Next CBA gonna be a bloodbath... man out here ruining the money for future stars


You know this was said when players didn't sign a extension ven when they was a free agent



That didn't hurt them at all

But I get it


Zion don't seem to want to be there


Even of he did the 7 years alot of people would be Passed he didn't stay


You can't force a player to like a place

He’s on the fukkin Pelicans. AD, Chris Paul, all those dudes were just biding their time. Doesn’t make sense to dedicate yourself to a franchise that doesn’t gaf about its players long term health. We watched Davis sit out for damn near an entire season. Why risk injury.

What the hell does any of this mean? :dahell:

And even that excuse with Simmons doesn't fly because Embiid defended him for years during interviews when everyone was trying to throw him on the bus. Even Doc was trying to help out Simmons by bringing up Rondo and his shooting deficiencies. One is/was just as coddled as the other.



I still believe it was more done and said behind the scenes with that situation

CJ basically said the same thing during his tnt interview they asked him about if a certain player reached out and he said nope.
He even tried covering it up by saying he was in contact with someone from Zion’s ‘camp’ which honestly made it sound worse tbh, and it was obvious he was trying to cover up the situation. Zion has wanted out from NO since day one. The Pels didn’t even know he had surgery late summer, how is that possible?

I don't co-sign how zion moving but chances are he and his agent let the pelicans know before the draft that he did not want to be there and they went ahead and drafted him anyway,which is their right.
Now both sides have to deal with a negative outcome.

And we're dumb for not reading the tea leafs.

Apparently the Pelicans want to shut him down and just get the 2nd surgery, but, "his team" wants more treatment.

They're trying to protect his image and don't want him to look "broken." I'm sick of this "fans ask for too much." It took this nikka being called out by two teammates to post another funky ass story on IG.

You can't be in Portland, not around the team and not even acknowledge your team's existence DURING THE SEASON and fans not to worry.

It’s ridiculous, I’m surprised it’s not talked about more but I guess the Ben & Kyrie media attention helped keep it more lowkey. I mean what do his teammates think of him? He hasn’t been with the team all season. A month or so before the season the Pels announced they were hopeful he would be ready for the start of the regular season, it’s almost March now



I seriously wonder how many times he’s even talked to Willie this season, I bet it’s a few times at most, if not at all. And if they have communicated I bet it’s through his ‘camp’
