Bucks Win Championship Without Head Coach [NBA]

This NBA season has been, well, rather to form so far.
In the West, the Lakers got Anthony Davis, caused Dwight Howard to become sane, and have raced out to the best record in the conference. The Clippers have been similarly good, the Mavericks and Grizzlies have been pleasant surprises, and we are already wondering if the Warriors will prove that Andrew Wiggins is "actually good" (spoilers: he's not).
In the East, the Bucks have become even more terrifying, the Raptors have currently won 15 straight and look like title contenders after losing Kawhi, and the Sixers are doing Sixers things, which is as good or bad as you believe it to be.
It's about to be the All-Star break, which is changing the format to honor the recently-deceased Kobe Bryant, and features a ton of new young All-Stars like Luka Doncic, Trae Young, and Brandon Ingram. Also our lord and savior Dame Lillard will be there and will probably score 1000 points just because Russell Westbrook is in his immediate vicinity.

Please consolidate those players to two teams, NBA. One team for Zion and the Dallas Cowboys for the rest
Thanks in advance
Too many of those giant, white dudes.
You wound me because I know you mean the Plumlees
Tyler Hansbrough is a treasure
Even if the Hansbroughs aren’t Dookies
Miles, Mason, the other one, Tyler, etc
He is white as hell though
The third Plumlee is Murfreesboro
embiid ended marcus morris' life tonight

Old Deadspin article so go ahead and click
like, i'm a random moron and it was easy to me to see that his game would translate and that he was going to be good as hell.
It was literally "Well he can jump more better, much more important than literally every other basketball skill or trait"
Actually earlier today! I was looking at some of my cards and came across one of his and remembered I got $50 for a rookie card of his early last year.
Luke Walton to Luka Doncic - "Do me a favor, give a ref your autograph after the game. He's a fan"
He's on my Young Guns (And Harrison Barnes) Sacramento team for one of my NBA Live 19 characters
He's at his best when the team outpaces him so he's drawn the poor center guarding him completely out of the play
Luka no question
For every “look at the names of players who have put up stats x,y,z by age 20” list Zion is on, Luka has created 10 more new lists that only have his name on them
Ayton is actually pretty good!
But pretty good is still only 1/3 as good as Luka and 3/4 as good as Trae
But he’s missed a lot of games and is kind of a dipshit
So I guess I choose Luka as the superior prospect, somehow.
I hope that continues to be a mainstay in his arsenal
Also, environment. At the moment I don't put too much stock into him developing into a player that can be great for the next 2 decades, simply because of the franchise he is at. And I am saying that as a Hornets/Pelicans fan for nearly 30 years. Right now his ceiling is being on the highlight reel for a few years before he inevitably goes to another franchise, where he might or might not develop more.
Doncic might as well be the next Dirk in terms of longevity and staying with the same franchise.
Zion is a young man player. He plays with the athleticism of youth and as that starts to fade, whether from age or injury, it'll be interesting to see if his game can evolve or not.
Like Zion could be an all-timer but I think Luka has a chance at GOAT
The Pelicans could have an all Duke starting lineup.
Frank Jackson - PG
JJ Reddick - SG
Brandon Ingram - SF
Zion Williamson - PF
Jahlil Okafor - C
Trae is a really really bad defender. Trae averages 10 more points and almost 5 more assists than Collin Sexton but the Hawks only have one more win than the Cavs who are truly awful.
This is why the Pelicans should trade Zion for Seth Curry!
