I know I’ve been told I can’t officially call Zion a bust yet but when will I be able to? 1 or 2 more seasons?

Zion wilding. Man could be the king. The king of kings. In a black city at that.
Is a Devonte graham and cj backcourt gonna help him become the king ? Back to back to back years they traded their best defensive players Jrue zo and hart All they got left is herb the rookie playing defense . Trash org trash coaches
One of the worst defenses in the nba get that guy out of there .

Always Disabled wanted out too. I don’t see Nola as being a good city to live in long term.Especially when you have other optionsZion wilding. Man could be the king. The king of kings. In a black city at that.

They won't, but they should look to move the Pelicans. Tough sell in that market.

Zion's just not invested there. It's obvious. He hasn't ever been invested there from the day he was drafted.
If I'm them, I'm looking to trade him as soon as he's healthy and can pass a physical.

Pelicans game I went to was super lit though. Never seen so many Black fans at a NBA game. Plus the homie freddi fig rip enjoys their games.

I'm on Nola.com's sports page and the Pelicans are the fourth highlighted team as I scroll down after the Saints, LSU and freaking Tulane.

Why won’t they? New Orleans can’t survive losing two number one picks in a decade.
The NBA can’t go forward with the team in Louisiana if Zion leaves. It’s a wrap for them.
Ship the Pelicans to a BASKETBALL city.
Seattle is ready.

A lot of these kids were pampered and had their career in their control since day one. They got to choose the college they want to play for, so when you lose all that control and get drafted by a team you don’t want to play for, reality hits fast.
New generation wants everything handed to them. They got more power than they think though so Zion could easily bounce outta there.

Gayle Benson (team owner) seems fully invested in keeping the team in the city.

Zion is a unique athlete and has a ton of talent, but his injury history would scare the hell out of me if I was an NBA team thinking about making him the cornerstone of the franchise.

It’s embarrassing.
I think LSU even comes before the Saints.

Are they going to suddenly morph into a good franchise by just changing zip codes?

I think I did read the Pelicans' lease ends in two years. I could be wrong though.

Sounds like it doesn’t matter to him if he’s checked out. I don’t even blame the org. Sure they could be better. Dude doesn’t want to be there. That’s on him.
Running from the grind.
