Should've drafted Darius Garland instead of getting fancy and trading back in the draft for more picks. And should've forced Zion to play on the perimeter SF from day 1 to force him to get in shape and develop his skillset. Would've been a completely different team right now if they did those two things.
they still had Lonzo Ball and Jrue Holiday at the time.

That’s hindsight talk, they had just got Lonzo in the Lakers deal and why would they have put Zion at SF when they had Ingram?

Last time New Orleans had a great season was back in 2008....and then Chris Paul let Pargo shoot them out of the series in a decisive game and the rest was history...

Since it looks like all the rumors are coming true - the final bit of intel have on this whole situation is that ownership will mandate Dumars to keep Willie Green and trade Zion. This is what I have heard.

It's possible the Phoenix situation impacts Willie Green, but this is the plan I am hearing.

One person suggested to me the recent drama with his partner(s) was the nail in the coffin.

I think that's absolutely hypocritical from a group that pursued Deshaun Watson

Griffin should be packing for trading Dyson

Thats revisionist history. Nobody knew Dyson was like that over Dejounte Murray. and Griffin surrounded Zion with a lot of talent. Lonzo, McCollum, Ingram, Josh Hart, Dejounte Murray are good swings at building a championship team around Zion even if they ended up missing. If you're going to question anything question his coaching hires or not trading Zion..
