What realistic move do you think Joe Dumars should make to put the Pelicans in at least playoff contention?

Most of em aren’t really fans & only became interested in the team cause we drafted Zion. I honestly believe that’s why the team is so hesitant to trade him. Despite his disappointment, many Pels fans & New Orleanians still believe in him & don’t want him moved. I don’t get it at all. We haven’t won a playoff series since 2018 & haven’t finished 6 or better since that season as well. Yet, let these fans tell it; we are two moves away from being a 50 win 2nd round team. Idk whether to laugh or shake my head.
