    Not high on Zion, but as a contract dump I could see it...

    Tell me what the cap space is being used on with more upside... it isn't Harden, Kyrie, or Middleton....

    I question whether Zion satisfies need in Portland as much time as he misses...

    I think Zion’s whole attitude to stay motivated, healthy and in shape stems from him just not wanting to play in New Orleans, like when harden showed up to training camp all fat and out of shape to force the rockets to trade him.

    Sometimes the lightbulb goes off and kids grow up, Zion is still a kid....there is time. Get him around a group of hard working guys and he will conform.

    If his light bulb goes off that’s 30ppg at 55% or better clip. :eek:

    That is why you take the risk, his ceiling is higher than ANYONE on our roster, he has all time great potential.

    Even if he realizes his potential and stays healthy, has any #1 player on a championship team had these kinds of motor and attitude issues? I can't think of one.

    Seems to me the rox are fine with either trading or keeping the pick.

    I guess people already forgot about the T-Mac and Yao era.

    We're not getting him for just the #4 pick because they want Scoot in return and if Scoot drops to #4, we'd just draft him ourselves.

    This whole thread is pointless because this trade will never happen with us. I could see it happen with the Hornets though, #2 pick and they love injury prone players that make them mediocre year after year.

    Turning a "potentially interested" hearsay into "Rockets want to trade 4th pick for win now vet", how is this thread still up with this clickbait title. :confused:

    Would probably quit watching basketball if we trade the 4th pick for Zach Lavine
