Trade Zion and his step dad
Lool😂 at least the pels has a warranty on Zion’s contract 😂😂😂
zion is yao ming and brandon roy
Primer comentario quien es el segundo
Facts …zion needs patience …now if get cousins back …it be cool 😎
Zion needs to play defense for the saints…he is to big for basketball
Man it’s crazy how teams are willing to throw away season after season. This guy is hurt every year and will never play to the potential they thought he was going to be coming out of Duke. You have a good young hungry team. You should trade him while he still has a little value. I’m getting Grant Hill Penny Hardaway vibes.
OKC eliminates The Pels but no let’s all give the media coverage about someone that hasn’t featured Zion. Bogus sport medias🤧
Nahh Zion needs to go, we don’t need him at all
This guy is a boring clown. Who actually listen to this guy💀💀

McCollum/Richardson
Ingram/Jones
Randle/Murphy
Valanciunas/Hayes
Knicks:
Brunson/Quickley
Barrett/Hart
Bridges/Finney-Smith
Williamson/Sims
Robinson/Hartenstien
Mavericks get 13 1st rounders for Luka, & can still move Kyrie & C-Wood for more assets
Nets gets 3 1st & 2 young players towards the rebuild
So, do u really think guys saying 'u shouldn't trade Zion' would have the same energy if it were their team? Goin by 'if he's there' logic won't win games, all the 'when he's there' stats, won't win games.
Zion is a great talent but I just don't see him ever playing more than 50 games. So far he gets hurt more than AD
They need to focus the team around Ingram and let Zion play second fiddle. His body can’t handle being Point Zion 35minutes a night.
Only player I would trade Zion for is for Luka. If that happens I’m all for it.
Im deutschen Profi-Fußball gab es einen Bastian Deisler, Spitzname Basti Fantasti. Der Mann hat seine Karriere vorzeitig beendet und mehr möchte ich dazu nicht schreiben. Zion sagte kürzlich selbst, dass er körperlich in Ordnung sei, aber sich noch nicht so fühle wie der Zion. Wenn nicht der Schinken zwickt, dann zwickt die Rübe?
Strangely calming listening to bobby talk nba
You can't dream and live off potential all the time. He's getting millions. If he values his future in the NBA, he should invest in his health like LeBron.
He's truly a generational talent so I think they stuck keeping him, and while I hate the idea of load management in general, he may be the type of player that you really do have to load manage to keep him available throughout the year.
Trade that fat dude
Who wants a great expensive tool that doesn't work?
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life. Life was hard for me until I started trading bitcoin and am now earning $20,000 per week.
When Zion was playing the pels we’re at the top of the standings!
Should be traded for a Philly Cheesesteak. Which he’d promptly eat.
The best ability is availability. At the very least enough of it to give your team a fighting chance in the dance
Trade Zion for anything you can. He will never be there when you need him, he is washed at this point. 4 years and only played in just over 100 games, it was a failed risk and it is time to move on.
I would trade Zion in a heartbeat. Give me a first and a second with the potential to make it a second first if he plays 50% or more of his contract and he’s yours.
The pels are too soft, even without Zion. They should move him now while they can still get the most for him. They can get a more reliable star or a group of players that contribute more overall. They need some real dawgs! Not just some fake GTA sitting on the bench.
