If Zion ever gets in shape and healthy (a big if), he will have Giannis-level impact on the NBA.

He doesn't need to become a good jumpshooter so long as he has shooters around him because he's unstoppable when he attacks the basket. He gets to the rim with the ease of 2007 LeBron, and his finishing is exceptional. Give him a PNR partner and a stretch 5, and he will dominate.

If there's even a 20% chance he gets in NBA shape, you still get better odds of contending for a championship down the road than you do continuing to build around this core.

A healthy Zion is (at least potentially) in that category with Shaq, Giannis and LeBron as one of the most dominant forces the league has ever seen.

So the real question is, is he out of shape because he (quite clearly) wants out, or does have trouble self-motivating and he's just a waste of potential? The Knicks have to do their homework. Let's see if a trade is available in the coming months.

Zion has shown nothing but being overweight and injury prone, hence he makes perfect sense for him to be the first superstar to actually wind up in NY, he won't play more than 20 games as a full maxed 350 pound PF...it's destined to happen

I mean, that's got to take some of the joy out of it, if a guy sees him all the time since he's in the same area, and thinks he's not "decent" or "ok" or "bit of a project" but thinks he sucks and is one of the worst players in the league, you have to at least consider the guy is not that good.

Hope he's good. It's the Knicks, so we'll probably be disappointed. Nothing ever really works out.

he's either kevin knox with smaller feet or prime t-mac

also would like to note that i will undoubtedly hear e-balla screaming through a loudspeaker directly into my eardrums about what an absolute piece of trash cam is in my nightmares tonight. i appreciate the passion to disassemble this young man before he arrives but my goodness i swear i could smell the sweat on his face in some of those posts


Put some of that sweat in a vial. Combines well with eye of newt

I think Reddish is the type to have revenge games against his former teams. I hope he Evan Fourniers the Hawks for 41 points.

Kevin Knox was the longest tenured Knicks, which is crazy.

Mitchell Robinson is now the longest tenured Knicks, which seems insane.

Another good candidate for next year's slogan. Crazy & insane.


I love how you turn your personal issues into strategic initiatives for the Knicks

And if he does end up being healthy? Do you really want to pass up on the first fat superstar since Barkley?

The Charlotte pick could've been a throw-in that helps a trade for a young player who's actually good, like Haliburton.

Now, I don't know to what extent Haliburton's actually available, and maybe Cam will break his own pattern of efficiency and ball out with the Knicks.

But I'm not a fan of trading assets for mediocre players.

I'd rather have packaged the Charlotte pick, Obi plus the Dallas pick for Hali (not sure the Kings take it but it's just a general idea). Then you get a young player who actually helps your team and who can also be traded at a later stage for a star if need be.

I don't know.

you hope he works out. because in the last couple years, the knicks have done pretty well with late 1st round picks. and they're likely better trade throw-ins than he is.

the knicks gave up arguably the worst draft pick in knicks history and there have been many stressed out how good Reddish will be? I mean really, even if Reddish doesn't see the floor they basically got him for free..so stop acting like Reddish is some kind of star that is going to step in right away and be a star, the point is that he could be, while we know Knox will never be..

It's kind of cool that the trends that used to develop over weeks, months or seasons now get sorted in half a day

when it comes to digesting our grief, we've become rather efficient over decades of training
