00:00i wanted to get on sad oh yeah what were your thoughts on that i know we brushed on it
00:04but
00:05zion seems like he the the quote that that is circulating was him saying he's not where he
00:11wants to be and i wasn't everyone's interpreting it like oh he's not where he wants to be in his
00:16career like he has still has a lot to to prove and to me i was like i don't think
00:21he wants to
00:21be in new orleans i think he just wants to get out brother somber tone in which he said this
00:29really reflected way more on his personal life even though he specifically said basketball wise
00:37i'm not where i want to be but basketball wise can also mean the location in which i play in
00:44basketball wise can be the franchise in which i play for i think of all the players in the league
00:50that young man and his antics off the court he needs to unplug from new orleans
00:58and find another place to play but they're so void of a star i think them drafting of derrick queen
01:05and jeremiah fears i thought that was them turning the door or turning turning uh you know the the
01:12turnstile to get someone else in there and get him out of there and that doesn't seem to be the
01:17situation so either nobody will take that contract speaking of speaking of bad contracts either no one
01:25don't take it or new orleans is not they don't want to trade them because they believe the potential
01:29is still there but at some point what year does the potential run out that's what i'm that's what
01:33i'm saying because again i keep saying this every year i keep buying into the pelicans talent that they
01:40have individually with each player and you look at the roster and it's like well this contender
01:45wants trey murphy this contender wants herb jones this contender wants zion this contender wants this
01:50guy and i'm thinking like well if they have all these coveted players why are they not good like
01:57why are they consistently bad if all of these guys are wanted by contenders and listen i am a massive
02:03trey murphy fan i think he could be great but it seems like they want to keep running this back
02:09with
02:09the hopes that hey maybe we'll break through one year it's not gonna happen i don't trust good
02:15players on bad teams period it's very fair trey murphy is great on a team where there's no pressure
02:23herb jones is great on a team where there's no pressure none whatsoever in new orleans there's no
02:29pressure for them to do anything i don't trust those types of players to play bigger roles on new teams
02:35and because zion has never ever really lived up to the potential or what people thought he would be
02:42because of injury i just think that that ship has sailed and new orleans would be better off
02:47just starting over with jeremiah fears and derrick queen and these other parts and moving forward in
02:53that way but i don't think they will yeah i absolutely agree i'm a big jeremiah fears and derrick
02:58queen fan uh so i i think that they should turn the page and i think this is the last
03:03year they do it
03:03you
