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.
Remember when JJ Reddick went public that Pelicans' management had lied to him, then traded him? I wonder if it's a pattern.

Perhaps Zion is discouraged with the quality of leadership.
