Zion leaving CAA, Rumored to want to go to New York (as usual)

You know what that means.

I think it's just as likely they made promises about endorsement deals that couldn't be kept because Zion couldn't keep himself on the court, or like Soggy said, they may be dropping him.

It's probably all of the above. He's probably more work than he's worth to represent at this point. His marketability is shot and his weight clause is getting more and more attractive.

Friday after business hours is when everyone dumps information they don't want becoming news.

I think it's ridiculous that all of this bullshite is coming out during the game

It's all related. Zion is being immature and posted a video that makes him look terrible, so CAA had enough and fired his arse.

quote:

They’re reporting Zion and his crew may be pissed as the contract may be an issue due to Zions health issues

---

So, they still have no self awareness? His world is going to have to fall apart for him to change. I would either trade him or cut him before next season. I seriously think using his contract to cut him may be the only way he ever sees the light.

Not necessarily. Him randomly talking to the local media this morning is different. Like he knew shite was coming and he was trying to get out ahead of it and says he's rehabbing fine.

I think this is more CAA dropping Zion. They thought they had the next marketing gold mine and now he’s old news and fat.

Like every company that’s done marketing deals with Zion have to be pissed. I guarantee you Jordan brand is livid. No one is buying the shoes of a fat part time basketball player

There is no reason to drop him man. Agencies dont drop players even if they commit crimes. This is Zion.

---

And what does Zion do for them? No one is lining up to do marketing deals for a part time basketball player. He’s not getting another max contract in his career. He’s more headaches for them at this point

quote:

I promise you, CAA wasn't fighting too hard to keep him. They only get paid for new contracts, and those are drying up.

Look Zion is an idiot. But an agency is not looking to lose or drop players- its not a good look for business. You keep players even the idiots like Zion.
