Would you trade Sengun/Tate/2023 1st unprotected for Zion?

The man isn't worth all the trade assets, he is unavailable the majority of the season and the pelicans have been more than accommodating for him. Watch him demand the bag when his rookie contract is up.

Will he suddenly have a resurgence like embiid after many injury plague seasons? Who knows, it just ain't worth the risk.

 

If New Orleans trades us to him that means they don’t believe in his ability to stay healthy so why tf would we trade for him ? He was a flash in the pan. Al P alone will have a great career and Tate is a good player plus a pick? Bruh

 

Sengun is already more valuable than Zion.

 

If Zion was healthy he would never be traded and likely a top 50 layer all time median outcome.

He isn’t though and should not even be taken a chance on in my opinion.

 

Looking at the poll result, most people seem to think you are the deluded one.

HILARIOUS

They aren’t trading him for that. Likely they will keep him and ride it out if the offers are for less than 4 firsts or equivalent in young talent. NOLA might assume he’ll only play in 30% of his future games and still think that is better than trading him for a moderate trade package.

So the poll likely is moot. The question should really be 4 firsts or equivalent. For the Rockets heck no, but I get why NOLA with the team they have would have such a high price. They don’t really NEED to trade him but if he plays they are a contender.

 

Still no.

At this point I don't have much hope for Zion sticking around in the league a whole lot longer

Dude got his bag and just wants to enjoy life. He's one of the 50% Bev was talking about

 

it's sad we will probably never see a motivated Zion. Truly an electric player when he wants to be.

Different sport but reminds me a lot of Ronaldinho. Probably the most talented soccer player of all time but was more interested in partying than perfecting his craft.

 

It's crazy that a fat, unmotivated Zion can average 22/6/5 on a .6 TS% with no semblance of a 3 point shot. Imagine if he had Kobe's drive. What a waste.

 

Zion looked unmotivated and played passive last night against the Lakers. If I'm the Pelicans, I'll be looking to trade him soon.

 

i wouldn't trade a soul for that fat lard

 

I always wondered how good Oliver Miller could have been if he hadn’t ate himself out of the league.

 

Ronaldinho x10000 times more talented and accomplished than Zion though. What have Zion accomplished?
