Man that was some great drama. Went from NYK potentially using Zion as leverage to get AD, and now NOP gets him.

NO! Gawd not New Orleans!

Such a reminder of the gut punch 7 yrs ago when Davis went to the wrong Hornets

Feel sorry for Zion

We should've seen this coming the second those "whoever wins Zion should trade him for AD" whispers started.

Ya know, I'm mildly annoyed that yet again we didn't move up in a lottery where three other folks did, but I find some solace in PHI not moving up. If PHI won the lottery I would have gone on suicide watch.

This could’ve gone much worse for us. So many undeserving teams in the lotto this year. Would’ve been cool for Memphis to win it if we didn’t.

I agree with you. If Philly or Miami won I would’ve gone ape.

He doesn’t give a dang. This makes it even more likely he gets traded in a major package, which coupled with the #1 pick, enables Puke Orleans to survive another 5 years and allows Davis to go to a large market team and be a multi night per week tv star.

Orchestrated bull crap. What did Charlotte or Jordan ever do to deserve our fate?
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Typical NBA stuff. Same cities get all the best players. Welcome to the Hornets, Nassir. I’ll spend my time and money on the Panthers and Canes from now on.

Crazy to think if Lamb doesn't hit 2 miracle buzzer beaters, we could've been #4.

Damn Pelicans getting Zion to replace Ant. Totally rigged, no question.

We should let Kemba walk, might get us into the top 5 in 2020.

AD doesn’t care, he wants out. The Pelicants will rise from 30th to 26th in attendance. I feel horrible for Zion, such a humble young man and gets sent to that swamp **** hole. I hope he refuses to play in New Orleans but he’s much too classy for that. I’m sure he’ll bail like AD as soon as his rookie contract is up!

I think some of you underestimate Zion's marketability. He is Giannis x5. New Orleans just got a ton of fans. That guy is going to put the city on his shoulders. Saints will be an embarrassment again when Brees retires and Zion will have the perfect opportunity to take that spot.
