It would be a great day for me if Randle came back. He played great with Ingram in LA. They have good chemistry. Everybody else will hate it, even if we get some picks too. But I'd love it..

Lol at Zion if he thinks he has earned the right to dictate where he would be traded.

You can't be serious ????
That account tweeting that isn't even a credible source. If it's not from Woj, Winhorst, Shams, Stein, etc. it's probably fake news.

Other recent tweets from that account

1) Nets have interest in trading for Zach Lavine

2) Heat will sign and trade for DLo

3) Knicks interested in trading for Paul George

Either this guy has the best sources on the planet getting scoops nobody else is...or he's throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks lol

Scoot is literally the only guy in the draft that if we trade Zion to get him, people may not agree with it, but scoot brings that type of excitement.


There’s only one guy in the draft that brings that type of excitement and it ain’t scoot.

That's their job and they are retweeting factual content. I would not expect them to comment or retweet various rumors that may or may not have any substance.

Why should they be criticized for doing their job? He hosted a very public event a few days ago. I would think they would want to get as much run out of that as they could in the offseason. They also recently retweeted about an event that Herb Jones hosted.

Can you please read? “ I literally wrote I’m not criticizing them, I just find it funny.” Do you work for the organization or something? Wouldn’t be surprised honestly.

They may trying to up his trade value with that tweet tbh. The community service stuff got lost in the shuffle this past week. Tweeting that now might have been strategic for many different reasons.

Agreed. Again not a criticism but just interesting and kind of funny. Just hypothetical, say pelicans dont do the Zion for Scoot trade but now get tons of proposals for Zion. What would be your baseline to trade Zion to other teams if your not getting Scoot?

Depends on the team, I’m not accepting anything less than a KD package

Again your opinion and I respect that. But is it reasonable to ask for package comparable to a legit NBA superstar that has proven to win at the highest stages for someone who has documented issues staying healthy despite his elite talent?

seems to have some legs. Pels Beat writers have said for weeks we love scoot. Then the shams stuff comes out.

If this trade goes down either we or the Hornets are borderline autistic. It either means we traded Zion for a draft pick with a much lower ceiling and is unproven or the Hornets gave us Scoot for a bunch of future picks and a few young guys. Someone is getting robbed
