Hey, Knick fans,...

[Duece]

He loses out on having a big market by being in New Orleans but he comes to a low pressure environment with a media that will kiss his ass. (for example, the Pels told the local media not to criticize Eric Gordon and they obeyed)

In New York or LA, you have incompetent ownership, shaky front offices and a media and fanbase that is rather vicious

Yall niggas see the market size and you're living your hoop dreams thru Zion but yall ain't seeing the dumb executives or the reality of having your career in the hands of Kurt Rambis' wife.

He's meeting with the Grizzlies because he's within his right to do so, if he wanted to meet with Paris-Saint Germain, he'd be with in his right to do so.

The Pelicans can't tell him to sit down and be quiet, that would make them look more like a clown show than him meeting with Memphis.

You're missing the point. Im not instructing the Pelicans to tell him anything. Im saying they should announce he is their guy. Thus, removing his need to even have a meet with another team. And at the very least to display their focus and decisiveness on the matter and plans to build around him.

I think it's foregone conclusion that the Pelicans will draft him but it's obvious from the kid's body language that this was not his first choice and I'm guessing that somebody in Gayle Benson's inner circle has told her to not start officially promoting the kid until he's drafted and signed and AD is dealt with or dealt away and also to allow the kid to warm up to or come to grips with the fact that he'll be playing in New Orleans. Simply it's best not to start chest beating just yet.

Down here, we know that we are not a sexy market for basketball and everybody from ownership to media is trying to play it with a gentle hand, so we don't end up the Vancouver Grizzlies.

If Zion was a tight end, the jerseys would be on sale before he picked his number, but he's not so this situation has to be handled differently.

Strike one??? Shit that’s strike two if Kd dont play in these playoffs and prove that ain’t his Achilles

So Zion stepfather convinced him to consider pelicans after reading him this

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Err, it's not like he has choice to refuse to play for the Pelicans. I mean he does, but that would be incredibly stupid.

The pelicans

He can pull a Kobe and force a trade with the Knicks or L.A. however I dont see them with the assets to pull off this trade you would still have to fall in the top three to pick either Williamson, Morant, or Barrett after that there is a drop off in talent. The Lakers need a Big Man maybe convince Knicks to take Lonzo and a future pick to swap 3 and 4. Offer the Pelicans the third pick for AD and convince one of the top five free agents to sign Kyrie, KD, Klay, Jimmy Butler, Cousins. Zion may stay if The Pelicans can Draft
Zion and Barrett together with Jrue Holiday Julius Randle.

That was the beginning of the end tho. Willis Reed is just retired and the best player in the league is on the block, it's a native New Yorker, wants to be there and you don't make him feel wanted

She said she didn't say that...

Secondly why trade him with in your conference and you have to see him 4 times a years and potentially in the playoffs.

Every league that has conferences does this.

Agreed. Seeing how y'all just choose our assistant GM for your new GM, maybe y'all do something with the Nets

The Colts just signed Chad Kelly, who broke into a woman's apartment, while Kaepernick sits unsigned..

Chad Kelly gets an NFL opportunity from Jim Kelly's friend John Elway and a second chance from Jim Kelly's former backup Frank Reich..

Kinda makes arguing this basketball shit a waste of time because it becomes clear why NBA players want and deserve and work hard to maintain as much control over their careers as possible.
