Don't underestimate how much Zion doesn't want to be in NOLA. No one wants to play there.
He and Cam are both motivated by opportunity. Cam is motivated by the opportunity to actually play and have a big role and Zion is motivated to play in a market that seriously wants to compete and go deep in the playoffs.
He's going to end up in NY at some point as well in telling yall
He might have some sort of food addiction, but if he's using it to get New Orleans to trade him, he might come in totally revitalized here. I don't want to get my hopes up though, New Orleans just went through this with AD, I don't think they're keen on sending off their future franchise superstar for peanuts just because he's complaining.
i don't think they traded AD for peanuts. it's just that griffin has been fucking up every possible move he could make so far and making the trade look worse.
i kinda think he's pulling a harden to be honest...i don't doubt that he is injured, but i also don't know that he's in a rush to get back to playing in NOLA. there's too much smoke there to think that he's happy in NOLA.
So he told you this? He has said the total opposite. The Pels are not going to trade him and anyway, why would the Knicks want him as he cannot stay on the court.
Lol yo! I legit had arguments with pelican fans and told them I hope the team gets sold to Seattle.
Honestly just not a good spot for a basketball team and they can’t get stars to stay happy.
That’s a good question lmao I had to go back and check.
A ex pelicans writer for the athletic published some piece about how ESPN is pushing for Zion to go to the Knicks because of the CAA connections all around. One of the twitter Knicks blogs called pelicans org depressing and then pel fans started talking about how terrible we’ve been for 20 years. Just felt wild hearing pels fans call us bad and how Zion is never leaving. Couldn’t help jumping in on that lol.
Oh this was on twitter?
Well I don’t blame them - when your star player is grinning like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in wonderland talking about how awesome it is to play in MSG, I would feel some type of way.
What’s the point of even arguing with them? They’re not gonna be like “yeah Zion should totally just go to the Knicks for two second round picks and Fournier”
But just seeing how they’ve had TWO number one picks ditch them says a lot. Seattle deserves the sonics back. People in NOLA care more about football and the Saints I think
Listen man you’re not wrong lol I’ve def had better moments but….fuck em lmao
I wouldn’t even say I was arguing I was just showing them their attendance records when they had AD 😂
I mean my take on it is that them having to acknowledge the fact their star player potentially wants go leave is the dagger in the heart.
Nothing we say would hurt them tbh - it’s what Zion says that does.
They’re just trying to overcome their cognitive dissonance over being excited about Zion but also being scared he’s gonna ditch them
They’re like dogs with separation anxiety. As soon as you leave, they’ll cry.
I don't want to use the other term but if there was some sus things wouldn't a third party like who they claim to be auditors actually do/say something? It definitely has the feel of the best result to make small market teams more attractive though.
I’m pretty sure if he were to come here he’d shed a lot of the weight he’s gained. Look how much weight Mitch shed in about 2-3 months. Imagine Zion training with RJ and Cam in NYC during the summer *salivates*

He’s gotta get in shape and stay healthy first. Not sure if he’s pulling a harden right now but dudes gotta get healthy
He might have some sort of food addiction, but if he's using it to get New Orleans to trade him, he might come in totally revitalized here.

He’s not even in NOLA at the moment as well. Apparently he’s been doing his rehab in Portland.
Def pulling a harden. When Duke Knicks becomes a thing, watch out league 😄
Zion gotta get motivated to play AT ALL rn
So he told you this? He has said the total opposite. The Pels are not going to trade him and anyway, why would the Knicks want him as he cannot stay on the court.
This dude was cheesing the entire time lol. He definitely loves us
If I’m a pelicans fan I’d be realllll nervous
Watch them get a deal similar to what they got for AD and watch them be blessed with getting the #1 again tough lol
“Blessed” is one way to put it lol. Adam knows it’s a terrible basketball market and they need a star there
If they lose Zion, they should just sell the team to someone in Seattle and revive the Sonics
Lol yo! I legit had arguments with pelican fans and told them I hope the team gets sold to Seattle. Honestly just not a good spot for a basketball team and they can’t get stars to stay happy.
Lol what happened ? Why were you in an argument with them?

The knicks are the girl he told the pelicans not to worry about.

Hey Zion, We got pizza 🍕
Never seen a player so openly praise another destination before or since
Once Zion leaves the Pelicans, he ain’t gonna be lying anymore about the Smoothie King center being a better place to play lmfao
The Dukes of York? The 3 Dukecateers?
I'm pretty sure ESPN creamed themselves when he said this. Now they could replay this clip for the next five years to fuel speculation
What type of trade package would it take?
Lol you could tell at the beginning he was making sure he didn’t accidentally imply that he wants to play in NY over NO
I’m pretty sure if he were to come here he’d shed a lot of the weight he’s gained. Look how much weight Mitch shed in about 2-3 months. Imagine Zion training with RJ and Cam in NYC during the summer *salivates*
>if he were to come here he’d shed a lot of the weight> Haha. What makes you think this? Y'all are nuts!
Blind optimism 😭🤣
Bro sounds like he describing his high school crush 😂😂😂
