Unfortunately Zion will be too.

Wiggins was hyped the same and got traded as soon as LeBron touched down.

Zion hype is way bigger than wiggins hype we haven’t seen this hype since AD and I’m not sure even he got this much.

I kinda wonder if KD would even want to banana boat on a team with AD, I mean isn't he allegedly leaving because he wants to enhance his legacy and win as the man in NY and not on another ridiculously packed superteam

That was his high school hype but he was pretty underwhelming at Kansas. His numbers we're actually pretty similar to Knox's at UK. Zion has probably been more dominate than his high school hype predicted. Let's compare both Zion and Wiggins freshmen stats.

Wiggins averaged 17 PPG 6 rpg 1.5 apg on 45% fg% and 34% from 3
Zion averaged 22.6 PPG 8.9 rpg 2.1 apg 2.1 steals 1.8 blocks 68 from the field and 34% from 3

IMO they're not even close to the same talent level

I agree about talent level. I’m only talking about hype. I don’t think I was big on Wiggins at all but everyone else was bugging over dude.

But you’re right, could have been high school.

I don't think kd and ad are close tight friends like kyrie and kd i could be wrong. I think if the knicks get 1 pick and select zion i think both kd and kyrie would come play with him.

no lol. it’s an overpay anyway.

the way people are assuming kd wants another lebron to miami scenario is dumb af. it’s bad for him to raise expectations. much better to emphasize development and street ball culture with kyrie and the kids.

What is Boston going to throw in to overcome that? The Sac pick value plummeted, Tatum and Brown haven't upped their value at all.

Don't get me wrong I think Boston will be willing to make the biggest and best offer, as long as a team doesn't throw in Zion. Zion by himself is one of the biggest trade pieces in the game at the moment. It's not just on the court stuff, the amount of money Zion is going to bring a team will be ridiculous. That team is going to sell out every game and they will get a ton more nationally televised games.

Yeah his trade value is really high because he is box office. Pelicans have to consider that over any Boston deal

Yup.

On court potential: Zion
Box office: Zion
Cap situation: Zion

I just don't see any realistic offer that can beat a Zion offer.

Curious if you are serious. I am higher on Bol Bol than many, but am concerned about injury issues and his ability to play next to Mitch.

If the dream is forming a super trio with AD, KD and Kyrie we would need to attach other pieces to make things work under the salary cap.

But in a vacuum on an AD for Zion trade I would even demand Griffin to attach their first round pick to that trade or tell him to fuq off.

Exchanging Zion for their exiled star is giving him the golden ticket to save NOLA basketball.
