Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Re: Zion looking good
Definitely looks better than he did in that Mountain Dew commercial. But still has plenty of ways to go. You can still see the big difference between his Duke days and now in the shoulder definition and jaw line. I still think his Duke weight is his ideal weight and that should be the goal he and the Pels should have for him.
It seems like every time since he has left Duke, whenever there was a long gap without basketball he would put on weight. So hopefully this summer that doesnt happen and he comes into next season close to that Duke weight. Again from those pics he definitely looks much better than he did in the Mountain Dew commercials so hoping he continues the work.

Re: Zion looking good
It's very possible that his weight is still too much for his knees no matter if he slims down, considering how muscular he is and how unhealthy his knees have been.
At this point, most people will believe when he can stay on the floor a whole season

Re: Zion looking good
Wait how much work could he have got done with all that jewelry on? Or is that the way players get work in these days.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Re: Zion looking good
How can anyone make an assessment of his weight based on those pics? He still looks just as chunky to me.

Re: Zion looking good
Its hilarious how a majority of RealGMers associate lack of vascularity with "fat." Zion's body type wont' allow him to be vascular unless he's at an insane body fat %, which is probably counterproductive for his play/style of play.

No one is saying that - they're saying he needs to be at his 'Duke Weight'
