New Orleans has no chance. Zion's inconsistent first year was enough to cast doubt, but pairing him with Adams sealed their fate, imho.
I think the clearest path to a world in which Zion is consistently relevant is to turn him into Amare Stoudamire, at least early on. If he can develop more as a ball-handler later, great, but he could INSTANTLY be a factor as a downhill roller. I would've signed D'Antoni to coach and made a move for a pick and roll point guard. Lonzo is a good player, but he's not that type of player.
