zion isn't even that much better inside as morant is nifty as Tatum going to the hole.

they both averaged 26.
morant 5.9 boards
zion 7
morant 8 assists
zion 4.5

morant makes defensive plays with the game on the line.
zion doesn't.

I didn't design the trade.
in nfl you can have result contingencies.
in nba can new orleans say in this deal, we get a first in 2025 off memphis if morant misses even one game due to new thug videos or an incident at 2 am.

Well, then go to the Grizzlies board and be happy when he comes back from suspension.

He is absolutely not.

DBPM
Z 1.0
Ja .5

Zion, and some forget this because it feels like he hasn't played in forever, was actually using his size on smaller guards very well on switches.

I was going to pick apart how wrong you are about the rest of the post but

Get out. Get the frick out. You haven't watched one damn game with Zion if you think he's a far, FAR more efficient scorer than Ja because he's just big.

He's on the shortlist of worst perimeter defenders in the NBA.

Giannis will never have as much skill as Morant either, not terribly relevant.

Health is an issue, but when both are playing, Zion is better and it's not terribly close. Take it a step further, the Pelicans team is better when Zion is on court than the Grizzlies are when Ja is on the court. That is not my opinion, that is a fact.

He’s never going to be able to live that post down, is he?

Celt is an odd fellow with some old school takes, but this is really bad and doesn't make sense to me.

He’s going to have to disappear for a while after that scorching hot take.

I hope he learns.

but so far he's just powerful.

I better look at YouTube for zion high lights.
I missed his skill exhibitions. all I know is I saw him practice after a game and he was using bad form. all arms.

I will be happy to stand corrected if I ever see him do anything the least bit slick or interesting.

Bruh. He was crossing people up at 20 years old at the top of the key.

based on your comment I will look for highlights.

its been a miserable season and I'm sulking.
no zion.
no Adams for memphis so Davis pushed them around. he crashed into morant.
brooks got him in the balls for that one. missed Adams in that series.
no herro for Miami.
no Giannis.
dadburn.

clarify for me, do you see anything to zion's
game besides power to the hole and rebounds?

his point zion is because he has no game back to basket and no moves if he gets the ball 45 degrees and away from the basket.

what am I missing?
26 7 4.5
that was 22 23.
