Can we even trade Zion this year?
I thought when someone signs a max extension they can't be traded until after year 1 of it?

wrong... i said around 75% of A season... as in a regular 82 game NBA season... i'm saying that if we got his games played high of his career, of 61 games, it would equate to around 3/4 of the season played... still missing around a quarter of the season... it's a hypothetical forecast, and given his history, there's no reason to hope for anything better than that, honestly...

If he puts in a full 82 this year


The "good" news is that his prolonged absences from the injuries he's had, almost assuredly have nothing to do with physical issues (other than weight).

The pure truth is probably that Zion's physical questions are overstated...but his mental questions are understated.

How does Zion=Championship? He has never played in the playoffs or in a real pressure situation. We aren't a top team with him, 20 game sample sizes be damned.

I just want a fun team that wins more than is loses filled with decent people that try hard. A championship would be nice, but it's not the end all. I don't think winning it all cracks the top 5 of organizational goals..

I root for dudes that give my team the best chance to win a title.

He has proven time and again that even when you send 5 defenders at him, he can beat them. For a handful of teams with the right set of defenders, they do seem capable of slowing him down by dedicating 3 defenders to him, pretty similar to our strategy against Dame in the playoff sweep. But if the worst matchups for the Pels need to dedicate 3 defenders to Zion, then Ingram, CJ and Trey need to step up and make guarding them with fewer defenders a math problem the other team can't solve.

I thought you were done crying? Didn't realize you had a little more in you. Just go ahead and get it all out so you can move on from this multi day meltdown. You're carrying this into multiple threads, I'm embarrassed for you right now. Just finish it up all in your next reply so we can move on.

I don't know Zion. I was just hoping you're done now, but apparently the crying will continue.

So, go on...keep crying.

fify

and replying to a comment, in turn, is not crying... if it was, wouldn't you ALSO be guilty of continuing "crying"?
