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

lol I’m usually cool with player empowerment, but Zion hasn’t even played 100 games yet. Not even legally allowed to drink yet.


This is a bad look.


I really fukk with Devin Booker for sticking through all the losses with Phoenix.

He never wanted to be in New Orleans to begin with. He wants a big market for his brand.

fukk what he wants, he hasn’t even played a full season yet and he can’t stay healthy for shyt. Be in shape and stay healthy before you start throwing your weight around, no pun intended.
You’re an analog dumb ass fan

Sound like Vinny in Massapequa with this bullshyt

Markets don’t matter in the NBA. Look at Giannis. He isn’t as marketable as Zion because he isn’t American and his English isn’t 100%. Yet he’s got commercials and billboards and all of that. The city that he plays in doesn’t matter anymore.

Drose got an MVP vote because he plays for the Knicks

Way too early in his career for this but at the same time what is David Griffin doing over there? The Van Gundy hire was terrible. Should've just stuck with Gentry

This is why its hard for some to get into the NBA. Small market fans feel like they have no chance. The media will pounce on any superstar wanting to leave a market EVERY OFFSEASON. It's not fun. You don't have to worry about that in the NFL.

With that said...

Our franchise deserves this. It's not like we don't know how the NBA works, we were just victims of it with CP3 and AD. You have to win and win fast. Is it unfair? Yes. But is it reality? Yes.

Three coaches for Zion in three years is not a good look no matter how much some fans want to put lipstick on a pig. Us not making the playoffs the last two years I'm actually fine with. Zion's family is silly to think we can go from the #1 pick to a major contender in two years. But I always argued the franchise atleast needs to show substantial growth. And while we've shown flashes, we haven't shown anything substantial. Can't make a play in tournament, sign Derrick Favors and let him go, sign Eric Bledsode, sign Steven Adams...all bad fits. Have a bunch of young players and are inconsistent with playing them. So at times not only were we bad, but we were bad without giving our young guys run.

This franchise just can't get right. They remind me of the Saints. The Saints were just as bad before God finally blessed us with Payton and Brees. Then we finally became a franchise with a standard of winning. I hope the Pelicans get lucky like that one day but it seems we are allergic to any type of luck except that of the draft lottery.

David Griffin has to get it right this offseason. No more bullshyt. No more snake oil salesman sales pitches. Win some fukking games.
