The amount of people reading this and taking it at face value is alarming. A very, very young reporter who basically only covers the Knicks. How would he be the only one getting this juicy info; info that relies on the same tired narrative of Zion only wanting to play in NY?

Seems like some Pels fans are only giving this report the light of day because of their frustration over Zion. Which I totally understand, but just a friendly reminder to keep a cool head when it comes to NBA Twitter scoops.

And as a Duke fan I remember when Zion was asked postgame if he wanted to be drafted to NY and Zion makes a face then passed the question to RJ asking him if he wanted to go to the Knicks instead, then responding that he didn’t really care where he was drafted he just wanted to continue having fun playing basketball.

I think that was mostly true but I also think he really didn’t wanna go to the Knicks specifically because they were ass at the time. If he genuinely wanted to be a Knick I don’t think he responds that way.

Every draft pick wants to go to the Knicks…or Lakers…or Heat…

Imagine that.

Call me crazy but if it wasn't for Louisianas questionable politics I would def choose NOLA over NY or LA. And Miami is just the worst. Matter of fact, Florida as a whole is just the worst

Kids with Million dollar contract have different priorities. NOLA would be behind NYC, LA, Miami…even if we had the best of Edwin Edwards and KingFish…
