    Gordon used to be injured all the time in NO

    Rockets can turn around Zion like they did Gordon

    I'm all for it

    Helllll no. Worst place for Zion to go is anywhere in the south. He needs to go to cali where everyone is a health nut. Can you imagine all the restaurants he’d have access to in Houston?

    He is too fragile for my liking. If he could stay healthy his name would never come up in a trade discussion.

    An “embiid turnaround” is still missing 15-30 games a season… I wouldn’t trade many assets on him. Just too risky given his body/health/apparent lifestyle.

    Can't we just get his AAU teammate, Ja?

    I'm ok if he misses most of next year.

    Zion is good when he's on the floor but I don't think he'll ever be able to control his weight.

    So tempting but we know the outlook just isnt there for him physically. He also is immature beyond belief.

    Having 2 starters with 0.7 3PA is such a good idea! Lets do it!

    I don't trust the source. And if the Rockets are interested in him, they better have a really good idea of what they can do that New Orleans isn't doing to keep him on the court. But if they believe they can keep him on the court, I would be thrilled. He's one of the most fun players in the world to watch when he's healthy.

    Rockets can pay me $33M to sit on the sidelines. Hell, I’ll do it for free. [​IMG]

    On his podcast Sam Vecenie was just discussing NOLA trading either Zion or Ingram for #2 to take Scoot, not so much for talent/fit reasons, but mainly because their roster is about to become very expensive despite their not really having won anything.

    I wouldn't trade any of our core players for Zion, but picks? Yes.

    I don't know, but Zion Williamson is too fat and refuses to take care of himself, so a solid no on passing him up. I rather take my chances with the 4th pick. If you want an injury prone man that only plays 25% of his games, that's fine, I don't though.

    This is a wildly inaccurate statement.

    He plays in far more than 25% of games.
    It is 34%.



    .... ouch
