re: Zion's bubble injury kept secret from team(coaches)?

Not sure if anyone has talked about it yet, but the Lowe Post has a big Pelicans segment today with Andrew Lopez. I haven’t finished listening yet, but they are not as negative about the article and situation as some others are. Zach starts off saying most of the stuff was from the first year in the bubble, and calls much of it “old news“ (but still relevant). He also mentions that some of the sources might no longer be with the team and expressing “sour grapes.“ Apparently Bobby Marks was on the podcast not too long ago and thinks there is no way that Zion signs the QO (both Andrew and Zach believe it is unlikely but possible that he signs the QO). Andrew Lopez talked about Willie Green impressing in summer league, and believes the most important thing this season is how Willie connects with Zion and BI. Andrew seems to think that Zion‘s biggest frustration was the “bursts,” and while he and Zach understand Zion’s frustration, they both believe the organization did the right thing in being cautious with his health. Andrew Lopez mentioned how the Pelicans were one of the best in the league last season in minutes lost due to injury, and how Aaron Nelson‘s approach seems to be working.

Like I said, I haven’t finished the podcast yet. I don’t think there’s anything new or groundbreaking, but it’s refreshing to hear it take on the organization and the article that isn’t all doom and gloom.
