Zion has been unavailable for the postseason four out of five years. Every time it's been due to a lower body injury.

It's not a matter of if, but when he will have a injury during the season that will make him miss at least a month. And despite whatever good conditioning he's in, the more minutes he builds up towards the end of the season, the more likely he will get hurt. His body will most likely never allow him to be a guy that plays 30+ minutes a night.

Its not that easy.

Count on Zion who is always hurt?


BI usually isn't this bad, but certainly isn't making progress to be the leader of the team. Serious reasons not to extend and max.
CJ / JV age
Trey, can't do anything but shoot 3s.
You saw tonight that Marshall and Jose are spark plugs, but you can't play them more than reserve minutes, too many liabilities.
Herb was great this year, but when you needed him to step up in the 4th he struggled.

Zion and Herb are the only ones i would keep if we were able to make something happen in 2025.

Pelicans are not close at all. Find a way to get more picks in 2025 Flagg, who could still grow an inch or so, would be ideal next to Z. All 3 top guys would be better than what we have.

Zion needs to expand his game. Constantly trying to crash through a double or triple team wall, to get a layup, is just inviting injuries.

He needs to incorporate some floaters, mid range and 3's into his game.
