re: Pelicans fans - do you want Zion gone or do you have hope?

This. It's been frustrating but it's not a Greg Oden situation. When he plays, he's probably a top 5 player. I'm terrified it'll be an Embiid situation. You have to see it through to conclusion here, IMO. He's that good. I will say though, if the Blazers offer Scoot, Sharpe, and more, that's probably the only thing I'd be okay with. Still would prefer to keep him though.

He’s not top 5 when not fat. If Portland makes a dumb deal like that for a player that has pretty much eaten himself out of playing, the NBA should step in, void the trade and force Jody Allen to sell the team.
