No reason Zion can't be a superstar if he works hard and manages himself well.

As far as Ja, don't worry about what us fanbois are saying, just sit back and enjoy the show! And don't touch his cards at these prices... (more for the rest of us.)

I just sincerely miss watching Zion on the floor, cards or no cards.

I think a lot of us Zion fans are frustrated after impatiently waiting for next year to arrive only to find out—surprise! He had surgery and there is no timetable for his return.

Zion on the floor equals buckets/pure entertainment. There’s no speculation there. We just have to hope these injuries aren’t the norm. It’s compounded by the fact that he gets deconditioned faster than your average dude on the IL so recovery/reintegration to 100 percent game ready gets tricky.

Both the talent and concerns are real. I’ll be rooting for Zion the whole way while approaching with caution in the hobby. If he gets past his injuries, those who have held will most certainly be rewarded. I would just caution people against getting over leveraged in any player whether it’s Zion, Ja, Luka etc. etc.

Now can we please get this guy back on the floor? I’m having withdrawals.

I’m as big a fan of Zion as anyone. I basically have a Zion shrine in my house, but that video of him doing some work before the game tonight…maaaan he looks bigger than ever. I’d be very surprised if he’s ready to play before Christmas

You have a link to the video? Or was it in the pelicans telecast?

He never does his self any PR favors rockin multi layered Roseanne sweats, does he.

Hard to tell. He appears to be bigger, but his lower half has always been gargantuan. /pause

Reminiscent of how he looked in his debut.

I'mma reserve the tea spill until after he disrobes. /also pause

At least he's running side to side and shedding the linear restrictions. That's a dub.


Now gimme the damn MRI results, Griff.

I agree - I’m buying Ja at these prices. His game has hit another level this season. Even without a jump shot, he’s quickly developed into one of the most clever offensive players in the league. I think the run-up is warranted and sustainable.

I also think Luka’s sluggish start will contribute to a rise in Ja’s prices as people look to other guys to throw money at.

Luckily I kept all my Jas and didn't panic sell when he fell off a cliff during the second half of last season.

Why not boaf? Some of ya'll Jabois be entering MJ/Bron Luka/Trae levels of wanting it to be one way or the highway. Maximalist investerboi psychology fascinates me. It is theoretically possible they are both really good players. One just happened to be the first to don an all-star jersey.

Chuch.

I had to remind myself what (powerful) barge arse is capable of.

Not usually a fan of music in my ball highlights but this isn't too intrusive.

My favorite was the free throw sequence when he strips Lee like hulk and finishes

A few Mosaic beauties end today. All well out of my budget already but nice to see them as I haven't really before.

This thread was the 1st thing I thought of when I saw the video this weekend... WTF?!? Where is the Pelican's staff/management during this fawking melt-up... lol, yes melt-up? If you have an asset like Zion that you bet he house on how can you possibly let this happen? We can blame Zion for establishing the first ever direct body input link from Mickey D's, but I am going to lay a huge amount of blame on the Pelicans... totally disgusting....

Zion out at least 2-3 more weeks... But the scans are always 'good.'

Lol. Free the chunk!

Getting imaged in 2-3 weeks, then cleared for full practice if the scans are good. So best case scenario you are probably looking at 4-6 weeks before a return on a minutes restriction, and God knows how long before he's cleared to play with no restrictions.

He'll take his sweet time so when they're 2-17 when he returns, nobody will blame him for refusing to sign an extension.

Is there actual proof this fudgecake broke it in a game or is the team simply hiding that this cripplepotamus broke it doing something moronic?

Bought tickets to see the cripplepotamus (great nickname) later this month. Now looking like a 2% chance he plays. Here's to hoping he debuts in that game... otherwise I'm screwed!

This is an 8 week injury for any other roleplayer in the league. But they're tiger mom'ing their curvaceous nest egg AD style. 2019 should have given us a hint.

It is what it is.

Let the foot fetishists famine 'til X-mas, tank for Holmgren, and ship Travis Kelce.

As someone who has experienced this... yes 8 weeks, healed but returning to full force usability...meh, it can take MONTHS! Even to today 14 months since my injury I experience pain and perhaps scar tissue or inflaming after long use. I go 99% of the day not even thinking about my foot but at night I feel it. The bone can heal, the things around the bone can be complicated but yes he should be fine.
