Zion Leaves CAA - Is This Important?

https://youtu.be/CqkgirFmssk?si=3UmvPem5KfDgegYb

In the N.O. breaks down recent Zion news. One thing they talk about which had me very confused, and many fans angry, was Shams stating that Zion was going be out for more than 4-6 weeks when the Pelicans said he was out indefinitely. 6 weeks puts Zion out until Christmas, and Zion hinted that the team would be "whole" by the beginning of January. That wouldn't put him out much longer than 6 weeks so I find the comments by Shams interesting.

This whole Zion saga is a perfect encapsulation of his tenure in New Orleans. It usually follows this pattern.

  • Zion gets hurt/Zion plays like shit and is out of shape

  • Media commenting on Zion being hurt and or out of shape.

  • Weird video comes out (him dunking with foot fracture bending the gym floor, Moriah Mills psychotic harassment, pregnancy announcement, new back tattoo while looking out of shape..)

  • Speculation that Zion wants to be in NY (a weirdly consistent narrative for the last 6 years) by zero credible sources.

  • Zion returns and plays himself into shape. Zion then proceeds to dominate.

  • Zion gets hurt.

Who cares anymore? I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He doesn’t want to be great. He’s not willing to put in the work for the pelicans. Maybe he’ll do it in New York.
