He averaged 25-7-5 in February playing only 28 minutes per game while being 62% from the field.

He just had a monster game against Lakers playing only 26 mins. He was unarguable.

This off-season is the perfect time to trade him because I don't think his value will be higher any time in the future.


Lakers had no answers for Zion.

He is a GROWN man even compared to Jemison, Lakers biggest bruiser.



couldnt believe how nimble he was yesterday; with tons of power at the same time. absolute beast.

Yeah, Zion was moving at another level. We tried to double him and didn’t work. He was getting to his spot and scoring at will.

First time Lakers gave up more than 102 points in about 1-2 months.

With Zion it’s all about weight and health. If he stays healthy, then he is a generational talent.

Not Yo Ham Lakers!

Zion is a great talent sure, but his career so far does nothing to make me think he is suddenly going to become less injury prone or not be constantly battling weight problems. If I'm NO I would absolutely cash out this off-season and get as many assets as possible for him.

The time to trade him was yester…years ago. Yes, plural, years.

Fans know who Zion is. So do GMs. Meaning Zion's value isn't going to change because he is temporarily playing well or temporarily sidelined. You know when you have Zion that you're going to get both.

Well, maybe you can fool Nico Harrison into thinking that Zion has permanently changed his stripes. Give Dallas a call, Pelicans. It's worth a shot.
