If Zion signs with Rich Paul, what do we do?

Windfart was just on ESPN talking about him looking for an agent, and of course the mouthpiece said Paul is in the running. What would we do?
Extra: ESPN keeps pushing this narrative that we are the "smallest market in all of professional sports". What a joke.

WHats a smaller market though. Green Bay in the NFL but outside of that. Just be real about it
He’s probably not wrong

You know RP and LeBron have a strong relationship with Griffin from their time together in Cleveland, right?
While I wouldn’t want to deal with another RP client if possible, we have the right POBO to deal with him.

Phoenix Arizona, Portland Oregon, Denver is probably a smaller sports market. It’s not even because the lack of people at some of them the culture is just different. New Orleans is a sports city. We made the super bowl have insanely low viewership with a last second boycott only like 50% of us participated in. They aren’t huge in numbers but New Orleans fans are crazy

PHX has 5 million people and all 4 major sports.
DEN has 3 million and all 4 plus MLS
What?

PHX may host games from all four major sports leagues but I would be hard-pressed to consider the Cardinals, Suns, or Coyotes to be major league teams.
They're closer to AAA teams which serve as farm affiliates for the rest of the league.

Portland is the smallest of those 3 and is still literally twice the size of new orleans
the new orleans metro is like a million people and none of them watch basketball.

OKC and Memphis are probably closest to NOLA.

Memphis is probably the smallest market
So yes people watch basketball in NOLA

Yes but New Orleans isn’t the only market for pelicans games. I have lived in Baton Rouge my whole life and there are Pels fans all over the place here

You can’t just think of it as Phoenix. More than just New Orleans are pels fans

Counterfeit jersey huckster or not, Rich Paul represents some of the best players in the NBA.
He's like the local workers you need to use when conducting operations in certain countries. He's a cost of doing business. You can grin and bear it, or you can hold to your principles and not do business.

If you look into sports history for these regions, they are typically some of the highest regular viewers for sports.
While pro wrestling and the NBA don’t directly correlate, the Memphis territory and the Mid South territory (Louisiana, Oklahoma, and parts of multiple other states) used to have insanely high market shares whenever they were broadcast.
There are rabid sports fans to be found who will view the product. Getting them to turn out is the issue.

The same thing we do if he doesn't sign with Rich Paul, we draft him.

talking about him looking for an agent
He really doesn't have an agent yet? (I guess those Duke payments were plenty big) Is there a rule that has kept him from signing with one yet? Seems odd.

And yet by tv market New Orleans was number 3. Not only that but it really doesn’t matter how big New Orleans is. Baton Rouge And everywhere in Between is pelicans territory. The pelicans are a bigger market than people think they are just because of low population in the city
