    Zion playing like a top 10 player is likely the team’s only path to being a good team this year.

    "Who cares (about Derik Queen) if Zion is averaging 30 points a game?"

    I care, Jake, and you should, too. Each transaction stands (or falls) on its own merit. And don't forget, we spent more draft capital on Queen then we did for Zion, himself…draft capital we'll never get back if Queen busts. So, you can bet your microphone, I care.

    Every day. Your thoughts strengthened my position that our Pels have the potential to be the surprise of the league. Good podcast, Jake.

    zion came into my bar when he was 21. i asked him how he found us. he said “well, everybody keeps saying that i dont want to be in new orleans, so ive been intentionally getting out in the neighborhood exploring my city and showing people i want to be here.”. nuff said.

    Joe? Zion has just been implicated in a 2.9 Trillion Dollar debt scheme which suggests that he along with many others have influenced the Country of God through token appreciations and other money laundering schemes which has upheaval the near future and beseeched the immediate past; our entire black culture hangs in the balance. It is said that if he don't come up with 100000+ odds to win the Championship at an indebted value of 100 Million; then somebody gets to halo gods name and I ain't acting like I'm sure what that means. He has but one place in the time to come, and that's D.C.:_ "I'm just checking the Ball and d'in down everything". 💌🏀💯🇺🇲🙏😇✌️

    Dumars was gritty. He played with gritty dudes like Rodman and Lambeer. Was all defense. Won championships. Then built champions as a GM after he retired and they were the most unexpected gritty champ I watched in my lifetime with an undrafted center and a bunch of players that people considered to be cast offs. So if anyone could get through, he might. But is Zion a student of the game enough to even recognize those accomplishments?

    Also if he is in good shape this year, I don't ever want to hear about it. That bridge is burned. If you want to "be in great shape" then show up game 1 in game shape. Because for years the last guy told us how great of shape dude was in, only for literally in game one to be sucking wind 4 minutes into the season. That's not hyperbole either. If you want him to be successful, he's got to quit smoking. It's not served him well. Too many games he's not fully there if you catch my drift.
