It’s actually even more ironic considering the league sends Zion to the same team the Lakers try to fleece. In fact, if you want to dig deeper the league gifted AD the year after Chris Paul demanded a trade (which was established with the Lakers until your favorite Commissioner 86'd it).  

The argument broadly advanced over the past few months by the Deadspin staff—that the Pelicans do not deserve nice things for wasting Anthony Davis—is not a very good one.
