Let them find their roles in the team and develop together. You all have no patience. NAW is 22, Lonzo 23, Kira 19, Hayes 20. I mean compare it to some of these teams who are still in rebuilds. Take Chicago for example, they are barely a playoff team and have 27 year old Zach Lavine.
Pelicans have a lot of time to grow, and the expectations for this team are far too high. The expectation for this team from even before the season should've been a low playoff seed or play-in seed. They're not reaching that yet, but there's still time. Just be happy your investment is dropping 40 on better efficiency than Shaq for now. Be glad he's not 100 pounds overweight like everyone said he was last year.

It’s a chemistry issue.
Many, like myself, are frustrated because they see the generational ability of Zion being somewhat squandered by poor fitting pieces.
BI is a great player, but he’s not the best sidekick for Zion. Half the problem is he doesn’t realize that he’s the sidekick.
Pels need shooters or a PG who is a legitimate offensive threat that runs the pick and roll with Z. Ingram is the only asset that is able to give NO pieces that could actually put them in contention.
I hope their youth pans out, and I actually like Lonzo as a complementary piece, but they really should see what they are able to obtain for BI. Their current configuration simply isn’t optimizing the biggest offensive weapon they have.
