i think the time to move him was about a year ago. i can't imagine you can get a lot for him considering his injury history and how he often times doesn't look like his dominant self just because he's trying to protect himself from injury
295 is massive for a guy who is at the tallest 6'7". He would be one of the heaviest players in the league. And with his play-style, it is no wonder he is so injury prone.
@@PelicansCourtsideClub I don't know if anyone made that offer. Trades aren't only initiated by buyers. There were never any reports of the Pelicans putting CJ on the market. That is the point.
@PelicansCourtsideClub yes it is my point, I'm the one that made the comment. If you think there were no potential buyers for a combo guard, 20pt scorer on 45/41/79 shooting splits 5 assists per game over the last 2 years because CJ is in his early 30s then you're not paying attention to the market. And since when is CJ a 6th man?
Remember all the talks about trading Brandon Ingram? Just like clockwork, Zion goes down again. Ingram isn't a picture of perfect health either, but Pelicans should never rule out the possibility of keeping him and trading Zion.
@alantaraiza4045 but if he plays the full amount is the cap hold for the year. So even if he doesn't meet the requirements that happens at the end of the year which only helps the owner with a refund.
Trev it’s really irrelevant that his salary is not guaranteed. You have to trade assets for him, and its not like that 40Ms will be usuable for the team that gets rid of him. They wont create 40m of cap space with him gone.
hornets should get zion imagine Melo Zion and they can sign Lanzo that be the most watch team in the world Business wise 💰 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰and with right teammates they will win few championship
Zion is a borderline all-star when healthy, but given the fact he produces 0's in over 50% of possible games, I think the Pels would be better off with a reliable 10+ per game scorer who can space the floor and defend multiple positions.
Miami is a clean fit. Zion and McCollum for Butler and Robinson, with a minimum salary dumped elsewhere to make the trade legal. Miami gets the long term upside, Pelicans get a playoff superstar.
Zion has to be on a Team where the Organization/Coach will push Him similar to Coach K and in a City where “Bad Food” is not a Huge Temptation (No Southern Cities). In addition, a Team that wants to get rid of a Big Contract - CHI/LaVine and BKNY/Ben. It’s Hard for a Big Brotha to eat Chic(k)en Breast/Salad/etc. in The South (NO/ATL/HOU) - Lol!!!
@@TheBasketballBulletin yes along with whatever else they may want. I think its a win win milwaukee gets their future back and a potential player to build around, pelicans get a prime Giannis with ingram, mccollum, and herb jones? Thats TOUGH
@ its a business , shit happens you never know. Giving a team the ability to get their future for the next 3 years back along with a player like Zion is something serious to consider you dont just close the door on something like that. 2025, 2027 1st rd draft picks come back into play
Lakers moving Rui, d lo and jhs. Sure. Kinda a weird fit with AD and Zion. But the Upside is championship level. Omg imagine Zion and sengun. That's nasty for a long time if they can stay healthy. Houston could move Adams and Dillon Brooks. Which would be a good fit actually for the pels as well. Plus now they keep Ingram. Memphis doesn't make sense. JJJ is just as good as Zion. Plus Memphis only needs to trade for 100% healthy. The water in Memphis has injury poison in it or something. The clippers. Money wise is weird unless normal Powell is included. And why the heck would the clippers do that ? Chicago has a bunch of ways to make the $ work. Yet, I'm not sure the package the pels would want and how that would benefit them. I assume vucevick (spell check) would be part of that deal to generate a big. Atlanta .... That is a no brainer if the pels would take Clint capella and Larry Nance plus a ton of draft capital clearly. Atlanta should go in on this. They need a swing for the fence kind of move. This would instantly add some excitement in the ATL. I'd even watch some games if that happened.
I’m tired of the whole organization. Griffin was a de facto GM in Cleveland because we know who the real GM was there. Tears the whole thing down and start over.
hot take but maybe the Pelicans are a terrible organization who can't manage their players and that leads to their players being hurt all the time. AD was similar and after a few years with the Lakers he seems to be doing well now.

Zion is the perfect player for the Clippers 😅
😂😂😂
Gabe, JHS, Vando, Wood, Christie and a 1st for Zion
You think so?
@TheBasketballBulletin yup, he could carry on the tradition
Kawhi and Zion would be the Injury bros ♿🚑🩼🦽🦼
Zion has played for 184 games out of 410 possible games in his career and is currently injured. You would be a complete FOOL to trade for him.
Less than 50%
Only potential trade I could see is a tanking team taking him to harvest assets, like OKC did with Al Horford's 76ers contract.

The Pelicans took to long to see the writing on the wall. Should’ve cashed in on Zion and CJ long ago then negotiated with Brandon.
CJ should’ve been traded I agree
@@PelicansCourtsideClub for CJ, expiring contracts and draft compensation would've been ideal.
@@PelicansCourtsideClub there absolutely was. Zion's current market value isn't the highest it has been.

Clippers LOVE their part time injury prone load management players so why not team him up with kawhi!
Zion NEEDS to go to the Heat. Spo is probably the only coach that can get him right.
I think spo can do it also
I don't know about that, the say the ability to keep track of timeouts is the first thin to go!
Stop lying
@@frebur 😂
The problem I see is the cap hold is still the same large amount...
His next few years aren't guaranteed on his contract
@alantaraiza4045 but if he plays the full amount is the cap hold for the year. So even if he doesn't meet the requirements that happens at the end of the year which only helps the owner with a refund.

Didn't Embiid had a similar contract at one point?

Zion at a discount is a no brainer…BUT you need to get him In shape. If your team isn’t built around Zion, it might work out.

if people thought Russell Westbrook was a bad fot for LA then Zion is atrocious
Would prefer BI over Zion. He plays more & spaces the floor better. Zion is a ball hog who clogs the paint - chubby Westbrook. Hard pass.
Can see that
Bi Back to lal
The minute Zion is traded to another team at that moment health and conditioning will not be a factor.
He should go join Kawhi on the clipper bench 😂
LOL
As a Pels fan, I hope he gets traded ASAP

lol bad food
I think the Thunder can swing for him
They have too many players under rookie contracts to acquire anything that big of a contract
The okc thunder they have lots of draft assets and wouldn’t have to empty the cupboard to trade for him
Zion to the 76ers 😅 or the Bulls.
76ers wow
Zion on the trade market? Was i correct last video? 😊🎉 TRADE ZION . . .
Correct!
@TheBasketballBulletin lol it was tongue in cheek, but I would love to see Zion elsewhere
Trade for dame. Then give Murray to lakers
Hm 😮
The grizzlies probably make the most sense because ja and Zion played together before and they have the jaren Jackson Jr contract to trade
Zion is a HARD no.

I was about to offer a bag of chip but Zion ate it all
Jabari smith, dillion brooks and cam whitmore for Zion
You said 195 lbs twice. I had to zoom in on my screen. I'm like 195 wth he would have to be dead. Lol
295 lbs makes sense!
Nets make a ton of sense. Moving Ben Simmons. Total upside move.
Rockets shouldn't be so high, not an Udoka style player.
how is the weight requirement 195lbs.... he came out his mom weighing 210lbs
Meant to say 295
