    Wasted potential. It's a no for me, although the NBA is better with Zion highlights.

    He will not ever be healthy and this is not just a diet issue

    Says Embiid....

    Some players are worth the gamble...a MAYBE player in Thompson for a PROVEN Hall of fame level player in Zion if healthy, def worth a risk.

    As a person who has worked with normal and professional athletes bodies for about 10 yrs (10 yrs ago) I am telling you he has one of the worst (if not THE worst) biomechanics I've seen in the NBA. Said that multiple times throughout his career and I've been spot on so far. His weight, power, and biomechanics are a recipe for a short career

    Absolutely worth it , you take the risk, if it only cost the 4th pick unproven player , couple of nets pick and some combination of players in kmj Tate garuba Matthews Christopher , etc you do it, yeah he's hurt but every year players miss extended time , kawhi, embiid, ad, kyrie , Durant , pg13 since joining Lakers Lebron , they all miss game u just gotta hope basketball gods don't kill him with food, we can trade for Jaylen brown no injury history like that but you never know you get him and then he starts getting hurt. So when you get a chance like Zion who is Hof when healthy you take the risk especially he's only 23-24

    Zion will never be healthy but I’d risk it hoping a change of scenery and a legit coach can turn him around

    I don't trust the "Overweight Lover" to get a hold of himself.

    Sure. If there's anything I learnt from the Yao and T-Mac era is that it's a joy to have a key cog that can't be relied upon to be on the court.

    If they will take #4/#20/KMJ/Christopher/2026 Brooklyn pick then sure I guess.

    It’s tough because he has MVP level talent but “If Zion could stay on the court” is getting into “If Ben Simmons could develop a jumper” territory.

    If Charlotte trades with New Orleans and New Orleans drafts Scoot then the ball is in Portland court to draft Miller or not...

    Folks I've followed Barlowe5000 for practically minutes, hours even.

    One thing i know, when he reveals one of his BarlyLegals - you're getting real deal stuff.

    Zion to Houston. Lock up your buxoms.

    Out of curiosity, what's your take on Chet Holmgren?
