Brian Windhorst on Zion Williamson contract: "The Pelicans, at this point are not willing to offer a full 5 year guaranteed deal... They will offer him a huge contract but will not guarantee all of it."
You’d have to consider it. Follow the Celtics example. Draft two studs (Tatum, Brown) trade for one star and sign another (Irving and Hayward). Injuries did them in but the plan was solid. If Paolo goes to Orlando and we end up with Smith then you could trade Wood, 2023 FRP, a Nets pick for Zion and then sign Jokic next summer. KPJ Green Smith Zion Jokic This is very possible with the assets and cap space. Getting a Zion talent in a trade is difficult if Stone wanted to cash in one or two of the Nets picks I wouldn’t blame him.
No to Zion, I don't get why people are enamored with him. He is not built for basketball, he is an injury ticking bomb.
How long since he last played? He ain't helping on the bench or when he blows out his knees 20 games into the season.
So what? He blew out his knees in his 3rd season and we havent seen him play since. Greg Oden was a HOF level player when he was 100% healthy but nobody gives a crap.
Well I would blame him for being dumb AF. Zion is damaged goods and on limited time. First he has to get in shape, and even when he does slim down you still need to pray he doesnt tear his ligaments every time he lands after a dunk. Kinda funny you noted injuries did the Celts in but still want the Rox to make the same mistake.
Shaq effect. When fools are bouncing off of you, officials subconsciously can't see those as the actual fouls that they are.
