He doing the same thing Kawhi did. This was also written before they went and got Cam Reddish. Cam, Zion, and RJ played together at Duke under coach K. Leon Rose the President of basketball operations and has deep Kentucky and Duke connections as a former agent. Thibs will be gone and fired and they likely get someone else. Similar to Philly, if Doc loses with Embiid and Harden watch Mike D’Antoni suddenly want to start coaching again.

We need a third team, in this trade

I do not want Julius Randle :beli:

Maybe it’s just me but it seems like Zion don’t give a shyt about hooping like that. He don’t strike me as a basketball junkie. Otherwise he would be serious about playing and being professional.

He’s low key wasting his prime years right now because as he gets older his body gonna be broken down.

I agree with that too, proper management is also a big part of this since many of these franchise mismanage things. But it can’t help that we’re in such a brand thirsty clout demon era which drives young players to the bigger markets.

I gotta disagree

The Pelicans are a TOTALLY different organization from the Anthony Davis days

I can take he doesn't want to be in New Orleans

But, our organization is as good as any small market

No, we're not mistake free, but, if Zion doesn't get hurt, or actually came back in December, and played well, we'd be a 5 seed with this squad

Also, these young players don't care about "mismanagement" when it's where they want to be

I'll put the Pelicans last 15 years against the Knicks and take my team

Same agency. Both went to Duke and played under Coach K. Former teammates. A former player who vocally talks about how this generation is the best at basketball criticizing a current player. Has a beef with David Griffin.

JJ has about seven or eight valid reasons to be biased towards Zion and not say this shyt, and he STILL said it. Zion must really be on some bullshyt for real.

They need to give JJ his own show. He’s already providing better insight than most of these clowns who get up there who just say hot takes for a living.

Zion going out like a bytch. It’s one thing to want a trade years after trying to win a championship. But he hasn’t even played a full season. Dude is still under a rookie contract. And yet people were giving AD shyt for requesting a trade even though he played 7-8 seasons and took them to the playoffs.


Nothing wrong with player empowerment but no player in his situation should be moving like this. You can’t compare this situation to any other because who was the last player to turn down a star rookie extension? This is a unique situation.


A JJ Reddikk and Tim Leger show segment would be crazy nice
