Zion's issue is he makes no decisions for himself, his stepdad is in complete control. This is the same Stepdad that took the podium to talk at Zion's Pelicans introductory press conference, so you know that's not a good thing :lol:
That sucks for him. Way too many people wanting to suck on the teat of successful, and unfortunately it's usually family.

Zion's Dad is his trainer. Zion's Mom is his nutritionist.

Zion's 2 biggest issues are health and weight. Go figure.

You'd hear me bitching all the way from war torn Ukraine.

Randle is a mediocre basketball player. He's on the very shortlist and maybe the leader in the clubhouse for worse value in the entire league based on his near $30mil a year contract.

NYK isn't remotely a trade destination because they have nothing to give us compared to 2/3 of the league. But I doubt Randle would be involved at all. Once you take his contract plus others, you're looking at $40mil. The Pels don't really have $40mil worth of contracts to give back. Most of our dudes actually have solid value, so we wouldn't be able to match that salary without giving up pieces we deem to have value, which wouldn't happen.

I highly doubt you were terribly interested in a Herb Jones follow up but I'm doing it anyway lol.

This is a lengthy thread from last night's game. Not all of the videos are Herb Jones related but this one and the next 2 after this one are. It's just videos of individual plays:
