How is this the leader of our team? We’ve heard about his major weight loss over the summer and reduced workload with our rookies performing, so why is he still the same defender he has been his whole career? Where does the weight loss show? Yeah we know the gravity he gets in the offense but at what point do we agree that it is time to trade him? This is never going to translate into a championship winning basketball if this is the effort you give with the game on the line. And this is coming from a big Zion fan who became a Pelicans fan becouse of him. I’m just sick of this by now. It’s year 7 and he is still a liability on defense and no improvement on his three point shot. There were rumours about Markkanen a few years back when he had no value but I would take Lauri for Zion 1 for 1 in a heartbeat. Thoughts?

Let’s talk about Zion

  1. Problem is no team wants him at this point. He’s an inside scorer that plays below the basket 95% of the time. Too big and slow to guard smaller players, too short to guard centers

  2. I mean if 30% 3pt shooter Naji Marshal wants to pull from the top of the key with 14-15sec left on the shot clock, I get it.
