You do know Zion is out of shape right
Let's go Pels PHX,AZ
BI trade is cooking, just wait for 2 more weeks.
So why get a center if none of them can be on floor scoring to you. ZION HAS TO REBOUND PERIOD
If Brandon Ingram gotta take 8 threes a game. Zion should be required to get 8 rebounds a game.
The initial betting spread vs Chicago was Pels -4.5. This was assuming a full pre-season schedule, BI playing pre-season and a healthy Trey Murphy. Now the spread is Pels -7.5.
Let’s be real. It’s debatable that Ingram and/or especially Zion should ever play a preseason game since they repeatedly get injured. Why risk them in meaningless basketball?
Was thinking where is Ingram, just at least to see how he gels with Murray? 🏀🇬🇧

Congrats!
But I have no concerns about BI not playing, after seeing PG13 and Ja get hurt.
Congratulations, Jake!! 🎉💯🫡
Also, every dayer!! 🇵🇭
Start Missi problem solved. Why risk injury with BI in pre season just so you can see him play
