I guess maybe they were the only ones giving the 2nd year and he figures he'd just get traded to a contender if he keeps doing well and NO isn't good.
To be fair, they had playoff expectations this season since Zion was healthy at the time. He wasn't expecting to be playing for a bad team.
Didn't he pick them over the Sixers though? I would think if he wanted playoffs/championship runs he would have stayed in Philly. I would also be much more afraid of them if they still had Redick.
I mean if people really thought NO could compete for the playoffs this year more power to them. But they were delusional. They were fringe playoff team with AD and now he's gone and replaced with a rookie and guys everyone ripped in LA. They've even gotten lucky with how good Ingram has become and I'd still say they had no chance even if Zion was healthy. Their season Win total odds was 31 for a reason.
He was really good in Philly last year. I was really surprised he went to NO. Spitballing teams besides MKE that could maybe make things work for him, how about Dallas perched up around Luka? I don't want him on a EAst contender, he doesn't fit in Phi or Bos situations anyway but maybe Tor or Miami could make it work.
