    Zion is a gamble with his health and desire, but when healthy, 27 ppg on 60+% efficiency.

    Scoot is also a gamble. He could be a bust!

    When you trade 3 for Zion, you make the risk and live with the result. The dude is 22 y/o.

    Was not a Zion fan when he came into the league. More of a mauler, than a finesse scorer. That only plays as long as the athlete stays in top condition. We are seeing that he does not.

    Could he change? I give it a 50/50 at best. If the Blazers did acquire him, and it paid off, it could be huge. If it didn't, it would look very poor on many fronts. He has played where he is suppose to be the man. If he could exist where he doesn't, and learns to like that role. I could see a big dividend from him.

    Wide?

    That said, if he showed that he wanted to be more disciplined and his medicals came through okay, you have to consider it because of his talent.

    But old habits die hard.

    Some dude with a random Twitter handle being given the perception of credibility.

    Bet that dude was wearing a foam finger when he tweeted it too.

    He is, but so is she. She just got "Zion" tattoo on her face? This whole situation is developing VERY strangely.
