Antonio Daniels: “What you have here in New Orleans is, a lot was going on early on in the season, new pieces trying to fit in along with head coach Willie Green. And that’s a lot to take on early; 1-12, 3-16 is what this team started. And now, at that time, the talk was, ‘Let’s tank. There’s no Zion.’ Fans all said they should just tank the season. Even when you acquired CJ McCollum. I remember Stephen A. Smith saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know what they’re doing. Why would CJ McCollum want to go there? New Orleans ain’t going anywhere anyway.’”
