Zion Williamson?

lol wut

Revisionist history. Zion was supposed to be the next LeBron. Fans would have given up the farm for that pick.

Nope. He's a talented baller but Zion is built in a way that his knees are not going to hold up if he keeps playing above the rim basketball.

Sorry, you’re saying if Zion was in this draft that Jazz fans would offer the aforementioned?

No. I am saying that they would before the Zion draft when the hype was at its peak. I think most posters on this board would give up Lauri/Walker and 4-5 picks for Victor right now. The Zion hype wasn't significantly different.

Potentially on the move this summer, would you go after him?

Hmmm, might be buying low... probably need to see how he looks in a Jazz jersey YoungJefe

I think you are responding in the affirmative to my question because we didn’t have Lauri and Walker and picks in 2019. I laughed because it read like you were saying Jazz fans now would trade all that for Zion now which was demonstrably false. I get the gist of what you’re saying now.

I don’t know what other Jazz fans felt about Zion but I thought he was incredibly overrated because he obviously wasn’t taking care of himself then and he didn’t show a great amount of basketball skill at the time.

I don’t think the comparison is all that salient for Victor as he is devoted to being actually good at basketball, preparing his body, and having his head on straight.

But he’s tall and skinny! Yep, we’ll see what happens. What differentiates them is not that they are opposites in terms of the nature of their freakish physical attributes, it’s that one is and always has been a clown and the other is serious.

Absolutely. He could literally be the face of Zion’s Bank, if that wouldn’t motivate him then idk what would

If he worked on a Tim Duncan mid-range glass shot, he would be blessed with endless bolerisms that may end up being an official sponsor that replaces the Mountain America / Pura / Habitat for Humanity three pointer.

For the right price I would definitely take a risk on Zion. My price though would not be what the pelicans would take though. For me the price is Kelly O, THT and the minny and cavs 2025 1sts.

When he plays he is top 5 in the league. You are kidding right?
Pels wont trade him for anything short of a similar impact rookie and we have none

He doesn’t play though. And it’s basically because he likes soda and **** more than basketball. Dumbest **** I’ve ever heard.

Like I said in my post the pels wouldn't take that offer but that is the most I would do. His injury history as well as questionable work ethic are huge negatives along with him being in the 1st year of a 5 year rookie max contract. For that risk I'm only willing to give up 2 1sts that will most likely be outside the lottery.
