Lonzo Ball is having a career year. You wouldn't know that if you listened to fans of the New Orleans Pelicans...or the media. The Pelicans are failing to meet expectations again this season...and Lonzo Ball is taking most of the blame.

We explain why Lonzo Ball is not the problem in New Orleans...and is one of the few players on this team that plays great defense. It's scary to think about where the Pelicans would be this season without him.

We also explain how the expectations put on this team the last two years have been unfair...and unrealistic. We reveal the real problem with the Pelicans...and how trading Lonzo Ball would contribute to that problem.
