Rockets want to trade 4th pick for win now vet might be interested in Zion

Trading a high draft pick for an overweight, always injured player.
Signing a max contract for an overweight, always chokes in the playoffs player.

Keys to a championship formula

 

a 34 year old Harden and a 34 BMI Zion, playing a combined 34 games next year.

Hakeem wore 34, the key to a championship #geamatria

 

If he was healthy and in shape you would do it in a heartbeat.

 

Not with that contract

mid love to facilitate tho

 

So this is the real reason Bari left the #1 jersey available.

 

If i was charlotte, no way i trade 2 for zion. I take who i prefer out of miller/scoot.

If i was portland, i would trade 3 for zion since im trying to compete with dame, and zion is young enough to build with.

If im houston, no shot do i trade 4 for zion.

 

No ****. But he isn't and never will be healthy. Also, they wouldn't trade a healthy Zion.

 

Tacos and BBQ > gumbo and jambalaya. He would lose 15 lbs before training camp. Hell, crawfish season may have helped him lay off the carbs.

1st team all NBA and a no-brainer for our hometown team.

 

He’s a millionaire, not a a civilian. Don’t matter where he goin go, mans goin eat regardless. you can send him to Montana and he’ll still be obese. Only way this deal goin work is if somebody follows him around and smacks foods out his hand when necessary

 

In the Battle of Fat, Houston vs. New Orleans is similar to King Kong vs. Godzilla.

 

Looks at Zions baby mother
Looks at Zions girlfriend

Looks at the Harden spends too much time in the strip club crowd

Bursts out laughing


Rocket River

 

Yeah, I didn't realize his contract was that bad until I just saw it. 5 years, $194 million. That's $40 million a year almost over the next five years for a guy who has played a combined 114 games in the four years since he's been drafted. That could end up being the single most crippling contract in the entire league. If I'm a rebuilding team with a top pick like Houston, not only am I not going to give New Orleans a top 5 pick for him, I'm asking what assets you're offering me to take on that albatross of a contract.

 

Houston has the medical tech to put in a gastric bypass

 

Yeah but how long is that gonna last though? He missed 1 entire season and then only played like 40 games last year. He's on borrowed time with his legs and play style. With all that sitting he's been doing I haven't really seen any expansion of game or skillset.

The biggest indication is NO who have seen him up close are giving up on him.

 

If I get serious for a second, there is a big part of me that fears the health of Zion and dreads the idea of being back in the situation we were in with Yao and McGrady, there is another part of me that remembers how injury prone Steph Curry was in his early years and thinks, "well maybe...."

 

LOL Eric Gordon in New Orleans vs Eric Gordon in Houston... Zion Williamson...

 

What else would it take for New Orleans to make that trade….

BK picks
Tari Eason etc….

 

If they want the 4 what else would we have to include, if anything, for Murphy III?

 

Underated post! Bravo...bravo!
