Charlotte, but he was the 9th pick I think.didn't Kobe go to a small market team when drafted?

You have to trade Zion and AD for the most you can now.
Get future 1st round picks..
NBA teams did well with Jordan & James when they went to each city.
Unless NO gets the farm for the #1 pick, Zion will be a Pelican for a long time.
And you're going to get a grumpy mother fucker at that
If the NBA had it's way LeBron wouldn't have gone to Cleveland, he would have gone to a bigger market, if Zion is the real deal he can do for NO what LeBron did for Cleveland
What would you do fair? Keep AD and Zion and pray they pan out and play hard for you?

Market size doesn't matter anymore. Did it hurt Lebron? Not at all.
He can leave after his rookie contract ends, he doesn't have to be a Pelican for life

The only markets that matter in the new NBA are the international markets. It is huge.LeBron still would make money but a bigger market is always better for player and the NBA. Jordan had NYC fans grinding their teeth at night when he came to town for years.
It didn't hurt KD either, OKC is as small a market as it gets
Back in the days KD was different. Ego didnt kick in. He played at Texas. A power but not a power house. Zion is a different animal. Body and especially mind.
It's not outrageous to think he will go through the motions in NO.

Honestly, if you asked Zion today would you rather go back to Duke there is NO doubt in my mind he would.
