear thoughts.

[@JackSawatzky-v6t]

Murray is less expensive and probably fits a little better next to the pels roster but you can go ether way trae is amazing to

[@_AVC_]

@@JackSawatzky-v6t I don’t know if he is better fit necessarily, I worry his offensive plays type takes away operating area from Zion. But like you said I think both would be a great upgrade.

[@337_Brandon]

I think they will explore trading for a smaller more athletic center and Naji/Dyson is def on the table. They want more playmaking at the guard spot. BI is tough but for the right player he IS on the table.

[@_AVC_]

I mean yeah I bet he isn’t untouchable. Not many players can do what he does though.

[@ckmuah]

Will definitely not bring back JV.

[@_AVC_]

You might not have a choice 😅

[@josh-z9u]

They deferred the LAL 2024 pick to next year FYI.

[@_AVC_]

I can’t tell if this is a serious comment or not 😅. You are correct. Please look at the upload date.

[@BigBroKuma]

Tbh I've just always assumed the Spurs would get Trae due to the fact that they could just straight up outbid the Pelicans. The ypung players are great but I was thinking that maybe the Hawks would want their own picks back since the future of their team is so uncertain and tye next draft class is already getting some buzz

[@_AVC_]

Yeah I totally get what you are saying. I don’t know if they even want Trae and more importantly I think there is a business reason why it won’t happen. The Hawks front office already looks bad for the Murray deal, but if they go make another deal with the same team and they give up the best player in the trade (Trae) it just looks really bad. Feel like that’s a good way to get fired.

[@BigBroKuma]

​@@_AVC_Hmmm that's a really good point I didn't think about that perspective 😂 man this is why I love yo channel I hope you blow up cause you always giving me a new perspective on realistic shit.

[@_AVC_]

@@BigBroKuma Haha it helps when you’re on the phone with the real people! I really appreciate the love my friend, I see you always leaving great comments and I love that! Best part about this thing is the conversations, I just really need people to talk hoops with! 😂

[@Wokalex]

W tyler smith he is so good he in my mock draft too

[@Wokalex]

And if im not wrong we resigned matt ryan to a 3 year and got 2 second riund picks from kira lewis jr

[@_AVC_]

@@Wokalex Yeah I like the Smith pick! I went and checked and you are totally right about Matt Ryan, my bad lol. Just forget Doug McDermott then haha. It looks like all those picks are on the move though from what I see on Spot Track and Fandspo.

[@BigBroKuma]

Just woke up and seen this 😂 you already know I was waiting for this

[@_AVC_]

You know I always try to deliver 🫡😂. Hopefully it turned out okay!

[@brentfaiyazsons1809]

Heat next?

[@_AVC_]

Literally just got doing the playoff recap video (dropping in 10 min), and I mention that video will be out at like 1pm CT today! Prepping for it as I type this!!

[@GuitarDragonNOLA]

3 words. Are you kidding?! 3 players and 3 1st rounders for Trae Young? Nooooo. Dyson isn't going anywhere. JV is gone. BI is a terrible clutch player. He needs to go, too. We need rim protection. Nance is good defensively but too undersized. Who's going to guard Joker, Wemby, etc.? Thanks, I just wasted a half hour listening to nonsense.

[@_AVC_]

Aw damn sorry ya didn’t like it. What do you think should happen this offseason?

[@joshcross7912]

Big Moves just Trade CJ for D.Murray and resign JV and draft Kel Ware.

[@_AVC_]

Ouu interesting you would rather have Murray? Out of curiosity why do you prefer him?

[@joshcross7912]

@@_AVC_ besides hus high IQ and High motor on Def he is very efficient esp over trae and pairing him with herb would most be hell for any gaurds in the league

[@_AVC_]

@@joshcross7912 That is an interesting thought. You could have a pretty crazy defense that way. I feel like prioritizing on ball defense is gonna be very big going forward so I like that though. Really my only concern is Murray likes to operate in Zion’s off ball space. I wonder if they can work around that?

[@joshcross7912]

@@_AVC_ He did shoot career high 36% this year soo he's not ah high volume 3pt shooter bt he is capable bt ah major pro to his game is that he knows his a 2nd 3rd option on a team trae idk if he buys into that being Zions team and out of the 2 Murray has the clutch gene.

[@_AVC_]

@@joshcross7912 I would agree with that and yeah he did shoot the deep ball better this year. Like I said I just know he wants to get inside the arc and operate from there. Gets a little congested then but hey that’s on the coach to manage that talent right?

[@Jerry-rg8mx]

They signing claxton.

[@_AVC_]

With what money? That would be interesting (not thrilled about the fit but interesting), but I genuinely am curious how you would get the space for him?

[@Jerry-rg8mx]

@AVC_Streams trade away bi or cj or both depending how aggressive Griff wants to be. Also this may be year ms B goes over lux tax.

[@_AVC_]

@@Jerry-rg8mx Wooah now that’s an unrealistic idea (Ms B lol). But hey maybe haha! Anyway back to Claxton. I know you want a center upgrade but is Claxton worth what you need to do to get him? I just worry we get blinded by the fact that he is the best available, and we won’t consider the fit/cost. Just some thought.

[@Jerry-rg8mx]

@AVC_Streams we've already shown intrest via those in the know.

[@Jerry-rg8mx]

@@_AVC_ val already sold and moved his stuff out of his home here.

[@rickeydeaville6502]

Would love a Drummond or Reid at center

[@_AVC_]

Might be able to get away with a MLE for Drummond but Naz probably not obtainable for em. Eventually it would be nice to have a stretch big out there.

[@dashawngonsoulin6541]

Get rid of Willie Green

[@_AVC_]

Honestly his playoff coaching really surprised me and not in a good way. His lack of adjustments and general rotation management confused me and a lot of my peers. The game plan just always seemed generally off. I don’t think you need to fire him because I like some of the things he does and I don’t think it’s fair to fire someone for 1 bad playoff appearance, but it’s something to watch.

[@dashawngonsoulin6541]

@@_AVC_ But after watching 82 pelicans games Willie Green had me scratching my head the whole season at times he just worried about defense a lot

[@_AVC_]

@@dashawngonsoulin6541 So coming from a coach, that does make some sense. It’s harder to teach that stuff, offense can be taught relatively quickly. There is definitely room for improvement but I don’t think we need to pull the plug yet.
