Yeah how good is Harden after he started fsking his weight? The moment someone does that that means he aint a real superstar but is gonna get paid like a superstar. Also Zion isnt the best prospect since Lebron he just had the most hype since Lebron. Best prospect since Lebron is Giannis, people just didnt know it at the time.
means any potential suitor is less willing to trade for zion now and will force the pels to attach a first round pick or two to get off of his contract when he inevitably misses more games than played
Harden is 10 years older than Zion, in the NBA that is an entire careers worth of time. At 22 Harden was out all night at clubs drinking heavily and he apparently has always made poor food choices, he has still had a great career. Hopefully Zion gets it together, he just needs the right people around him, hes only turning 23 tomorrow. There have been plenty of players that have completely changed their diet and been ok, Zion's biomechanics are concerning though. Surprised the incentives to make this a fully guaranteed max are based on only making this years all nba team, kind of strange to have a $40M kicker hinge on one year's achievement only.
Honestly . . . . I would not go that high At this point . . . send him to Philly Him, embiid and PG can hold off and come back and just make playoff runs Rocket River
Less than a year ago, apparently the Rockets were ready to do something really stupid: "just Sengun" for Zion hell no
Zion is going into KAWHI Mode Only play them the second half of the year How could anyone *fix* him Guys like Him and Embiid - we say diet and exercise because they are simply too heavy but How does that explain PG13/Kawhi/Ben Simmons Is it mentality? Dedication? just fail bodies? Is Zion's tendons too weak for his muscles? Vice Versa? Can that be changed? The problem is . . . losing weight for him means losing muscle mass which may greatly impact his game. He is NOT Charles Barkley losing 100 lbs of fat HE is closer to 50 lbs of fat and 50 of muscle (Exagerrations) Rocket River
Yep, it was a bad take. I won’t stick to my priors. Dig deep enough on anyone that has been an active member for a decade and you’ll find a bunch of freezing cold takes that aged like milk.
nobody wants to even give up a first for zion now like a dud bottle rocket pels would love to trade him for ayton at this point portland doesn't even want to do that
