Crazy how NAW has been the biggest playoff contributor of our 3 1st Rd picks in 2019

We’re going into year 7 of Zion and Jaxson Hayes has still played more playoff games for the Pels(6) than Zion(0).

Playing in a playoff game every other year should be a basic goal for any player in the league. Meanwhile, we got the guy hyped to be the next Lebron and he can’t even play in 1 playoff game in 6 years.

At least 160 players in the nba suit up and play in the playoffs each year.

You’d think in 6 years, Zion could’ve been in that 160, at least once

He’s literally been a complete non factor in the nba for 60% of a decade.

It happens when players go to a more competent organisation.

This franchise is hopeless. Just sell it and invest the money in the Saints.

The team has been to the playoffs without Zion in that timeframe. Maybe Zion is a massive part of the problem.

That's what happens when you're an incompetent, out of shape dud.

Pelicans have played in 10 playoff games since he's been here and he's contributed in 0.

Nico fricking Melli has played in 3.

Let that sink in. The guy who has played TWO total NBA seasons, drafted in the SAME year and on the SAME team --- actually stepped on a NBA court for 3 playoff games for someone.

Don't even mention Garland, who should have been the pick at #4

Pels are a farm team for the real NBA teams

What’s the alternative? We’ll suck even more if he’s not on the team and you’ll push the blame on someone else for us sucking. At least there’s a glimmer of hope with him

Oh he'll be sure to say how bothered he is about it at a press conference, and even do a fake scowl and maybe even throw the word "shite" around for extra emphasis just to show you how pissed and motivated he is.

...Only to then show up to training camp woefully out of shape.


Dude is a fraud.

I see it the opposite way. You’ll never win shite paying Zion 40+million to play 30 games. Getting him off this team would give us a glimmer of hope.

I’d really like to disagree; but this is EXACTLY how I see it as well. 6 years of data is hard to argue with.

Just move this team, it’s an embarrassment to this region and this board sentiment says it all.

Guy is a fat son generational bust. The child is not going to suddenly grow up and actually work for his $100 M +++ especially with a franchise that has zero accountability.
