Will he last a single season in this league?

I think he will last ten or more seasons, however he could be a Hall of Famer or a huge waste of talent if health issues hold him down. Time will tell.

10 or more? How many will be in rehab? I think he needs to shed weight or not a chance he last past his rookie contract. He just cant play 82 games at that weight. Just my opinion.

Shaq weighed about 350. He played for a pretty long time. We have no way of knowing what the right weight is for Zion. I hope for us as basketball fans he has a very long and healthy career.

Shaq was 7-foot-1. Zion is 6-foot-6. Big difference.

Just reminded by the ESPN broadcast that this is now the second knee concern for Williamson since entering the league, with one on each knee. He also had it happen at Duke. Knees are a body part you don't want to mess with. I'm not calling his career over, but this could very easily turn into a Brandon Roy situation.

No market for Dieng

NBA always lettting me down with some player not playing for myriad reasons. Wish we could just keep people healthy for once.

Cautiously optimistic about this year..I like the vibe the team has around it, we'll see if it translates to a Denver/Brooklyn/Bucks type season

Preseason really tampered down my optimism. We looked really bad, like bottom 5 team bad. That would be a horrible season but at least great around lottery time. I'm still gonna stick with my thoughts before preseason though and say this team will surprise many casual NBA fans.

At the very least, I feel like there is a huge (like 70 percent) chance that Rosas makes some big moves this season if we are really bad. An NBA season presents many unexpected opportunities to make a move. A trade will go down we can't see coming to today. Every NBA season unpredictable things happen to create chaos and we all know what the great Petyr Baelish says.

We are at lowest point now: rookies are raw, veterans are after injuries, second star is struggling, coaching staff has first year together, bad contracts still hurt. We are a bad team, but it will be interesting how we will improve. Go Wolves!

P.S. No FA market next summer as many FAs have already re-signed. Next season I think we will use Dieng as trade asset to match salaries.

Is that tongue in cheek? Get it?

This draft class is huge. Watch out for Brandon Clarke, Alexander Walker, Tyler Herro, Hope Walker gets play time tonight.

That or Teague gets traded at the deadline for a contract that expires when Dieng does for some assets.

Lol alright. Bad debut for Walker. Still think the kid is basically the next Lavine though.

Sure, NYK are bad team. But Dejounte Murray is monster in defense. Happy to see Fultz playing well.
