I think I’m ready to just trade him and move on. Dude is a problem and not good for our team anymore... — you obviously have to get some value back but I just am ready to cut ties with this dude. He just don’t have it.

What is the incentive to do it now? He is hurt and his value is rock bottom. He is under control for 2 more years. There is no need for a knee jerk reaction.

Let him rehab and see how he progresses. They need to send him away and get proper treatment. I mean like Siberia level training facility. Strict diet and fitness regiment. Get him back the last month of the season in sick shape. We need him out of sight and mind for awhile..

Kind'a like 'Pistol' Pete. Maravich would amaze you with his talent while the team around him would sink like an anchor. The only difference is that the 'Pistol' showed up on game day while Zion uses a 'Comp Ticket' on the team bench while eating Twinkies and Ding Dongs and collecting his $10,000,000.

I’m really enjoying this…I would so much but you fans were so cocky and naive when AD was traded.

Talked about how AD would never win a title (wrong), how Zion was going to carry this team and be better than AD (wrong).

I mean even talking how he would be in New Orleans his whole career unlike AD (appears to be wrong).

I kept saying New Orleans is a small market no super star is likely to stay in and would eventually leave.

Years in the waiting but this is very enjoyable. And no matter what you say AD did get a title so the trade was 100% worth it. Enjoy your crow!

I hope you know you come off not just as an a-hole, but as an actual pos human being

Celebrating in the suffering of others for something as arbitrary as team fandom? Let alone from an LSU fan that has no relation to Los Angeles besides bandwagon nut riding. There might not be a worse class of human sports fan scum on the planet than your ilk.

Sort of wish nothing but the worst for you

I think we push all of the chips in and rehab Zion to try and keep him. He still has the potential to be a once in a lifetime superstar. This kind of potential star power doesn't fall in your lap easily and we will likely never attract that star power through free agency or acquire that star power in a trade. The draft is the only path for Nola and we were able to potentially draft "that" kind of guy in Zion. I'm in the camp that you ride this horse until it's just absolutely positively dead like CP3 and AD.

It's Drew Brees' fault. He passed Zion the torch. Now, Zion is grilling wagyu steaks with it.

I'm afaid the 'frickboys' are right. Greg Oden didn't eat himself off the court like Zion has.

What crow? Anthony Davis has proven to be all of those things everyone said. He won one ring in LA with a mulligan pandemic year and LeBron James leading the charge, and has sunk back into obscurity when he has to be the one to lead the way again.

Zion isn’t perfect, but I would take him over AD every single time

AD sucks. Go talk to all the Lakers fans that are done with him, he’s regressing every year. And nobody outside of LA counts that glorified summer league “title” most the teams didn’t even want to be there

The team is just not good for our city. We tried. Time to try something new. NHL or MLB.
