If NO gets #1: Zion to ?

I don't want the Hornets or the Pelicans to get the number 1 pick. Flagg needs to start his career with a better organization.

As for trading Zion I think that's the right call at this point. He isn't going to succeed in New Orleans. If the Pelicans can get a decent return for him I think it's time for them to pull the trigger.

I would stay far, far away from Zion if I were San Antonio, even if New Orleans were offering him to me for free.

Yup. Spurs already have tons of upside in Wemby and Castle, plus they have Fox. They need to round up the roster with reliable 2 way forwards who can shoot, Zion at his salary basically prevents the Spurs from doing much of anything else, doesn't help their defense, doesn't help them space the floor for Wemby, Castle and Fox, doesn't fit the culture... I find myself saying this time and again, but it's like most people here have no sense whatsoever of what kind of moves Spurs FO goes for... and this isn't it.
