re: Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, and Zion Williamson.

"You are only as strong as you're weakest link". From the very beginning Zion was his own worst enemy and our weakest link. If he was serious from the very jump this team would look a lot different right now. But his inability to be present as crucial times or just in general show up puts not only a damp on our fan's morales but also our players too. I guarantee if Zion played like he was suppose to Hawk would look like a different player. We have bench/role players playing the role as a starter/star when they're supposed to be secondary players/help to the actual star player but Hawk is in his second year like Nickeil trying give more than he possibly can at the moment. Borrego probably can't even experiment or enact a consistent offensive gameplan because this dude Zion doesn't show up for games and probably doesn't even take practice seriously. It's hard to make decisions that benefit the whole team across the board when your most important player happens to be the one that's dragging the entire team down.

How has this franchise managed to fail so heroically? At some point the finger has to be pointed at ownership, right?

Adjust your expectations and know if we win the lottery the selection is going to be part time always with an eye on getting out of NOLA.

I’m more sympathetic to ownership here than the Saints because NBA rules are not as equitable as the NFL.

As a Pels fan. You have to learn to accept just being in the club and have no expectations of a championship. It can never happen here, just be tickled with the occasional 50 win season and playoff appearance.

Falling into Zion was the real curse on this franchise..

New Orleans will never get a 'generational talent' to buy in (stay in shape, play where/how asked, play thru minor injuries, etc).

We need a team full of Herb Jones that wake up thankful every day for the chance to make a living playing basketball.

... and then maybe we can one day luck out with a European player that hasn't been poisoned by American basketball culture

Yep, 30-8 was nice. Bad luck after, though
