If Zion comes into camp in shape and ready to go from day one, this is gonna be a scary team next season. Even before the draft they'd have a rotation of CJ, Ingram, Jones, Zion, Val, Alvarado and Nance. Take a guy like Mathurin with the Lakers pick and this team would be looking pretty damn deep. I'd be expecting 55 wins if that team stayed healthy.

I don't know if Orlando is gonna let Bamba walk but he'd be the perfect center for this team.

We coulda gotten swept miserably and this alone still woulda made this season 100% worth it. Saying "that's all folks" to ADisney's face as we took the lottery pick right out his team's pocket in the process was just as satisfying as any championship :banderas:

Breh...I was praying the Lakers didn't win another chip. When it started to show that they were trash and ADaytoDay couldn't stay healthy ...:mjlit:

I thought the Clipper was gonna get us, but, this was a hellavu last three weeks.

:wow: Fat Boy Zion said he down with the No Limit Soldiers



I don't know if yall saw the exit interviews yet but Zion has the WOAT team around him for not letting him speak, his mic skills and media training are top 5 in the league and a lot of shyt could've been different if they just let him talk

And he comes off as legitimately wholesome.

I just posted it on Twitter, but, I was like :beli: during the opening season interview, him talking about how much he loves it here after hiding his foot injury.

But, now, it seems to be his genuine personality.

Nah Herb is legit breh: 6'8 wing with a 7 foot wingspan who was SEC DPOY and Player of the year. As far as 2nd round picks who might actually go on to do something in the league and not just wash out within ~3 years like 99% of guys picked after #30 do he fits the prototypical mold. You can't be getting this aggy about a guy like that picked 35th overall when this franchise's most notable 2nd round picks the past decade been Cheick Diallo and Frank Jackson.:dead:

I'm going back to the first page and I really was hoping Herb Jones wasn't Hilton Armstrong.

:mjlol: I was SLEEP

Silence leads to speculation.

I been telling people it was the team's FO and medical staff that sent him on sabbatical to Portland for rehab; shyt was not his or his step daddy's decision like a lot of people who want him outta NOLA tried to speculate. Every time him or his actual family open their mouths they are nothing but gracious and have nothing but good things to say about the team and city. Whoever in the FO and/or at CAA treating him like an area 51 specimen and letting these desperate cornballs from the media, whether it's local or shyt like the athletic, try and stir up nonsense in his silence gotta lot to answer for.:francis:
