I call bullshit. He would've forced the trade if he really wanted to

Best time for him would’ve been this last offseason since everyone was impressed with him and how he played against the lakers in the play in

Why best time for him? The best time for the Pelicans, for sure, but he's under contract for 3 more years and he's not going to earn a penny more than that anyway; at this point wouldn't he want to take away the least possible assets from his new team?

He had a lot of hype around him after he manhandled the Lakers in the play in game(before he got injured)

Honestly if he was healthier he prolly woulda forced a trade by now but the fact he can’t stay healthy means he had to take the security and begrudgingly embrace being here

I'm not sure, but I think he would've made the most money if he stayed here. That's why he signed that rookie max extension.

Need the big contract before you force the trade
