There was already smoke last year that Zion wanted out of New Orleans. Remember, he was only drafted two years prior. That should set off alarm bells. I'd question why he'd want to be in our market if that's the case. The good news for the Mavericks is that even if they wanted to leverage their future (again), they probably can't afford him.
The KP parallels are interesting. While Zion is a much more talented player, KP is way more of a gym rat. While the Zion is fat rhetoric may be blown out of proportion a la Luka, I think the weight that Zion is comfortable at isn't sustainable giving his athleticism.
