Zion hasn't hired an agent yet. If you were him would you come out now, as expected, or go back to Duke and go number 1 next year?

Lol! This is so ridiculous. Like a guy said earlier hold out for what to get drafted by Phoenix or another ishty team next year? Doesn't make sense. His best path is fight the terms of his rookie deal (third and fourth year options) play it out to the qualifying offer then bounce as a ufa. He'll have more than enough money to sacrifice that first deal |

And then the Suns win the lottery and he delayed his big pay day for what exactly? Jrue, Davis, and Zion fit each other so well, I would just keep them all if I'm NO. Then after smashing through their opponents next season, I dare AD to leave. |

Lebron thrived in Cleveland. There is no reason Zion can't in New Orleans. Taking the QO is dumb too when the time comes. He'll be losing out on millions of dollars by doing that.

Williamson's stepfather, Lee Anderson, appeared on the Off the Bench radio show in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Thursday and said the Duke playmaker is "excited about the prospect of getting down there and getting settled," (h/t Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune). He also stressed returning to Duke "is not something that we have even considered."

New Orleans officially starts from ground zero and Atlanta goes ALL IN on their culture change and becoming this year's brooklyn: www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachineAtlanta would be giving up BOTH #8 and #10 in this scenario perhaps taking back NO second round pick this year or something. For NO you now have Zion and 2 other top 10 picks in this draft and if you're really smart, also have #4 from the lakers in exchange for davis. Pick the right guys but don't be afraid to choose guys that may take a year to come around like Jonathan Isaac this season for example. You now immediately, in one draft, have a legit core for 10 years. Then you sign all the veteran player coaches you can find and bring in a guy or 2 looking to prove themselves and in 3 years Zion is leading you towards contention. It's not that hard. Just give the lakers AD and all your base are belong to NO one day being a powerhouse!!! |

He would be "missing" out on one year of nba salary at what, $15 million raise or so taking into account the difference between what would be his QO and first season max number? Again, by that time he'll already have $100 million in sneaker and endorsement money. He's the most marketable star to enter the league since lebron or jordan. "Sacrificing" that season to get an even higher max the next while going to the TEAM OF YOUR CHOICE would be the way to play that. #HEGOTGAME It's different with the Zinger. Not only is he injury prone but he's proving to be a massive wanna be thug ass hat. He's gonna HAVE to take that deal dallas probably doesn't want to give him anymore lol |

RIDGE
The Los Angeles Lakers seemed like they might have the inside track on acquiring Davis after the two teams’ reported trade discussions earlier this season. However, the Pelicans came away from that debacle unhappy with how business was done. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said this week on “The Russillo Show” podcast that he thinks the Pelicans are still ticked about that and won’t make a deal with the Lakers, especially after New Orleans landed the No. 1 pick. “I don’t think the Pelicans want to make a deal with the Lakers — when I say I don’t think, I know that’s how they feel,” Windhorst told Ryen Russillo. “Had the Lakers won the lottery and had Zion and had an opportunity to offer something like that, it would have been so overwhelming that I think it might have removed that impediment. There’s a lot of animosity and scar tissue built up between these two organizations. I feel very strongly that New Orleans does not want to make a deal with LA.” – via NESN.com
What say ye, Sir Jumper of House Bandwagon?

If they Pels roll out Zion, Jrue, and Randle, Davis, and it E'Twuan Moore continues to improve, could they contend for the 8th seed?
Of course, they'd have to get buy-in from AD and sign Randle long-term.
I wonder if they could extend both guys then go after a serviceable, pass-first PG like Ricky Rubio.

Utah doesn't seem to want Rubio back. Who was 8th in the West this season? I'm sure they could contend, barring injury. Are they keeping Payton, or is he a FA? They missed a lot of games that could have gotten them into that last slot. |

Been saying this for a while He's going to have the ball in his hands a lot more than Zion so it's not farfetched that he could be ROY. If the Pels don't move AD till the deadline, Zion won't be featured enough to get the stats. |

I also think the trade, when it comes will be to the East, like Pop did with Kawhi. They aren't going to help a team in their own conference when they are trying to make the playoffs. They have to get in and win more than AD or they risk history repeating. They lost CP3 and are about to lose AD so they can't afford to not improve on the last decade of incompetence. |

When they had Cousins they would've made the playoffs had he not gotten hurt. But they were still only a 6 seed at best. Randle has somewhat exploded in NOP. I don't think it's far-fetched at all to say they'd make the playoffs |

They missed a lot of games that could have gotten them into that last slot. Utah spent the whole trade deadline trying to unload Rubio on Memphis for Conley Clippers were 8th this year Payton's deal is up. He put up big numbers with an embarrassing +/-. I imagine they'd be happy to see him go unless he's willing to sign for cheap. |

Who cares what their ownership feelings are, business is business. They just fired the GM for NOT taking the lakers offer last season and now with the #4 pick the offer is even better. Ainge is not trading for another superstar on the last year of their deal that does NOT want to be there. You guys are faking retarded to think he's giving up tatum for Davis to walk away next summer. GTFOH. That's ALWAYS been a media driven pipe dream. Bottom line is the lakers have the best package to offer. The players any other teams are offering aren't better than ANY of the lakers three young studs. |
