[@formosanflyfisherman1420]

He’s about to have a productive offseason, come back next year at full strength and dominate the league

[@thomasjbo7594]

I can’t wait to see what this young man’s future holds in this league. Z gonna keep proving the doubters wrong in 2024/25!

[@The_English_Pels_Fan]

Z, appreciate the efforts this season, come back stronger next season mate! 🏀🇬🇧

[@chrismurphnc]

If he add that mid range jumper this summer he will be unstoppable!

[@ontopsoonTV]

He definitely need it for 1 to take his game to another level and for 2 take all that pounding off his body they beat dude up on every shot he take lol

[@jesmondlagado7475]

And lose weight or else he is gonna end his career short with injuries

One thing i hope people like.Barkley and Steve A Smith.Zion is still the best player on this team.If he was playing this would have been a good series.

[@formosanflyfisherman1420]

I don’t think k there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind, they would have won the series

[@komaichan99]

He would dominate the okc

There is no doubt he is best player The most important thing is how reliable u n be there for your team Example if it was lebron he would have played sorry it is what it is

I'm so glad to watch this new era of the NBA, Zion looking good, Wemby improving big time. It's just fun to watch, Edwards, the new stars are already in the making, and in a few years time maybe super stars.

[@morrelldaggs1185]

Call me naive but I like what he is talking about!!!

[@paytonpleasant]

The Pelicans Public Address announcer and stadium needs improvement. In other words-If the fans arent present and loud enough then we need to manufacture some audio to give us an advantage at home. Teams have a significant advantage at home compared to the Pelicans. The competition has new stadiums like the clippers, mavericks, warriors, even OKC is building a stadium and they are called loud city for a reason … our stuff is old. We barely have chants and when we do it isn’t loud. Only on rare occasions when most are really into the game after a Zion dunk or something. Let’s fix the simple stuff. -lifelong Pelicans fan

[@DMVBLACK]

You’re not incorrect but it’s funny hearing a pelicans fan say life long fan when they’ve only been the pels for like 10 years lol

[@MaximillianParish]

I can tell he’s grown up now don’t got comfortable wit expressing himself in front of the media

[@makadoshez1564]

Zion said he saw a lot of growth this season, I didn't see that at all! If you want to be real about it the Pelicans have regressed a few steps back from where they were a few seasons ago

[@jajaiarigaga2842]

How they literally had more wins than in the past seasons in one of the most competitive western conferences ever

[@makadoshez1564]

More wins during the season don't mean anything, I only care about the Play-in/play-offs! You didn't need to say literally as well, it adds less emphasis to the point you attempting to make! Having more wins this season is what the players/coaches will say to the fans to paper over the cracks they had a unsuccessful season. People like you buy in to that crap, but they ain't fooling me!

[@jhealey1865]

I am really excited for this team. Zion is definitely moving in the right direction, and next season, this new and improved team will have something no other team will have. Stay tuned because you will have to be there to see it. #teers4life

Zion already looks 20 pounds heavier. Man, people can do whatever the fuck they want to be happy, I know some people even drown the sorrow with food. It's been year after year his body denying him to achieve his dreams, it's not easy to deal with. As a person, I'm sympathetic, but as a fan, I'm worried it's gonna be a slow start for next season yet again. We would be 4th seed if the Zion from January had appeared in October, fresh and fit. Hope he can get rest and forget the disappointment and be able to focus on his goals

[@jefferyfennix3181]

Man stop all the hating! BI will be gone and you go with him!

[@AlexandreG]

@jefferyfennix3181 hmmmm, I don't know why you would think that, I was his biggest fan when he came to New Orleans but he has been impersonating Ben Simmons to the best of his capabilities when the lights are bright... And I have never been a big Ben Simmons fan

[@ben1ben2ben1]

Dude, Zion was 260lbs as a superstar 15 year old in high school. It is completely unrealistic for him to ever get to anywhere close 220lbs. Zion could be 5% body fat and still be way bigger than 220. He should trim up, but unless he cut his legs off its impossible to get to 220lb. A more realistic weight is what he was at Duke. Which is 280lbs. Maybe 270, but even that is probably unrealistic

We don't need to cut valancunis but we need someone to replace Nance for sure. Y'all lost every single important game this year.....pure garbage

[@HatTrickSwayzee]

Sounds like a guy who knows nothing about basketball or the team lmao. Also, we can't "cut" Valanciunas, he is a unrestricted free agent. Moron.

[@DMkizzy]

Your actually dumb, Zion is 14 months older than anthony edwards, his ceiling this year proved he is the key to a ring, there are a handful of players who can be built around and provide a ring realistically Zion is one of them and here you are advocating for giving up on him after he played 70 games and continued to get better and now he has a whole off season of being healthy instead of getting to healthy. Also you have no objective evidence of Zion not wanting to be here I’m sure like any player as long as their being compensated for their worth by their contracts they are fine.
