The purpose of this update was to say Zion won’t be back this year without saying he won’t be back this year.

Yea I sure MJ is not happy his #1 Jordan brand athlete is missing so many games. This has always been the truth Zion family would only take a step back when it starts to affect his brand.

This is pretty much the exact update I was expecting. A bunch of words saying nothing.

Zero chance of this

Even if the team was done with him, they'd still wait even if it's next year for him to return so teams can see he can still drop 25 a game on 60% shooting, then trade with with much higher value than if they trade him before he plays again.

This update shouldn't have even been done, because its added some fuel to the fire on the internets.

The "its in the best interest of everyone that he rehabs away from the team" is obviously bullshite , and it makes it appear he doesn't WANT to be around the team and wants out of here.

Stupid update by a stupid GM.

This was my immediate take. No one even knew where he was before. Our wizards got together and thought it was a good idea to say “Zion needs to be away from the team.” THAT’s the message they agreed on? Lol

There was just a thread a couple of days ago about why Zion wasn't with the team, and some people implied that he doesn't care about his teammates.

That's why this was necessary.

lol. Come on.

First of all, who cares if a few fans notice he's not with the team? Or even a few bloggers.

He's now shined a national spotlight on that fact, complete with Woj tweeting about it. Fodder for the internet at large.

2nd, the statement from him was totally cursory and unnecessary. Its "He's not with the team. He's rehabbing away, because, its in his best interest for some reason."

And then a BS statement "from" Zion clearly written by a PR team.

It is garbage.

They would have been MUCH better off just staying silent until they had something of note to actually say.

They told you he was rehabbing and away from the team. You're freaking out about nothing.

What

I'm just saying it was a pointless, stupid statement that did nothing.

No one is freaking out, I don't really care that much to be honest. It was just stupid and uneccessary.

Go take a look around. People outside of our 12 fans didn't even notice he was missing.

Now they have.
