Zion = Ben Simmons 2.0

I mean what else can you say at this point? It’s really similar, he’s not hurt, nothing wrong with him, he just doesn’t wanna play cause he’s not feeling it. Basically the exact same thing Ben Simmons does.
I know Zion is much better but you can’t have your max contract star player sit out for crap reasons like this.
We need to trade him, no way a team with Zion as their best player will win a title or be a yearly contender. Your best player has to have the highest expectations and has the most pressure on them. Clearly Zion, just like Ben Simmons, can’t handle the pressure that comes with being an all star.

You can’t trade him now because you’re nit going to get even 50% back of what he’s worth.
Zion is worth what Utah got for Mitchell AND Gobert, but tight now you would be extremely lucky to find someone that would give you a deal like Orlando got for Vucevic.

Lol Im pissed at Zion but this is way extreme. We wouldn’t even be in playoffs without Zion. Simmons cant even get in the rotation. Zion’s a fattie but when he us on court he dominates. Simmons sucks even when he plays.

We are sticking with Zion and he is sticking with us. If that changes sell the team

Sell the team instead of trading Zion?

Didn t he win defensive player of the year? He was also first team all defensive teams a few years.

So you think we'd be lucky to get an offer of say:
Corey Kispert
#7 pick this year
future Washington 1st
or
Kuminga
lets assume we do'nt want anyone else on their team but tell GSW to go get a top 10 pick, which i'm sure they could do.
and then a future GSW 1st
That's what you think Zion is worth right now?
I know he's not at his peak value right now, obviously, but we'd still get a good starter or two and several 1st round picks for him, and when i say good starter i mean Tyrese Maxey, not Tobias Harris.

He's still only 22 years old. But, yes... it's been a disappointing start to his career.
I give him one more off-season to really invest before cutting ties. He's seen his and the team's potential when healthy. The issue now is that I doubt we get anything of value back in a trade.

No Play, NO PAY.
Anybody else not mentally feeling like getting up every morning at 5 am and going to work?
Can you feel it?
The motherf-cking playoffs have started and this 22 year old guy is acting like a total weak arse pussy after missing 3 months for a 30-45 day injury.
This bum makes AD look like the Man of Steel ...

Here’s my response to that. If you acted that way, do you think your boss would tolerate it? Of course not. Question is why does Zion’s boss tolerate it and if he doesn’t whats going on with thus franchise. When there is dysfunction blame should lie with Griffin as well as Gayle.

Exactly - WTF is up with these guys?
Posted on 4/11/23 at 5:08 pm to saintslsupels
Zion is a clown.
Posted on 4/12/23 at 4:25 am to Soggymoss
No he is not. In your mind that’s what you expect him to be worth….but he is worth a mid tier all star at this point. Maybe we can get lucky and get a player for player trade with Trae Young.

It won't be long until the Pels and/or Zion announce that he's stepping away from basketball to focus on some mental health issues.

What a treat for New Orleans to have Zion and MT at the same time. Maybe their periods will align and they can go thru it together

maybe now, but you can't say that about him in his first 5 years. and what if that is what happens to Zion? Don't act like Simmons was unplayable before all of this.
He made 3 all star teams in 4 years. How many all star teams has Zion made in 4 years? You know how he was able to make 3 all star teams? b/c he only missed 34 games in a 4 year span (after not playing at all his 1st year). Zion has missed 204 games in his 4 years.
Doc, Philly, Embiid, they broke Simmons. I don't know what the hell is wrong with him, but he'll snap out of it eventually. Philly did the same thing to Fultz, and it took him some time to get back to being a good basketball player.
