@baloser23@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham If you switch duren and zion the pelicans stay the 15 seed forever fans the positions go deeper in the playoffs.
With that playoff logic you must think Alex Caruso is better than Chris Paul cuz he has more rings
@baloser23@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham Having better playoff experience doesnโt make you a better player. Especially when you factor in the nuance, for example the Detroit pistons have a team around durant far better than any version of the New Orleans pelicans ever had around.
@baloser23@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham lol no, Zion for sure is a loser, he hasnโt won anything. And he has been a disappointment for most of his career, but a disappointment Zion is still better than the over achieving duren๐
@baloser23@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham He missed 84 games in total in 3 years, he had 1 bad year yeah. But people donโt look at Paulo who missed like almost 70 in the last 3 years and say the same things. People simply donโt care enough to look at the truth, they just push narratives and do no research
@baloser23@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham The beginning of a players career doesnโt define who they are. Itโs more of an accurate analytics to use a metric more closely related to who they are now not who they were. So let 3 years 162 games
@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham Bro ๐ญ the ai analytics is frying me, thereโs so much nuance. Ofcourse when your main guy is gone in the regular season you have to take a higher offensive load so you score more but itโs less efficiency and only on stints. And btw this is a 13 game sample size ๐ญ๐๐ฝjust give up
@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham Bro ai again ๐ญ๐๐ฝ simply looking at usage rate wonโt tell a story, analytics is killing yall bro. Watch the games, his role is not the same it was couple years ago, heโs way more off ball, and way more playmaking and getting others involved
@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham The fact you have to use ai is how I KNOW you donโt watch ball ๐ otherwise youd rmr 2023 season pels were first seed with Memphis in second before Zion got injured. Granted he did get injured so thereโs concerns but a healthy Zion is able to lead a team to 1st unlike duren
@Killakam9OO@ProPelsTalk I agree heโs not worth 70 mill, no second option or even someone tied for first is worth that. But they traded jb for a bag of chips and half an expired pretzel. I would rather keep jb this year, try to rebuild more value and win then do a sign n trade if it falls short
@nola_legend@FearTheBrown Give up our all star potential player in Trey Murphy is is more efficient, athletic and better defender on a more favourable contract than mpj???๐ญ AND dejounte? Coach gonna want defence
@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham And yeah z played 30 games, but you are isolating that one bad season in the middle of 2 good seasons of 70 and 62 games played, thatโs why I compared it to someone โhealthyโ like paolo who barely has played more games than Zion in the last 2 and 3 years
@darkomiIicic@FactsOnly__1@Zab_Ham Zion is better than duren in everything except for rebounds and maybe blocks by a tiny margin, and the pistons would get better for a 1 to 1 switch. Letโs not forget that Zion being the 1 with a good team was first seed in the west
