Zion Williamson’s Life is About to Change

- The Pelicans have a huge offseason coming up. Their front office guy David Griffin promised major changes. That means Zion’s life is about to change and this is a look at what New Orleans might do this summer to finally become a real contender.
I pray that Zion can stay healthy next season, but my patience is very thin right now.
zion needs to get it together before oladipupoajani steps in.
only if zion can be as thin as your patience...
Not as thin as zion
Most likely no. I can't bank on this ever happening like ever. Everyone blames Ingram. Remember few years ago. Ingram and McCollum led Pels to playoffs without Zion. Pels better off without Zion.
@@wockmeisteroh no 😳 gonna be bad 😂
Zion is gonna be a superstar never seen nothing like him at that size and speed and atheism...Give him a point guard and he's gonna be averaging 27 and better next season
Ant Man absolutely took over the spotlight from this dude
Is that a real comment? Zion never had spotlight. Ja Morant took what spotlight he was supposed to have almost immediately.
Zion dominated the lakers and led the pels to the playoffs poor ja was on his couch
Never. The NBA has a hardon for big men. If Wemby ever hits any type of success or good plays, you're gonna see everyone jerking themselves off over him.
Mark my words.
@@nathanbenson9166bro Zion did not dominate the lakers lmao 🤣 the only thing Zion dominates is a box of donuts
Did you not see he dropped 40 and could of dropped 50 and won if he didn’t get hurt
Zion is a hell of a player, but unfortunately he has been plagued with injuries mainly due to his weight. I hope he can stay healthy next season.
Gotta stop impersonating the Hamburgler!
And it’s his fault hes that weight
It's not injuries it is not conditioning.
How about his rebounds? He should average 12. He averaged 6.
🤡🤡🤡he’s played 70 games you bum
Definitely not because of the weight. It's because he sprained his ankle very badly in college, the year before he was drafted and it never healed 100% yet as we can see
He can join kawai and form a super team for cancun
CJ is a shooting guard, not a point guard. His time in Portland cemented that role for him.
A full season of a healthy Zion and solid supporting cast would be interesting to say the least
How many more seasons will we say this before admitting it's not realistic
@@juliansmith4153that’s what I was gonna say. “Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”
If U watched Pels games, it was literally this season, everyone was healthy until the last 10 games, and we choked
Wdym a solid supporting cast the current pelicans are an actual elite supporting cast it’s just Zion’s always fuckkn injured
Zion played 70 games this year. That makes it realistic
The hype died for Zion
Literally 4 years ago
@@austinolson265nah it died this year last year he was awesome
@@pubert19 what did they actually accomplish last season?? Nothing really exciting
@@austinolson265 yeah because of injury. The hype was still there especially when Zion was playing
@@pubert19 sounds like this year huh?
I wouldn't trade Zion. This year he's working his ass off, I would definitely get rid of Ingram and McCallum.
Has this dude ever been correct with these trade predictions?
always was
Zion needs that Steph Curry Subway sponsor
😂
You funny😂
Yeah, he can replace the prison guy Jared
whole wheat foot long, extra spinach no cheese
Lol naw that's crazy
What yall basketball UA-camrs have to understand is you can build a big audience with the shock inducing headlines or alarmist statements, but eventually people get tired of that. Just analyze things straight up without being so crazy
Less is more … and better
You must be a Zion fan
@@thecardking_7792he’s not wrong though
Found the crybaby Zion fan
I agree dude. I don’t even watch these hype videos I just come over and read the comments to see what’s going on then move on. Usually it’s nothing noteworthy and not worth 10 minutes of my time. That AlexNBA kid (the Aussie) does it right. Check him out. He just does quick clips and no click bait. Prob the best for it. Goat is good too for the weekly summaries.
Zion and Trae could be one of the leagues best duos
What!?!? Don’t do that to Trae
lol absolutely not
yeah agree. best in not playing defense lol
Bro do not cook. You burning the food. We should trade BI and CJ and try to get a better guard and big man.
Yeah, Trae needs a injury-prone big man with fucked up legs and problems with his weight... 😂
Chuck and Shaq's baby is definitely built different yet not in the way he thinks
Great insight bro! Really liked the vid.
I really like that Trae Young and Ingram trade for both parties especially the pelicans
I’m a late 60’s guy. Always hooped. Still shoot 4-5 times a week.
I deem myself a person that knows basketball very well.
Recently came across your videos. You do a very good job with your takes.
The NBA for me has been tougher and tougher to watch.
I see very poor defense. To many threes. Lack of passing. Lack of effort.
But I do see things changing now. The old guard is falling off and the new guard coming in seems to play more to my taste.
I see good things at Minnesota, OKC , and I think in two years San Antonio rise back up.
Just my take. I know not much related to the video. But I’m now subscribed.
Thanks William! I appreciate that 🙏🏼
Who is your GOAT?
@@aki12569 Good question. But all things considered I’ll go with Jordan. But when you use different criteria there’s a few players one could choose from I think. Many greats have left their mark in various eras.
Thought i was only one who can barely watch NBA. I watch the highlights. Im in n my 60s. Watched Magic a& Bird bring the game to live TV literally , Isaiah ,Jordan, Dr. J ( my all time fave) Shaq etc. Every player thinking they can hit 3 point has killed the game.
Not poor defense - it’s incredible offenses designed to pick a typical defense apart and score at a higher rate and efficiency with 3-pointers. The 90s saw 3pt specialists for the first time, and the game evolved to even bigs spreading the court. Two people don’t go to the low post on every possession anymore. The game has evolved and is more complicated. Keep up man, I’m 40, it’s not that hard.
I wasnt keen on Trey Young when i 1st heard the news but the more i think about it Zion and Young could work well together.
Zion and Young would be HYSTERICAL to watch, right up there with the pairing of KD and Kyrie - All of the talent in the world can't fix what's wrong with those two and you want to team them up together?!? If that were to happen, I'd actually watch NOLA games... might even have watch parties!
The big IF is if Zion can actually stay healthy for a season or seasons to come. He's young and has shown that he can be a beast on the floor. But obviously inactivity is what's hurting him and the team. As a Hawks fan I'm not down to have DJ or Trae traded to the Pelicans. But, I do wish the Pelicans the best.
I agree. If we can acquire BI without giving up one of the guards, then we’ll have made some progress in the right direction I think. But it’s hard to see if any team will help the Hawks facilitate a trade without one of those guys.
A.M. Hoops has been my fav dude to listen to for quite a while. What's it been? 4 or 5 years? Anyway, keep it up, my dude. Wish he did more longer form content!
4 years…crazy
Don't call him superstar when he can't show up properly in the playoffs once. I don't count play-in tournament.
Casey, your life changed when you went to "The Party" in the hills. Your channel grew tremendously.
I don’t get it
@@AMHoops you sure? I know how it all works.
Wouldn't the Pels want a center that can stretch the floor ? I feel like spacing was an issue with Zion on the floor and getting Allen wouldn't solve anything.
I don't know how far you can get with only three shooters on the floor. And more shooters around Zion would certainly be good because of his gravity in the paint.
Yeah but who is trading a stretch big who is also a good rim protector
@@xstupdwhale252 I don't know, I get that they may want to get a good replacement for Valanciunas if he leaves. Maybe using your assets on a good PG might be more impactful than on a good rim runner. They still need a center but maybe shouldn't use too many assets on one, especially if it isn't a very big upgrade like another rim runner.
McCollum is one of the only starting point guards in the league I know that can’t crack 5 asts a game
Casey i love ur vids and appreiciate the 3 vids a week. Could u do a vid about SAC soon and any trades they could make?
I wish Cavs could take off with JA still on there, love that guy
CJ McCollum.... AKA "Tobias Harris" of the West !!!!
Still tho that’s a great trade but there defenseifve guys are gonna have to step up aswell maybe a good year from Jordan Hawkins aswell will be tufff in the playoffs
watching the pels vs lakers there was a night and day difference between the jose alvarado minutes and cj mcollum minutes just imagine them if they added someone like tyus jones or even try and make a splash and replace cj with dejounte murray cause the pels still have a ton of trade assets
A Charlotte ATL trade makes a lot of sense, they both get to switch up their line ups while still maintaining roster talent.
I hope the Pels go after Markkanen.
It's not just his weight but his work and determination which can control the weight. Also seems to refuse to work on his jumper. Now the injuries are just unfortunate. He won't be the superstar many thought but still could have a great career.
Warriors need some help! Send him there!
Nice analysis, sir. Sure hope my Spurs don't get desperate and trade for Trae Young. The Pels can have him b/c a Zion-Young team is not getting past VW and whatever better team the Spurs surround him with in 24-25.
Zion is a walking injury waiting to happen. I bet Pels fans hold their breath whenever he gets the ball. Not so with Spurs fans and a 7'5" 220 pound future GOAT.
Facts I’m hoping for Lauri markkanen with nikola topic
both meetings pels and spurs had pels were weakened and still held up they would body yall if they full healthy
Casey you have effectively riled up the fans in Atlanta hoping they make some kind of move. And the trades make a ton of sense. Only downside is how the Hawks’ front office will fumble everything, end up with nothing, and the owner continuing to try to cheap out on paying guys. Love your stuff bro!
Only question is: Will the Spurs shake down the Hawks (again) in the offseason?
@@TheMilitiaGuy nah no reason to. The Hawks only have this year to drastically improve the team. They did the necessary thing by extending DeJounte and not losing him for nothing. But the Hawks have to be a playoff team for the next 3 years in order for them to not look like the dumbest team in the league.
We shall see!
@@A_T88 The Hawks have already proven to be stupid with the Murray trade. They got desperate and made a mistake.
@@A_T88the hawks will be in the lottery again next year probably in the 7-14 range
Did bro see my comment and is now almost uploading every day😂
Hey what happened to the podcast version?
That Hawks / Pels trade makes so much sense
Which one, for Murray or Trae?
@@jerrychacko2661I don’t think the one for Trae makes sense unless they also trade CJ. Two undersized guards isn’t going to work.
@@Austin-l1jtrade bi for dj and trade cj for someone else
what happened to your spotify podcast bro
Do you think Zion Williamson would be in trade rumors right now had he not sign that rookie extension? I'm just wondering how many times the Pelicans management is willing to run it back when the same thing seems to happen every year with Zion's health. It just seems that every time the Pelicans get good, something happens to Zion that derails their momentum, and their season suffers because of it. With Victor Wembamyama winning ROTY, the eyes aren't on Zion anymore, he's been in the league for 5 years now and still hasn't lived up to what he was projected to be. No one should be surprised if his name shows up in trade rumors.
Zion is literally only 14 months older than Anthony Edwards and is just now getting his mental side of the game adequate, there is no reason for the pels to trade the only chance at a ring they got.
@@DMkizzyagreed
That Hawks trade would be a win win, I think its a no brainer
What would the Raps have to give up to pair Zion and RJ (assuming Scottie off the table)?
As a Hawks fan, The Pels should include Herb Jones in a trade package for Dejounte. It's a win-win for both teams
Hell nah Herb isn’t going anywhere
It’s The 304 lifestyle
Would love to see CSU's Isaiah Stevens go to the pels. Great, pass first point guard who led the NCAA in assists and still scoring efficiently.
Just a wild thought, but what would the Pelicans look like with Zion at the point? Other teams have to build a wall to keep him out of the paint, which leaves someone on the wing open. Zion MUST develop an outside shot, even if it's just a mid-range, and not a 3 point shot. I think Zion has a better chance of improving his outside shots than Giannis, but it will take time, and it he wants to stay in the league longer and not end up like Blake Griffin, he has to develop his game with new moves and better shooting, because that bounce at his weight isn't going to last into his thirties. It would be nice to see him stay healthy for an entire season and the playoffs, because if he can't, then he just isn't worth a max contract.
I think adding Jarret Allen for Bi is the best possible move we could do. Additionally we should get ourself a pg like tyus jones or do like a 3 team trade in which we trade for Dejounte Murray and use cj as main piece
The zion hype was crazy. He owned ESPN
A 2 Center approach doesn't work? Someone tell that to the Timberwolves who are killing the competition playing Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony Towns at the same time lol. Sure Kat can play multiple positions.....now. But that's besides the point lol
💥Zion needs a wake-up call.
The Pelicans need to trade him
Austin Rivers was definitely thinking ab Zion when he said what he said 😂
Great video bro love your videos
shut up it just got uploaded
@@timmyarbusto blud is mad over a yt comment🤣
@@TeodorHolmberg-j8s teodore go back to your cave
Appreciate it!
@@AMHoops :DDDDDDD you the goat
To be honest I want to hear from Zion when it comes to trades it’s his team what’s the point in trading based on what Bi said. The team needs to be built around Zion could adding a Trae help or hurt Zion development because I don’t think Zion fits a traditional big man role he needs touches to be fully utilized. If pick and roll is the point of the trade any shooter can do that I think we add a better big that can space to open the paint a bit and try to find another 3pt threat pelicans problem has always been threes that’s how they lose most games.
Give the team to the guy who missed both post season runs and is constantly injured. Makes sense.
@@patricklewis2199 Who you gunna give the keys too no star wants to be here bro its best to believe in him rather then trading him and watching him win a title like jrue and anthony did hes a great player that could when healthy be a top scorer in the league.
@@jarlo1147I’d trade Brandon Ingram for dejountey Murray and then trade cj for someone else
As a Pels lifer, this off season has to have changes....🏀🇬🇧
why did you hand gesture 2 that way?
I like the Cavs trade scenario. Even if it doesn't happen, which it likely won't, the Pelicans can still have Niang for free.
Just stopping by to say I did my first underdog bet and won $86 not bad for my first go
Need a porzingis type of stretch big to pair with zion to stretch the floor
That Hawks Pelicans trade produces two excellent play-in teams.
Hawks get bi pels get dj is a better trade for both teams
HERE WE GO AGAIN!! IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS OF THIS GUY’S CAREER. I LOVE Z, BUT THAT KIND OF BODY WILL NEVER LAST A SINGLE SEASON. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN!!!
zion to the warriors
Zion in NY? Or Philly
I’m 6’4” 240 lbs. I jump rope 2 hours a week. My weight impacts my injury time immensely
That trade for the Hawks could help both teams.
will the bots ever go away?
Nope 🤦🏽♂️
i'm a hawks fan and i'd rather keep Murray and get rid or Trae
Trae is ass cheeks
Imagine Zion with Ant Man’s mentality that would be crazy.
Zion is a beast but now it's time to move him to NY for good.
I suggest trade BI + a few other players for Zach Lavine of the Bulls - BI would be a beast in Chicago with DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vevecvic!
So true - Pels front office have a challenging off-season ahead to put it lightly. Lol maybe I'm too anti-Trae but...damn it's hard for me to see Trae Young alone being worth Brandon Ingram, Larry Nance jr AND 1st rounders🤣
BI showed his true colors in the playoffs. Jealousy clearly all over his face and play, that's why he did not one offer on the trading block.
As a Cavs fan, idm this, he needs to play defense tho. I want him or Mikal Bridges
You assume the Cavs would take BI in a trade for 2 valued players. Why?
If Zion was to ever be a knick, they’d actually be the scary ash
Nice burn on the Bucks there :)
Pelicans need trade Zion Williamson & Brandon Ingram this coming off-season 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
What’s ignored here is this is a good move for Zion. Cp3 and AD gave them hall of fame production and got nothing in return.
Zion will take care of himself when he's on the Knicks
THE HAWKS DEJOUNTE TRADE WAS THE BEST TRADE DO IT. LET DEJOUNTE PLAY HIS USUAL ROLE AT PG
I would nurse Zion to healthy and trade him ASAP while healthy for a hefty bunch-load of new young talents. He has proven to brake down all the time and this is not going to change. His body-movement and how it is built are the problems, no matter what he does in the future. He has explosive play-style, X-legs and too much muscle on them - they just won't last.
This Pels team makes me sad
Zion to Knicks.Mark my words
I swear guarding ja morant on 2k is hell
Olympic roster spot plz
He needs to be in college shape to be able to perform. PERIOD!
Zion and 12 should just play again
Go pels ❤
Terrible deal for the cavs. BI would have the same issue in Cleveland bc spider and garland are not pass first players. The cavs need allen because he and Mobley clean up. Also porter is the future if spider leaves at the end of next year.
Team has a lot of potential.. big fan of Trey and Herb. They had an awkward position with Jonas/Nance, Jonas is a liability against certain teams.
He don't need to be traded
Zion=Knicks!
We dont want him
It made sense when rj was there because of there history but not anymore
You guys will be stuck with 7 man rotations indefinitely if that happens lol
Knicks don't want him wtf
Zion on ozempic in the off season
Do a clippers vid next
The NBA should implement team relegation like they have in the English Premier League, so the players/teams face dropping to the G-League if they aren't performing as well as the vice versa it gives G-League players that incentive that they may be able to earn their way into the NBA
Well that's a relief that LeBron doesn't have NO as a trade team.
Unless the Cavs pull the impossible, that trade won't happen because Mitchell will be leaving. Anyway, I prefer the Hawks for the Pels.
And people believed LA lost the AD trade 😂😂
The Murray deal is better than the Young deal. They would be absolutely insane to put Young and Zion together. The locker room and off the court drama would explode into an absolute nightmare. Would it be Young's team or Zion's team because they would both be demanding that answer immediately. They need a true leader and high level defender because the defense is already horrible and if they add Young they will be way worse and a last place Defense doesn't win championships.
OMG PELICANS WILL IMPLOTE
