Do you think Zion has played his last game as a Pel?

It’s all a bit too fishy atm .
Apparently injured , told not to come to the games.
Plays again , scores 30 but apparently the injury was so severe that his missing months of action now .
Won’t be back till around jan/ February ironically around the trade deadline .
Not turning up to home games when all other injured players are.
Posts a photo with him being fat as frick on social media then parts ways with his agency because they didn’t get him to New York …
I think it’s finally over the Zion era . It has to be . Ingram also seems super dedicated and committed almost like his been told that if he does he will get the entire bag .

The video is supposedly from this summer. But I doubt he looks much different. I think he let go of his agents due to his contract. He just realized he's in danger of losing 120M this summer, plus the endorsements are drying up. It's a big possibility he can be cut. He'd get some of it back, but it was a dumb deal for him to sign. Someone would have given him a fully guaranteed deal. His agents should have pushed for it.

Ingram shouldn't get a max deal. I don't see anyone giving him one. He's a good player and he'll get a strong payday, but I doubt it'll be from us. It's in his interest to test FA and pick his best spot. We need to move him now though. His value isn't getting any higher..

Agreed - move Zion and BI. Rebuild with the rest of the roster, and whatever players you get in the trades/upcoming draft. BI is a nice side asset, but not worthy of anything close to a max deal. Zion is just useless to this franchise.

I hope so. Can’t defend the guy any longer. God given (and wasted) talent

If we move on from both Zion and Bi, the Murray trade is a complete disaster.

Hopefully. Fatass is everything wrong with the NBA.

I never will forget on draft night the look of disappointment on his face because the Pelicans got the first pick. He has never wanted to be here. He will probably thrive in a big market ( especially the Knicks) because that’s where he has always wanted to be. We really need to move on and begin a new era

So you keep both? Trade one (which one)? Keep Zion who at this point just can't be counted on to play much, or overpay BI. Team will need a PG even without the 2 of them, so don't see that trade labeled as a disaster in that event. And, you don't cure mistakes by persisting to keep making the same one.

Also, never forget the look on his face when he signed the big contract- he couldn't believe we actually gave it to him! He was so happy he looked guilty, like he was thinking " hey i was was doggin it just to get the hell outta here, i woulda taken less for that. But yall gave me the max!? suckers! maybe i will stay awhile (or let yall think that) before i dog it again to get traded WITH my $, thank yall very much.
Unrelated, but that, followed by Griffin and Langdon in the war room jumping for joy high fivin and huggin it out because Kira Lewis?... fell?... and we we're just so blessed weren't we. Every mock draft in the world had us taking him leading up, but i thought theres no way they do that without due dilligence, no way thats the best available player there. To me it was like they listened to Internet mock makers and gave them credit enough to get truly excited about something we were basically told to do and most fans knew wouldnt be anything to get excited over.
Those two have lived rent free in my head for years. We've basically never seen our situation for what it is at the time and are happy to get fricked or be a league punching bag so long as DG can spin it to buy himself more time to never figure some more shite out. The longer DG is here, the worse it'll get. it will never get better. could have said so then, but for anyone who still doesnt realize that..
Look Griff knows what he is! he has the whole time. He was basically interviewing Gayle, trying to press his luck and see if he could get the perfect situation for HIM. "Oh ill only come to a serious org, one who i can run top to bottom, hire any and every position to insulate myself from blame with, spend any money insay on upgrades i choose, in a small market where ill evade scrutiny, can control the joke local media, oh and best of all an owner who will be none the wiser and will actually love... me for making the org look...competent". Dude said, i a sitch like that, with a number1 pick? even if it all goes to shite immediately i could probably still get 10 years out of it!
Bottom line- everyone in this org that controls our happiness (Griffin, Zion, B.I.) think that we, Gayle and the fans, are some absolutely suckers. we are not a team we are something to be milked for all its worth

Completely agree. Grif went all in and had a losing hand. He should be fired. No fourth chances. The dude has zero vision and has completely fricked this franchise for years.

I don't want to see his childish arse on our roster again

Let’s hope so

I hope so. The fact that he hasn't been on the bench with his teammates is all you need to know. He is a shitty teammate with a loser mentality. I don't want him affecting our young guys anymore. Hell, maybe the team told him to go home because the team is tired of listening to him eat nachos. I just know that he is not a real part of this squad.

Do you remember the time he fell asleep on the bench lol??? I’ve never in my life seen a NBA player literally fall asleep on the bench during a game until Zion did it.

Yeah, move Zion for assets and build around a starting lineup of:
Murray
Herb
Trey
BI
Missi
That lineup is balanced offensively and defensively. You then have Hawkins and Jose to back up the guard spots. You can use Zion to bring in a forward, center, or both. Even if you can't trade for them, he will give us space to upgrade.

I don't remember that at all, but don't doubt you at all. Get ready for this next part:
Jaxson Hayes is more professional than Zion Williamson
