00:00Yesterday, we did that story about how the Pelicans, Zion's not going to play back-to-backs anymore with the Pelicans going forward.
00:09Now, he wanted to make it clear to everybody that this is not his decision. This is the team's decision. Here is Zion.
00:18How exciting is it for you that there's no back-to-backs coming up, that there's a stretch of six, seven, eight games in a row where you just keep playing?
00:27Let me make this clear to everybody out there. If I can play in the back-to-backs, I would. I physically, yes, I can.
00:36But I work for the Pelicans. They have decided that based off the numbers, you know, it's not smart to do that right now.
00:46So, you know, if that's what they feel, I'm rocking with them on that. But yes, if I could play in a back-to-back, I would.
00:54Let me be clear. That is the seed that has been planted for his exit from New Orleans.
01:00He now, obviously, to me, that was him saying, get me the F out of here. I work for the Pelicans, and they're the ones doing this to me.
01:10That's the beginning of the end right there. That's Salvo right there. Beginning of the end.
01:14He will not be on the Pelicans for very long. If I were them at this point, I'd just trade him.
01:19Because, first of all, he never plays. He's always injured. He's been a massive injury waiting to happen.
01:26And now he's showing signs of malcontent. Now he's, like, coming right out with it.
01:32I work for these idiots. Is there anything worse than the employee that, like, publicly talks about how stupid people are that he works for?
01:43I mean, you got to keep those whispers in your wife's ear in bed at night, okay, or your lover or your boyfriend, girlfriend.
01:50Bottom line, you start doing public interviews and mocking your bosses that they're idiots? You ain't long for this world, son.
01:57I don't disagree with you, but I also don't mind him wanting to get that out there.
02:04Because we talk about this guy like it's him. Like, he's the one that doesn't want to do it.
02:09And he wanted to make it very clear that he's willing to play, and he puts it right on their plate that he ain't going to be doing it.
02:17So he will be out of there eventually. You're right about that. I don't think he's long for that.
