yeah, no hyperbole there, JJ eviscerated Zion. And to say he addressed Zion about all this to the team to his face and nothing changed? what a bum zion is.

I’ve been saying it for awhile now. Zion needs to go. I think it’s what’s best for him and the organization.

Jesus.

Just when I was trying to be positive about it all this morning.

JJ eviscerated Zion and basically confirmed all of our worst fears. Zion is just what the rumors say: A lazy guy that never wanted to be here, doesn't give a frick about his teammates, this franchise, this city, or the fans.

Welp. frick.

You have to have him relatively healthy and on the court, or the return you get is total shite.

"a detatched teammate" from day 1.
so much so that JJ Redick had to address him in front of the team about it

Why do we even bother? Seriously.

AD was at least in and fully invested for like 5 years.

We took the AD situation and amped it up 100.

It's depressing to get confirmation from Redick as I always felt that there was always something missing when Williamson speaks and it comes across as unnatural and rehersed.

Yea, I was a bit surprised, watched a WDSU hit with Shamit, and he said he doesn't think Zion basically has any value right now. I don't believe that or at least it's hyperbole, but trading him this offseason is obviously just a no go.

The funny thing of all this, nothing changes for me. You still offer him the extension, and are happy if he signs it. And if not, and after he's gotten on the court to show he's still got it, then you trade him.

I agree with this completely. You get him signed long term if you can get it, not for having him, but having the leverage for trades in the future.

I had said earlier that Zion was getting near AD territory for me, but everything coming out has caused me to change that. I frickING HATE ZION. I hope his goddamn foot falls off. frick that fat piece of shite.

As said earlier, at least Toni gave us a few good years. Zion hasn't even given us a full season and is more illusive than fricking Bigfoot.

I really am not going to be surprised if the next things that come out are CAA leaks (Although...JJ is a CAA Client) that spin it towards Zion 's side and him needing a "fresh start" etc.

This is quickly getting towards irreparable.

I know it’s tough but you have to realize we are WAY past getting towards irreparable.

I honestly think we've passed the irreparable phase a long time ago behind the scenes, we are only now getting exposed to it publicly. It is VERY interesting that JJ of all people is the one putting this out there today, though.

Prove it by not signing the extension and taking that QO.

JJ (or the producer who gave him his "side") reads this board. Confirmed.
