Great news.

Isn't AD under contract for another season? Could you imagine pairing Zion with Davis and Jrue Holiday?

Congrats NOLA. Lakers got #4 so I'm pretty happy too.

Insane. Not a big basketball fan but I know how huge this is. Excited for New Orleans!

He might stay now with more talent. It totally changes the team. Williamson is about as good as it gets.

Yeah, like AD was going to be "traded" to the Lakers a few months ago.

Let's wait and see how this plays out but the thought of having Zion/AD together along with Holiday is something to be excited about as a Pels fan.

AD is about to make a big mistake. Could find himself on an even worse team instead of creating a real contender with this pick.

Most definitely it'd be a dream scenario and we do have to let things play out; but AD and his agent still want to go to LA and be with LeBron...

The only team that will stand up to the Lakers and not give it away like most teams do is the Celtics...

AD is not being smart and after the Lakers debacle (and that team is a hot mess right now), if I were AD I'd hire a grounded, sensible agent and reevaluate in light of the draft lottery last night...
