We could see them both on the court with Lebron playing point guard and two outside shooters. That line up could still work for them both on the defensive and offensive end. It's a good opportunity for Howard to show what he's been working on.

Absolutely. It's good to see them both playing at the same time by powering inside the paint. But, if that happens, the team's transition in both offense and defense will slow down a little as they are big men. Anyway, let's just hope for AD's fast recovery. He's vital for the team.

Kuzma and Green with both Howard and McGee will be dependable with LeBron's leadership inside the court. AD can take the rest that he needs as it's a long season to play, having him healthy when the playoffs is approaching is more important than the regular season. The team is full of role players who can step up whenever they needed it.

Lakers competitiveness will be test it will be AD less from the season opener.

This injury happens in preseason and if this is really meant to happen, I think its on a good timing.

according to https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29801/anthony-davis

There's a decent chance AD will skip Monday's preseason game against the Warriors, but as of right now, this appears to be a fairly minor injury.

So there's nothing to worry as it's just a minor injury and its expected that he will be back soon.

They are lucky if ever they will enter the playoffs, with this line up, I can say that its an interesting team but its not enough to be called a championship team, they need to learn first and I am not seeing a great 3 point shooter in the team, of course we have Redick but in terms of consistency, I don't think he will be when the defense is fully focus on him.

This team's strength is more on the inside as that's zion Williams strength, their best player.

And that is the good thing about it.
They have Zion which is like Gianis when he plays. He can absorb the defense to him making Redick shoot freely on the outside.
It is not a two man game. All of them could score including Lonzo and Ingram.
Their roster is almost a complete set. They just need to perfect every plays that will be made for them.
If done right then there is a possibility for them to enter the playoffs.

They really need a veteran with them and Favors could be the answer.

Being in Utah Jazz for many season which is known for their defensive style, he will be a great help to the team but depending on the minutes he will get. Though he has a lot of playoffs experience but IIRC, they high achievement was just to enter in the 2nd round, so I think it's not big at all.

An overhaul to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Zion Williams
Lonzo Ball
Brandon Ingram
Josh Hart
Jrue Holiday
J.J. Redick
Nicolo Melli
Jaxson Hayes

and their new addition. Derrick Favors

For me, it is a strong roster. The problem is these are young guys. Chemistry will be difficult to achieve.
Any thoughts?

I don't think this will be a problem, the more they play together, they will have good chemistry.
Do you see today's match? Pelicans against spurs today. I was surprised by Lonzo giving assist from halfcourt to Zion. that's pretty awesome! these two young men will have a good future in NBA Grin

Its a roster of underrated people but with good chemistry, they can be a good team throughout the whole season. Add also Okafor because he is a good rebounder too.

When you are new to each other there will be problems regarding chemistry but on how they are playing right now, I think they got the chemistry already. They just need to maintain it so they can clinch to the playoffs.

Chemistry indeed is the most difficult factor to obtain coming from a team who have a lot of young bloods. The main reason for that is, they usually dont have the champion mentality. These guys like Ball, Hart, and Ingram are still creating their own spotlight in the NBA. Look at the outcome when these 3 played together in LA , they're like 3-15 without Lebron,
While Zion is a different one. I feel like he will be the next Lebron who carried his team in the 2007 NBA finals.

Williamson is indeed a good player but I don't think he can be the next LeBron with the way he play. Yes he's athletic player but he still needs to prove that to the who NBA that he is not just hype.

Well, of course thats given. He has yet to play an NBA regular season, lets give this kid at least the first 3 years in the NBA. Then, we can judge whether his a legit future hall of famer or just another overrated player.

I will be much surprised if he could carry his team in his first year in the NBA like what Doncic did to the Mavs.

Agreed, to claim someone is going to be the next lebron is unfair to anyone. Lebron is a top all time player. I think zion has a chance to be great but some games have to be played first let him be the first zion. Same goes for people saying he is going to be a bust, there is no way possible to claim that without him player 1 regular season game yet I mean cmon

With the recent news I see Anthony Davis' thumb didn't torn any ligament and is working fine, a MRI was set on Monday just to be sure that there is really nothing serious with the injury. And come on he did walked out of the court with ice on his thumb but I don't believe a sprained thumb could make him be sidelined for over a month, remember that Kobe has dislocated his finger while in a game and the trainer just pop it back in and he still played the rest of the game.

That is different. A sprained thumb has internal damage that's why anyone will feel pain in the affected area. We can't even move their fingers even for an inch because of pain. Recovery can last for 1 to 2 months.

Dislocation of fingers is dangerous but in Kobe's case, luckily it was mild that's why the trainer easily popped it out. If there's an internal damage when he dislocate his finger, he can't came back again to play.

In Davis's case, I don't believed too that he will be sitting for a month since the X-ray result is negative.

Regular season hasn't started yet but not looking good for the Lakers already with AD being possibly sidelined for a month due to a thumb injury. Looks like we will see more of Howard early in the season.

With AD's absence, I guess McGee would be the one to play more not Howard.

Yep but they will still sideline him so that makes him still play games but not to the full extent. It is still an injury even if it is thumb injury. With AD's absence, I guess McGee would be the one to play more not Howard.

All around this team is definitely built for success in the long term, maybe JJ will not be there to see it but in the end this team will be a powerhouse in 5 years if they can keep all of their players.

Don't say that JJ is still young and definitely stay there in the next 5 years Grin

(unless he will be trade). Regarding on Pelicans' future, I also foresee that they will become one of the strongest teams in the future. However, achieving this doesn't only depend on how good the team chemistry they had, it also depends on individual growth. Zion is already making an impressive performance despite of being a rookie. My question is, does Ingram and Ball can step up their game? What do you guys think?

It's a strong roster. I don't think chemistry will be a difficult thing to achieve. You technically have the best passer in the NBA. What's hard is to accept the fact that this team doesn't have a solid center. But when they do, they'll be difficult to battle with.

NOP's future is bright. As long as they can sustain salaries for their players.

Chemistry is definitely an issue in all the new young squads but these are not guys who got here out of nowhere, lonzo+ingram+hart all came from Lakers, so they already know each other, Zion is rookie so wherever he went he would have been new, Jrue is a great leader if you ask me, dude provides all he has on the court ever since he stepped foot in NBA, one of the best hussle guys out there, when he hussles and gives his 100% on court it will be an example to the young players, JJ Reddick has an angel like shooting form so he could help with the players on their shooting which pelicans really needs.

All around this team is definitely built for success in the long term, maybe JJ will not be there to see it but in the end this team will be a powerhouse in 5 years if they can keep all of their players.

That is if they can keep those players.
They dont really have the max contract for now and there is a chance that the team will get broken after this year.

This young guns really needs to prove something now for the expectation to grow and so they will get another contract that will suffice for their chemistry to grow again.
But all in all, I still think they have a better chance to get that 7th or 8th spot for the fight in the playoffs.

Decent line up and could potentially challenge last two spots for the playoffs. They lack the experience but these young guys are hungry to prove to everyone that they truly belong in this league and that makes them dangerous.

Zion is having a good start in pre season and Lonzo seems to be enjoying more which is good for the Pelicians.
I see Redick doing a great job as captain.

It's just pre-season games, so we expect a much competitive matches during regular season which this Zion Williamson wasn't seen yet. I would say, the Pelicans aren't dangerous until they prove they were.

Lonzo, Ingram and Hart this three players who played alongside together can rotate and find the open while Zion is taking his way inside. Give this young guns a good time to work with each other and create a new team to beat. GSW once an unknown team before the s|Splash brothers formed
the champion caliber squad. It's all about how dedicated this players to back each other and find rhythm and good blends when inside the court.
