    Zion will never be healthy. It’s only going to get worse as he gets older.

    Zion isn't quite into Greg Oden territory, but:

    in his first 4 seasons, Bill Walton played in 230 NBA games, including 21 playoff games and had won a championship

    meanwhile, in his first 4 seasons, Zion has played in 114 NBA games, less than half of Walton's number, and hasn't played in a playoff game and appears he won't

    Alright sure. How many times you bought a lottery ticket and won?
    The fact remains this team has been run so poorly that now they are forced to tank for a 10% chance to get better. (Which being in the position they are in i agree with)
    Run the team well and don't hard cap yourself as well as trade all your assets for garbage.
    They should never have been in this position to begin with. They should have traded Aldridge. They should never have traded away multiple first round picks for middling players. They should never have run soo long with CJ.
    The list is long. This organization has done this to themselves.
    I'm not the only one who absolutely hates the idea of losing on purpose.

    This is silly; I haven't bought a ticket with a 10% chance to win before. And really, a 40% chance to win because top 4 is good enough.

    When was the last time you flipped a coin? Flip it three times, get heads three times, that's about the same chance as getting the #1 pick.

    How many times have you rolled two dice and gotten snake-eyes? The probability of rolling snake eyes is 1/36, or 2.777%. We have a 4x better chance of getting #1 than rolling snake-eyes on a pair of dice. We have a 15x better chance of getting 1-4.

    I think he would be really durable if he lost a lot of weight. Every injury he has had seems directly correlated with his muscles and bones being overwhelmed by the mass that they carry. I still hold out hope that someone will say the right thing to the guy, he'll get a dietitian and get back on track because he is an absolute joy to watch play the game.

    No!
    What is silly is that this organization is tanking at this point.

    It would be silly not to tank at this point. We have no trade prospects, no free agent prospects, and a super-duper-megastar who wants to win. We *have* to get better through the draft. Portland has *always* had to get better through the draft.

    LeBron James #1 pick no? KD #2 pick no? Every fucking player in the league was available with the number one pick no? Options are good yes?
