Catching up on this thread and I'm just laughing at all of the sad faces.
Will be fun to attend both Pelicans & Grizz games this year.

I can't get over that
So we bully Celtics fans? We walkin 'round taking they launch money and slapping 'em in the back of the head.
He didn't say you bullied fans.
I think he meant non stop begging for something bad to happen to them. Crabs in a bucket type sh*t.
@Nike Jordan come in and clear up what you meant.

I think he gets another shot somewhere, Melo can still be a good piece off the bench somewhere, the issue came in teams thinking he was still fit to be the third best player on a contender.

Nah, secure the bag while you can.
There’s no guarantee he’s the number one pick next year (injury, news players, down year, etc.)

I wouldn’t care who drafted me. You’re in position to be the face of the franchise. That’s everything you dreamt about as a kid. I’m not going back to school. No way

Nah. If you got the power to choose where you work you take it.

Theoretically Zion could withdraw, train for a year, and still be drafted #1 next year. In regards to funds, Nike is about to give him that bread so that shouldn't be a concern. I don't side with everything Cowherd says, but I agree that the Pelicans don't deserve Zion. Has nothing to do with the city of New Orleans, which is amazing, but Pelicans are dysfunctional AF and has an owner in Gale that only wants to keep the team to prove people wrong. She doesn't care about the Pelicans man, she owns the damn Saints and NOLA/LA is a football city/region. Pelicans had AD for all these years and how has that worked out? Sell that team to a group from Seattle already.

I could see why Zion would be upset because of how dysfunctional the Pelicans are, and the impending AD situation.
But in terms of cities, Nola is a pretty fun city.
I would rank it in the middle-tier, in terms of cities that I would personally live in.
Nola has great food, good music, and an awesome nightlife.

But he is wanted by other teams. He doesn't need to take the "I'm just grateful" approach.

We want to talk about dysfunctional teams but let’s look at the rest of the top 4.
Grizzlies been in shambles. They cashed out Chandler Parsons after he showed an x Ray with no kneecaps.
The knicks are the knicks. The knicks been the knicks.
The Lakers are being ran by Kurt rambis’ wife.

Would you have the same energy if the Lakers had the number one pick and he grimaced when they were announced?
- 82,600
- 117,965
Yeah. Why wouldn't I?
If he doesn't want to play for a team whether it's the Lakers or the globetrotters that's his choice. If you're a wanted player you got some power to use and I'm never mad at that. Me being a Laker fan ain't got **** to do with that.

I agree with you about the Grizz, but at least NY and LA have historic franchises and are in cities where a young player will be motivated to make it work, despite dysfunction, because fans actually show up to games and care about the team. It's been done in other sports (players threatening to withdraw after being picked or playing other sports) so I don't see how people could be that hard on Zion if he went that route. All that being said, he's going to suit up in NOLA and do his thing. David Griffin seems like a competent GM, so I'm hoping Pelicans get it together and not let another generational talent go to waste.
