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.
I think we largely fall in line here. Zion should be shunned for this. Its disgusting. If he had a permanent record he should get a giant stain on it for him asking out of NOP this soon after he himself hasn't put forth even a modicum of effort.
