With the league let us do that? I wonder if griff ever thought about Ja with keeping Tony Davis? AD.

Or was there a chance that we could have drafted both?

Griff tried to trade the AD package to Memphis for the 2nd pick, they declined

Ja would be dead or in jail had he come to New Orleans.

Can you imagine if that Lakers pick went #2?


We would’ve been so pumped, only for Zion to get fat and Ja to get shot in NOLA

In this alternate universe where everyone plays hard, just how good is AD, Jrue and rookie Ja. Is that a contender?

Because that trio absolutely would have been good enough to compete come year 3 of Ja

I still wonder how good Zion would've been with AD, again, assuming he doesn't act like a child and get fat.

Ja has issues, but he’s always been a better teammate, better overall basketball player. More receptive to his fans/city

We’d be thriving right now. He’s an actual leader that loves basketball and cares about winning

He also has multifaceted skills on the court

And he’s far more athletic than Zion.

I was so obsessed with that AD draft where we had the Minny first. I was so convinced Damian Lillard was going to be awesome and the idea of getting a rookie center and PG in the same draft for the next decade plus was a dream. Minny picks turn into #10, Lillard doesn’t slip and goes #6, we get Austin freaking Rivers instead. #Pels

Both are garbage.

Zion is fine being w/Pelicans because he can be fat and they won't push him to play. PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES should have their pay docked for every game they don't play.

Ja would have played less than half of his career games if he were in Nola. Same exact thing as Zion is doing now.

It’s possible bc we are cursed, but it wouldn’t be because he’s a fat,lazy bum that thinks he deserves to be a NewYork Knick just because he’s fatter than everyone else and can somewhat dunk.
