Zion is not Happy with the Pelicans. Family would like to see him on another team.

[Professor Emeritus]

its that dude lebron fault. ruined the nba

Wilt forced his way off the Warriors after 4 years.

Kareem forced his way off the Bucks after 4 years.

Magic said he'd stay in school another year if the Bulls got the pick cause he didn't want to play for them.

Webber forced his way off the Warriors after just 1 year.

Shaq left Orlando after 4 years.

Kobe's agent told teams that he wasn't gonna play for anyone other than LA.

Marbury forced his way out of Minny after 2 years.

Boozer lied to the owner so he could duck out of Cleveland after just 2 years.

Charles Barkley, Vince Carter, Baron Davis, Shaquille O'Neal, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Paul George, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Russ Westbrook, and James Harden have all forced trades before their contracts were up. And I ain't even counting the "amicable" ones like Drexler, Mourning, Ray Allen (both times), Garnett, Carmelo, etc.

But LeBron, who finished two contracts with Cleveland and gave them the first 7 years of his career, who has never forced a trade and played out every contract for the team he signed them with, is supposedly the reason that players don't keep their deals. Right.

I swear some of y'all wouldn't even know how to talk basketball if Bron didn't exist.

Whelp he's stuck there til at least 2023 that's when his rookie contract is up and besides it's only been two years and not even two full years yet.

 

[FS4LFE]

Once again family sticking they nose into a business they have no say in

but that’s the problem once the league started pandering to LeBron and from now on, you going to see dads, moms, uncles and brothers asking teams for a cut so they son will stay

How is the league pandering to LeBron? These are grown ass men making their own decisions.

 

[GPBear]

They’re the Pelicans of course he wants out; why are any of y’all surprised


Bro got left with Lonzo ball and Brandon Ingram

Report: Pelicans Viewed as NBA Team Most Likely to Seek Relocation

The team's lease in New Orleans only runs through 2024. Hollinger noted Pelicans governor Gayle Benson is "deeply connected to New Orleans and not currently seeking to sell, but losing money while finishing in the lottery has not been an enjoyable side venture to the main business of running the Saints."

I thought this New Generation wasnt about Running From The Grind?

He's a #1 pick who has barely put in a year, when is a #1 pick ever drafted by a contender?

The year he came in, Ingram was an All-Star, they got Bledsoe who was All-Defensive and a #3 option on an ECF team, Adams was a decent starter on a WCF team, and Lonzo who actually started to look like a solid all-around PG this year. That's not a bad starting lineup for a #1 pick. Their issue is that they all (including Zion) have big weaknesses and they can't figure out how to make it work together.

 

[SAJ!!]

Some people like myself believe that Silver handed Zion to the Pelicans for losing AD to the Lakers. Exactly how they got gifted AD for losing CP3.

Stern set the precedent for gifting the Cavs the No 1 pick in 2011, 2013 and 2014 for them losing Bron to the Heat.

 

[NormanConnors]

First Luka and now this. Trae got all the young stars ready to play with him

@staticshock @Rickdogg44 @AVXL @#1 pick @Steezy

Trae and Zion would be a deadly combination

That starts with the front office tho , which clearly doesn't have it together

 

[3:30]

His family trying to maximize right now is just the smartest play .. barring injury or not

no time like the present

 

[Ozymandeas]

its happened before

This is a good example. Back then I bet Chris Webber was thinking Golden State was an absolute sh*thole backwater team. Now it’s one of the most highly valued sports franchises and a destination spot. Zion could do that for New Orleans. Him, Zo and Ingram are just a “Chris Paul and a few veterans” away from a deep playoff run. New Orleans has the French Quarter, Bourbon St., clubs, restaurants, bars. History, culture, scenery, museums. WTF wouldn’t want to play there? Acting like it’s an ass city to be at when black people, tourists and college kids go there every year specifically to get fukked up

Would this be considered ETHER?




Feels mad etheroneous!

 

[Hey_zeus]

Sliver should've gave the pick to the Lakers.
