Watching basketball for infinite years still wouldn't make this take good. To say that we should trade Zion right now is objectively one of the worst takes I have ever heard.

what'd those 35 years of experience see in the 20 games Zion played before the lockdown?

I've been watching ABA/NBA since 1970 (50yrs), so my take is better than yours.

He's just fat as hell right now. He has the talent and ability if he can figure out his weight and conditioning issues. If he can't get himself into shape after turning pro, then he'll never do what was expected of him.

Thank you.

That’s all I am saying.

We have a guy up in Philadelphia that has unlimited potential but cant get his mind right.

Zion is possibly injury prone and it looks like he doesn’t have his mind right.

Again, bookmark this.

I think you're confused. That was you looking in the mirror.

It is obvious his knee injury was way worse then they let on. No way a 20 year old can't get conditioned. Its not like he could only play in 5 minute bursts at Duke

He was already in poor shape at the draft prior to the knee injury. Listed at 285 he's already the third heaviest player in the league only outweighed by two centers that are 7'4 and 7'5 and I'm positive he's not truly at 285. He looks 300+. I'm not saying he isn't capable of getting conditioned but since he left Duke, we haven't seen it. Hopefully after the end of this season they figure out a way to trim him down to 265-270 (which won't happen).

He played 19 games before the shut down

Maybe the 19 games before the shutdown

The 13 points in the 15 minutes he played bs the Jazz.

Everyone is also an expert on what 300 looks like.

I guess that makes you an expert and you know more than the executives in the NBA. Either you are trolling or you were watching Australian Rules Football thinking it was the NBA. What trade would you propose?

Except that he is not. I love how someone on a message board knows more about his body type and fitness level than Aaron Nelson and his staff. You know, the guy everyone here envied the Suns for having because he helped prevent injuries there.

Its easy to prevent injuries when you never let said injured player play.

Hey scoop just save ur breathe cuz these fans just want highlights and dunks no rings. Obviously they dnt even kno who tha pels best player is. With 10 secs left and ur down by 2 will they give it to ingram r zion? I think ingram will hve tha ball to create a shot but hey all tha fans want are dunks and highlights though. Its obvious zion is out of shape but hey tha fans want him in cuz they want dunks and highlights. Dude been out for over 3 months and came bac looking like all he did was play 2k and eat frozen pizzas. Yall keep bringing up those 19 games but hell dat was over 3 months ago ur trying to win tha playoffs now. If ur really a bball fan u can tell that he is a liability on d amd his weight tires him out so thats why he plays n quick burst. If he doesnt develop a jumper its over for zion. Those 1st 19 games players didnt kno how to defend zion. Look at the 2 games he played n and count how many offensive fouls he committed. Players kno to treat him just like giannis, give him the jumper n crowd the lane.
