Dump Zion. Try to con Pistons for as much as possible for the fat slob.

Yes, they talked about how big Zion was b/c he looks huge.


I mean look...

Zion looks noticeably larger now than he did when he first came back from Nike. When he first came back we all thought "WHOA. He got in shape. Lets fricking go"

And he looks very portly again. That being said...the the dunks he was doing pre-game, he had noticeably more lift on than the ones he was doing a week and a half ago.

Kinda surprised that Nate Duncan was giving us praise considering the things he's said about us even recently in the past.

I know there is no way Hollinger was on with him because there's 0 chance he'd give us anything but backhanded praise.

The podcast is enjoyable. They weren't hating at all. Simmons says he thinks the Pels can win the series and even when they talked about Zion they were saying what they would do if they were front office of the Pels.

And when they brought up the refs they both agreed that it was mostly because the pels were attacking the rim and not because the refs were only calling it one way.

Russillo loves Chris Paul so he's going to be a little salty but honestly they talked positively about us for about 15-20 minutes. We're 2-2 with the one seed and have a bright future and national media is talking good about us. Things are good. Enjoy it. If you're mad listening to that pod then you're brainwashed into thinking everyone is out to get us no matter what.

It's honestly disheartening to see Zion still looking so heavy.

We can't him to succeed so fricking bad. It's almost like his body literally can't stop being heavy.

Idk bros.

I'm not saying I'm for trading him. I'm just asking what are some packages we could get and from what teams?

Clearly, the best scenario is he comes back healthy, in shape and ready to dominate.

Detroit was Simmons pick. No. 1 and some dude I never heard of for Zion. That obviously only works if Detroit even gets No. 1. And then who do we take? Probably have to be Smith.

But what other teams would even be an option?

I feel like this season has accelerated our timeline. We're in win now mode. We don't need a million more picks.

We need a legit stud to slot in at PF.
