Are you sold on Scoot Henderson as an NBA player?
If the comments on Locked on Hornets account for anything, this deal won't happen. They seem to prefer to keep Scoot, and if they did trade for Zion or BI, then they would want future picks and another player (Herb) thrown in as well.
It seems that the fans are just as disenchanted with Zion and BI's injuries as we are
Keep Zion , trade BI , Dyson and lewis jr .. you can also add some picks to that
how good can he be was in the g league
I just have to stop and think about this but….. We have Trey Murphy so that kind of makes a BI lost perhaps a little more easier to deal with although I do not want him to go 😭
But I would take a healthy scoot Henderson over an injured non playing Zion any day
If the opportunity is there get him. Definitely reminds me of Derrick Rose pre-injury with the energy him brings and is even a bit bigger and more physical. Now is the time to make a move like this
It is a risk to keep keep hoping Zion stays healthy but the teams hand is forced to do that because his ceiling is literally one of the greatest players of all time. It is what it is. Zion is the hill we die on.
Trade Zion and stop this Jake. you are nothing but a puppet and support the narratives of the organization. Scoot have not done anything in the NBA. and you non-players falls in love with anything that the media put out. I hope they trade Zion so, Zion can go back home and play with Melo. They will be the best one two punch beside Jokic and Murray. When he played on the All-Star game night, he average playing against other average players. And he could never fit with BI, BI is a team player and a facilitator. Scoot is a selfish player and don't like to share the ball. Please TRADE ZION!!!!!!!! This may be the first thing that put MJ over the top as a owner. If I was BI or Zion, I would not want to be in New Orleans, they may have spoke to soon. And I know Zion Stepdad will use these comments to ask for a trade. And the Pel's might lose BI also. Pels' lost Davis, CP3, and is about to lose Zion. And if this is a message to wake Zion up, wrong move!
Been wanting this dude.
Its funny that quote doesn't match what happened at the end of the G league season when he let his foot off the gas.
Zion leaves I leave loyalty is everything
There are not 10 people in the nba better than Zion when he’s healthy. You could argue there’s not 5. He’s MVP level.
What chall think bout c.j. and Zion fa Dame?
Either gonna be a slightly less athletic D Rose/ Russell Westbrook… or woulda coulda shouldas like Trevon Duval and Dennis smith Jr… we shall see
Vic vs Scoot four times per year would be good for the NBA.
Jake made an incredibly good point at 14:30. We can have fun talking trades but odds are Charlotte drafts Scoot at 2 or we simply just don’t pull the trigger
At minimum, someone in the organization is stirring shit up, knowing that they’re sending a deep message to the top guys on the team. And yes BI misses a lot of games himself, but we all know that this is Zion’s team, and he hasn’t at all lived up to being the face of the franchise.
Why would you go through all the trouble of asking Shams to do this just to knock Brandon? Zion was projected to be much better than what Scoot is supposed to be, and yet Zion is the main guy floated by Shams in that video. Could very much be a wake up call from the organization
Yes. From what I've seen, he's a complete gusrd, whether they play him st the point or two. He's a playmaker the Pelicans need to run the offense, score, and take over as the franchise player.
Jake why would the Pels allow this to be leaked ! They lose leaverge and teams can make the Pels overpay in trade compensation.
I think ur reaching with those comments but I understand where u coming from…as an organization u should be transparent to the players not throwing subliminal messages & expecting these young guys to get it
The sport media or the so call Pelicans fans must really be disillusion hell no, I'm not trading Zion Williamson or BI for a point guard we don't even know so what he can slam dunk so can other guards coming out of college come on Pels fan don't fall for the hokey doke, the Pelicans getting rid of 2 of there top scorers in Zion Williamson and BI are you crazy if they do this,l will no longer support the Pelicans.🤦🏿♂️
This team needs aggressive players I agree but what we don't need is another young player that needs time to develop…its injuries thas killing this team & Willie's rotations at times
With the money situation I like potentially trading for him
We have 4 ball handling pg's on this team,we don't need this guy
