The fact they were tied for first in the conference for a minute before Zion went down is why they won't give up on him. He has franchise altering ability.

It's on them to ensure this guy gets in tip-top shape and stays there. He clearly isn't like Luka who can show up however and remain relatively healthy and play through whatever.

He'll be gone by next February. Don't see any way he continues his career here after this regardless of the public juelzing by Larry Nance and the FO. Willie and Griffin will be following shortly after as well. Pathetic organization, somehow even more inept and useless than the Saints were this year... :pacspit:


:smh: :snoop:

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
Can't even completely enjoy this lakers collapse/AD failure because you know who can't get right :unimpressed:














But I still enjoy it a whole lot tho :mjgrin:
These nikkas woulda went to the finals if they could stay fukkin healthy smh. Zion weight clause kicks in next year, bro has been right at or well over 300 pounds since he debuted against the Spurs his rookie year, he was slightly bigger than Duke size during them exhibition games when he barely missed a shot (74%) thru 4 exhibition games.

When breh came back from the meniscus, he was a lot heavier and less explosive, still dropping 25 in his sleep. 285 is perfect for his game and that's the Duke frame, that nikka was literally all muscle and no fat, faster than everybody and stronger than everybody. Literally the most athletic person I have ever seen. More than MJ. More than Vince. More than Bron.

Bro has been seen in a couple pics recently looking slimmer than I've ever seen him look. I think next year is gonna be the one where the nikka finally gets his body right and goes out of his way to play every game. If bro came in at 285 he would shatter NBA records. He already broke records with an extra 20 pounds on him, at 285 dawg will be on some 35ppg type shyt on 70%.

Don't need to give Griff ten years. 4 years is more than enough time to build a playoff team.

Zion and BI had their most healthy seasons under Stan. Clearly, he was doing something right and that bozo Nelson was doing something wrong.

League babies these players too much instead of building up their conditioning.
