Can The Ainges Resist Zion?

I have been on the Zion train for a while now. It makes too much sense as a buy low. There are outs in his contract too. Sit him the rest of the majority of the season and get him in our facility and see if we can get him right.
 
Has Zion ever elevated the Pels? I’m avoiding him like the plague. He’s making 42 million+ the next two years after this year. And on top of that he’s injured all the damn time.
Motherfuddpucker, Thee is the voice of reason again?!?! What the **** is the world coming to?!?!1!
 
he's putting up the same 24 PER this season that he has every other season. not saying he's worth it, but his stats look fine.

isn't this the biggest concern with him?

Don't worry, plenty of people in our country have been conditioned to victim-blame this **** away. It's coming.
 
20% of his future salary gets guaranteed if he passes all 6 weight checkpoints during the year. Unclear what happens if he gets waived before all checkpoints are done.
40% is guaranteed when 41 games, if he gets waived before he loses the money.
20% 51 games
20% 61 games

Everything is based on the previous season benchmarks, so if he hit these in 25/26 then 26/27 is guaranteed for that percentage.
I had heard that was part of the contract but never seen it laid out so clearly (because I didn't care enough to even ask Alexa), so holy **** that is crazy! But I kind of love it. They need to add a clause "no rape or sexual misconduct". Maybe that is a bar too high for NBA players. :confused:
 
For better or worse, we would then officially have to change the team name to “Utah Power Forwardzz”.
Zion would have been the type of acquisition for the Layden-era Knicks when they accumulated every undersized (height) PF in the entire league.

In the good words of our president, “who hasn’t been accused of rape?”
