It wasn't technically a max rookie extension though as there wasn't restricted free agency from 95-98. That's how he was easily able to leave as a free agent.
Zion is not Happy with the Pelicans. Family would like to see him on another team.

He's not turning down $150+ million dollars with long term knee concerns.

Right, I forgot the whole circumstances
I'm honestly starting to wonder is this a ploy by Zion's camp to get Griffin fired.
Also if this means that we are going to give Lonzo a big contract because BI and Zion like him then
Giving Lonzo a big contract is the right move.
Don't leave yet, Kidd should be here soon
I was too young at the time to remember the exact circumstances of why exactly they tried to lowball him, but that's why his circumstances were different compared to other players of today.
Could be. I’m not denying griff hasn’t done the best job so far especially with the coaches. But even if Griff was making all the right moves NO wouldn’t have all the right pieces around Zion. It takes a few years to figure out the type of pieces they need around him in the first place. NO should have more time

Gotta learn to shoot before making these demands
I agree. Even then though, there's no excuse why they shouldn't have been in the play-in tournament last season with as many 4th quarter leads that they blew. Even Memphis blew nearly as many leads, yet they still found a way to make the 8th seed.
Where Griffin fukked up at is that he started throwing everyone else under the bus to deflect blame from the decisions that he's made with the roster. I first noticed it with the Zion injury when he blamed the league for it when it didn't even happen like he tried to portray lol.
The one thing that he had working in his favor is that the owner doesn't know the hell she's doing and is too concerned with what's going on with the Saints to focus on what he's doing. Now Benson has no other choice but to pay attention to his dealing because of this hitpiece.
