I'm just putting myself in the shoes of a would-be NOP fan. You lost a generational talent in Davis, got lucky with ping pong balls and got another generational talent who had rumors floating around as soon as his second season about wanting out. And I think their front office has done a good job of getting talent around him so he has all the chance in the world to win. I wish the league and talking heads would shun players in this situation. I don't expect everyone to be Dame or Dirk, but Zion is the opposite extreme compounded by his health and weight issues.
