Questions still surround Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans after their blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament. Jake Madison explains why the Pels and Zion are at a crossroads and need to decide who and what they want to be. For Zion it’s time to decide how he wants to define his career. Or else it’s time for the Pelicans to clean house and trade Zion Williamson.

Trade Zion is not enough as long Griff will take decisions
Every dayer!
He’s out of shape and doesn’t put out any effort unless he has the ball.
Im disappointed that he hasn't develop a mid range shot at this point. He cant just keep driving in the paint all the time. I think a trade would be best for zion and the pels
No way he leads to championship . He’s a liability on defense and cannot shoot.
Jake, I’m not a conspiracy theorist but dude… the whole in season tournament seemed like it was tailored made for lebron to win. No way are the pelicans that bad, I understand having off nights but it seemed like the team was playing a role instead of playing to their potential
It's going to take Z at least 2 1/2 – 3 months to get completely in shape safely.
Why are you constantly trying to trade Zion?
I think we all are starting to think Z ain't ever goin to reach his ceiling as a Pel maybe it is time to move him on.
🤦🏾♂️ Cmon Zion bruh
Absolute shit show against the Lakers by the entire team and now it's time to trade Zion. Reminds me of another absolute shit show of a team that everyone wants to blame the QB for. The Pels are 12-11, the schedule is about to get easier after tonight. Let's not burn the place down quite yet.
I’m not in the trade Zion camp but realistically what young player to build around could we actually acquire in a trade
Comment
Jose played well too jake
BI was even worse than Zion
@Jake, considering AD's dominant performance against the Lakers and the moderate success that the 2021-2022 team had without Zion in the lineup, it's worth exploring these topics in future episodes:
1. For how lucky the Pels have been in the lottery, what has the organization shown for that?
2. How far could the team go with BI as the no. 1 option without Zion? Can this team thrive on 2 stars that are neither 3-point shooters, dominant defenders, great rebounders, nor high IQ players?
Dec 2022 version of Z was an MVP candidate. If it takes months longer to get him in prime condition than so be it, let’s hope this ass kicking motivates him
i would argue herb foul on lebron set the tone for entire game. think about how different that game starts if herb spanks lebron on that play?
Never been so low on this team right now…😔🏀🇬🇧
