  1. who yall think should start at the 3 tommorow, Javonte Green, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, or Jamal Cain?

  2. Smh, this is getting outrageous. Dude can’t play 10 games without getting hurt. I know we’re not supposed to be mean as fans, but Jesus we’re paying this dude an outrageous amount of money. If you can’t stay healthy enough to stay on the court screw em.

  3. At this point are we sure it’s a Zion problem and not a New Orleans problem? Like we have so many injuries every year and Z never had this issue til he got here.

  4. I’m really tired man. Like, the organization has to actively pursue moving on from the Zion & B.I. Experiment

  5. I understood and supported keeping him after last season (given he ended up playing well and was injury free until the Play-in) but its time. I would trade him to any team that would take his salary. Check if Brooklyn would take him for Simmons and some picks

  6. Another chance to see how Zion rehabs and how quick can he come back. Again I can’t trust his body to stay healthy the way he plays

  7. This closes any window to trade him

    Starting to think that the best move might be just to let him hit the streets before a bunch of his contract guarantees this July

  8. In hindsight. Weird decision for Zion and the team to let him play vs Cleveland on the 6th.

    He was already sitting out due to the hamstring injury. Then he comes back . Supposedly tweaks it during the game and has to leave. But then still comes back to play the second half. Now the hamstring is injured for an indefinite time period.

    Should of took the cautionary route

  9. I’ve defended this man so much, at this point I have zero faith in him. BI wants to be here. Trade Zion, pay Brandon.

  10. Should we just let him sit 2-3 months and trade him? I mean, that makes the most sense right now.

    There is no point in continuing this clown show. He is who he is.

  11. Man i have defended this guys since day one but hes just not it. His game has not evolved at all and his body clearly cant hold up to being the number 1 option day to day. He can still be an elite second/third option but building a team around him at this point is foolish

  12. I wonder how much better off we woulda been if we just cut all ties with Zion and traded him after that Phoenix series. At that point he had barely been on the floor and just missed out on one of the funnest runs in recent memory. And because he barely played the emotional connection between Zion and the city wasn’t really much of anything either way and his value was still close to peak so it woulda been a good time to move on

  13. * Jordan Hawkins had a lower back strain disclosed on November 8th and is out 1-2 weeks (2 weeks is November 22nd).
    * CJ McCollum had a right adductor injury on November 1st and is out 2-3 weeks (3 weeks is November 22nd).
    * Herb Jones had right shoulder strain and small low-grade partial thickness tear in his rotator cuff on October 29th and is out a minimum of 2-4 weeks (4 weeks is November 26th).
    * Dejounte Murray had surgery on October 25th and is out 4-6 weeks (6 weeks is December 6th).

    Let’s say best case scenario, the team is fully healthy again December 6th and has to reintegrate Murray and Zion into the lineup. That’s 13 games away. Let’s say it takes another 10 games for them to find a rhythm together. That puts us around January 3rd.

    We’re going to be 33 games into the season before we know if this team is any good in an ultra competitive west where teams can’t afford to lose games. We literally need Jose and Trey to play at levels we’ve never seen before, and we need BI to play like it’s the playoffs against the Suns. Otherwise, we might have to blow up the squad and tank in January.

  14. And people were actually calling for a BI trade. As far as I’m concerned, it is his team to build with Herb, Hawk, and Trey. Missi was a nice addition and will prove to be valuable same as J Hawk has. The sooner we move on from Zion the better. I love him but we will never be a contender building around him.

  15. Can we just fucking trade him already?

    Honestly don’t care what we get in return at this point. I’ll take a no name role player and half a turkey sandwich

    Got downvoted last season for saying he will be another Anthony Davis who will miraculously be able to stay healthy as soon as he’s gone because this sub, for whatever reason, loves to be detached from reality and ride zions dick non stop.

  16. Zion needs to be traded for his sake and the team. Trade him to a team with a great training staff and see if he can stay healthy. Not sure what his value is at this point. 

  17. Just when you thought we hit rock bottom the floor gives out. Between the Saints and Pels, man I just am so tired of getting my hopes up every year to be let down yet again.

  18. Time to see if he has matured or not. In the past we would just expect he can’t come back from an injury.

    He needs to take his rehab seriously and get right.

  19. There should be no one here defending Zion, people on here was calling for BI head after his playoff performance. BI took accountability apologized to the fans and promised to be better and change his style of play more and so far has done that.

    In contrast Zion ending another season watching the team season end. You think the way that Lakers play In game went would have lit a fire under him but no he came back once again out of shape adding nothing new to his game. And let’s be for real Zion is out for the season because he is unprofessional he will not take his rehab seriously than when we try ramp him back up he will injury the hamstring worse we seen the same story before with Zion.

  20. Everybody wanted Ingram gone cause he didn’t fit but rn all we got is Ingram shit is crazy

  21. Alright im ready. Trade away Zion and everyone above the age of 26 other than Herb and DJM. Fire Willie. Send Griff packing too ideally. Embrace the tank.
