Zion is a fat useless piece of shite

If they dont trade him, they should suspend him the rest of the year

I am not defending Zion at all, but MSY is not a slot-restricted airport.

Now It completely make sense why they never wanted to make him the face of the franchise.


He became the face of the franchise on Day 1…

Fair enough. I'm just laying out some of the many reasons why a seemingly minor transgression often has outsized impacts due to cascading impacts.

Larry Bird left two Pacers behind when they were late for the team plane.
It's not hard to be on time for shite.

This is exactly what I was thinking. They shoujd have just left his fat arse behind.

Let him make arrangements to get to the city on his own after. Bet he wont be late again. This is Griffs and upper managements fault.

I think it would be more of a punishment to make him play back to back games

Total disrespect for the team and the coach.

Chuck Muncie had an excuse for his immature behavior- he was on drugs the whole time.
Zion just doesn’t care.

Time to cut bait. Let the bidding begin.

Not good money management, unless you're getting some good odds on this.

Zion makes Baron Davis look like a team guy. What a bum.

I'm curious to see what these methods were because it seems like there's always something with him and there's been little to no accountability for anything he's done since he's been here.

Do you understand how air travel works? They likely had a slot for takeoff. Him showing up 10 minutes late could cause much longer delays as they wait for a new slot. There is a plane full of people waiting because of one selfish a-hole. If I have a meeting with 10 consultants charging me $300/hr, some a-hole showing up 10 minutes late costs me $500 of lost productivity. Now do 70 people, with a good fraction making multi-million $ salaries


Zion is an idiot.

But this is all retarded lol

The perfect punishment would be to have to play 40 minutes tonight vs Boston.

If not only for the Parlay of Long D, who bet Zion to have 30/8/6 tonight. 1200$ pay out.

Please punish this man with more minutes.

Tonight is a measuring stick. He's going up against a Superstar contemporary player. Zion needs to show out and outperform Tatum. This is a huge game for him..
