I’ll be glad when the Zion Saga is someone else’s problem

He's going to become a top 5 player in the league when he leaves us. Partly because he will naturally mature, but also he will play for an organization that isn't a total dumpster fire.

You know it's going to happen.

It’s a hard truth. Doesn’t mean we don’t have the pieces to build upon. Trae Young and a center makes us force.

I actually am optimistic. I’d trade Zion straight up for Young.

well thank goodness you are not gm

He’s gonna either eat his way out of the league quickly or bounce back and have 5-6 stellar years. Unlikely the stellar years happen here, just too much baggage and only a change in environment would shock him into attention, get him away from his entourage, etc. Hate to say it but I’m looking to trade as a hedge.

This is still true 1.5 years later.

I don’t think his body will allow this to happen. He will be severely limited.

This thread getting bumped is wild as hell and it shows how much my opinion has changed (or how much of a hypocrite I am) in a year, because I'm telling people in threads now that Zion being a lazy oaf isn't on the Pels as much as it is on Zion.

I guess maybe last year I thought he would mature with age, but now I just think he's a lost cause and will have the mindset of a spoiled child for the foreseeable future.
