I don't believe be wants to be in New Orleans.
Been saying they should’ve traded for Durant last year now they’ll have to entertain worse options from now on
these takes by nick and chris really show that they don't watch the pelicans and just see the highlights because BI last year played as well if not better than Zion, and the only reason BI hasn't been an all star/all nba is due to injury. All they ever bring up is Zion's efficiency and points, they never mention that his has the handle of jaylen brown and is a defensive liability.
Who would trade for Greg Oden 2.0?
Zion just become a shooter so you won’t have to attack the paint so much if they do trade him trade to the blazers for 3rd pick same wants a 2nd star that would be smart
I’m a Pelicans fan and I believe we should trade him dude is a beast but your best ability is availability that’s been true since sports were created you can’t win if you can’t compete
This could be a gift for New Orleans. I really don’t think Zion can hold up for an entire season + a post season run as your best guy. The best ability is availability
I would not trade Scoot Henderson.. Zion is over weight and will not last his knees are going
Heat culture can fix Zion.
I’m trading Zion and taking the L if he ends up being better somewhere else, he doesn’t want to be there.
But I’m going after KAT or Brook Lopez to backup Jonas, not Scoot. Maybe get a Miles Bridges type for your 2. Pelicans need to go after this ring.
Most overated player I’ve ever seen
Trade Him …. NOW!
Broussard tripping im trading this mf
Julius Randle for Zion
Zion is a terrible defender and can'r shoot much. Raw. Not a very refined game whatsoever. Got like 1 move total.
you cant trade zion hes still got way too much upside and the pelicans arent close enough to being contenders to get a win now guy
Zion to the Celtics 👀👀🤞🤞
Kevin McHale is the most underrated player of all time. He was beyond special.
Zion & Lamelo would be gnarly
I’ll trade Zion in a heart beat he’s done
Zion is a medical bust
If i was NO i’d literally get rid of the guy for a first and a second and not even look back. He’s played 100 games. He’s missed 200 games. He’s never in shape. He’s always hurt. His mentality is weak and foolish. Now, he has offcourt drama? Yea, I’d trade him so fast
Moriah is boring to watch maybe that's why he was so boring
Gotta trade him before the stripper babies arrive.
Zion to PHX for DA, would work.
Cause why would PORTLAND WANT HIM, if they trading DAME, scoot would be awesome with the younger blazer CORE
Dallas just moved to 4th favorite to win it all. Vegas Knows they are getting Zion or someone
Maybe Zion needs to get on the Luka Skinny Diet.
4:30 "new Orleans with the food could be a temptation "
Really!? 😂
FAT boy will never be healthy enough to make a meaningful contribution, but if I'm the Pelicans, I'm asking for both LaMelo and the #2 pick, and possibly the #27 pick as well.
Yes because the whole league is clamoring to get a 400 pound dude who plays 12 games a year 💀
San Diego is the spot!! ❤
After Undisputed is over, this is the best show out there!
if I'm New Orleans i'm calling the Blazers and offering Zion for the 3rd pick and Anfernee Simons. At this point Zion is a bust for them and he isn't available to play for his value to even be worth trying to hold out hope for.
Anfernee Simons is a borderine all-star caliber guard and the 3rd pick, weather its Scoot or Miller, will either be a potentially great player or have great value.
Meanwhile the Blazers would be taking a massive swing at potentially getting the 2nd star Dame has always needed in Portland to be a contender. Huge boom or bust potential, but if Portland isn't looking to trade Dame it would be their best option in trying to win a title.
Send Zion to Portland. They are all vegans
Zion "Oden" is a bust, would have never extended him. His value just keeps dropping.
They keep saying all these guys is gonna take the throne from Bron and carry the NBA but where you like Bron or not one thing these guys will never have is LeBron Focus, Drive and Ambition, that guy been so clean and focus on pure basketball and he's been carrying the NBA from since He came in for 20+ years, these guys can't go 1 season without in trouble or falling for the BS, they always distracted
He would be 1.5ish hours from where he grew up in SC, if he were to land in Charlotte
Isn’t Scott supposed to be going to Portland and brandon Miller go by to Charlotte get dame with Zion
