-17 and not on the court when the game is in the balance says it all.

Lol no it doesnt.
Since borrego ball hes averaged what would be a career high in ts% (65.6, very elite), and posted a 4.8 BPM. We've been better on offense with him on the court with Borrego.
I hope other GMs are looking at this. We gotta hope herb comes back to clean up the defense enough to string some wins to get max value for this dude

If he's on the court, the team doesn't win his minutes regardless of how many empty numbers he puts up. (Operative word: TEAM)
If it was just about his 'Fanboy Numbers" he would have a market, but, as we know, he doesn't.

Well that's also a team problem. We know Zion cant carry a team and this is probably the worst squad weve had from a defensive standpoint. The fact remains that we're better on offense with him on the court

It’s been all downhill since his leg went thru his shoe

No, its been downhill ever since he left college, ate himself 30 lbs heavier and fricked his meniscus.

All those players who were dumped because they 'didn't fit with Zion' have gone on to either maintain their play or flourish with their new teams. But, ZW, despite his improved physical conditioning, has seen his play wane (especially on the defensive end, if that's possible). Candidly, I wonder who didn't fit with whom.
His market value is at an all-time low (today, you'd be lucky to get a ham sandwich and a bottle of pop on the open market). If all you are looking for is a highlight dunk every other game, he's your guy. But if you'd like to see your team succeed and win games, look elsewhere.
I ask anybody to tell me how the almost $200,000,000 (after this year) that we have spent on our part time 'superstar' has been money well-spent. I'd be appreciative,
I'm sorry; I remember being so stoked upon his arrival. Sadly, today, I see him as a 'Paper Lion' who, for his team, has had the effect of a lost 'pussycat'
Minus 17 against the Nets!!!!!! Let it sink in.

Yeah, it's also about roster construction. The problem is that Zion needs to be surrounded by shooters, and we're horribly deficient in that department.

Now that’s a squad.
That is certainly not a squad

The other guys fit however they were asked to fit. Zion is the unilateral issue - hes an undersized, Uber athletic pf who is only good at one thing - finishing close to the rim.
If he was 5 inches taller, he'd be giannis but he isn't so you're stuck with him as he is.
Even giannis needs certain players around him to excel. The caveat being, at least giannis is a lengthy defender and taller who can rebound.

Lebron James is 41 years old.
Zion is 25 and healthy.
I went to the pelicans/lakers game and Lebron is a much better player and athlete, at 41, than Zion.
If Zion commits himself to the game and profession fully, he may one day be as good as 41 year old LeBron.
Zion is a 6th man on a winning nba team and a starter on a bad nba team.

Zion just doesn’t have that dog in him. Tonight’s 1st half against Indy he goes for 18 points on 8/8 shooting. Instead of saying I’m coming out of the half and scoring 50, he scores 2 3rd quarter points after standing on the perimeter the entire fricking time. It’s infuriating!
