There's smoke on both sides. The greatest issue is his health and inconsistency with rehab.
From my vantage point, Zion is fine with NO, but his family and entourage are not. Relatedly, his family and entourage want him isolated and dependent on them, so they interfere with the team and try to influence him to stay away from then.
Zion also appears to be an introvert off the court, so he doesn't reach out and make connections with teammates he can't play with. It's a big mess and will end poorly - unless he stays healthy and develops strong relationships with teammates who can help him mature and gain some independence from both the FO and his fam.
So yeah I'm braced for Oden levels of disappointment.
