Mitchell might be too similar to Trae in some respects. A healthy Zion could be transformative. Dont know how much injury stuff is real, and how much is just malingering to force his way out of NO. 

Both would be huge upgrades to the Hawks. Both are reliable scorers and are playmakers. Zion can pass very well. If Zion can get healthy and commit to healthy eating then he would be scary with Trae as Kirschner said in his piece.

He will need to get in a healthy playing shape before I believe he's just faking a foot injury.  

I know how you feel about weight, but he needs to loose some weight to alleviate the stress off his feet going forward.

He should use prime Chuck as his model. Charles was thick, but not fat.

When are y'all gonna realize the dude was an injury risk before the weight gain!?

Chuck to this day thanks Moses Malone for saving his career and adding years to his life by telling him he was fat and out of shape and he would be out of the league young if he didn't change. Moses worked with Chuck to lose weight. Zion desperately needs a veteran to do this for him since Zion seems incapable of doing it for himself.

I don't want Zion until he can improve his gait.  I mean that seriously too, like he needs to be able to walk like a human -- not a duck.  I don't know if that's weight issues or genetics or what, but every time I see that guy walk he looks like an injury waiting to happen.  It's not normal!!

 

This isn't even a great example!

Marvin had a 15 year career walking like a duck.

Don’t like the fit with either of those. Especially when it comes to how much theyll cost. 

I don't like Kirschner's fit with the Hawks. Why can't he just get replaced by Supes already?

We have a trade. I like it.

You pay incredibly close attention to the all star festivities huh.  Moses was the man, honestly though when he came to the Hawks, he was done to me, even that first year, he had lost 2 steps by 88.

Wait a sec then, so do Bogi and Luka. Bogi walks with his feet slightly pointing outward.

I don’t know, I kind of like the way he’s built he’s got that pigeon toe thing Nique had, I don’t know, I like Zion.

He’s dynamic.

Thanks Supes! (Burner)

[Spud2nique]

What kinda reminds me of Zion’s explosiveness in comparison to Nique is the pigeon toe explosiveness actually. 
 

Zion can do it. His team around him sucks though. Either that or he’s purposely tanking as a Pelican to get traded to a team he wants then dedicate himself 100%. If that’s the case, I don’t love it and players have too much power to be able to dictate where they end up. Just get in shape and play hard man you know how many people in the world wanna be in Zion’s position. Stuff like this annoys me.

For some reason though I still like him 100X more than Ben Simmons.

They were spot on about the 404's so I believe this is accurate as well.

Thoughts?

If a player is unable to commit to  maintaining his health (it’s a red flag.)

Chuck has said that about Moses since it happened when Chuck was still on the Sixers. He was furious when they traded Moses to the Bullets. 

By the time we got Moses he was on the last bit of his good years. If we had gotten him just a couple years earlier...

Where's the Hornets? Their current City edition is straight fire. Had to get a Ball jersey and shorts. 

Kinda meh about the Hawks. The rest of them don't look great. Maybe Dallas is ok.
