    I can't tell? He had pocket shorts and a hoodie on? Just not sure how to make that assessment?

    From the clip of him dunking pregame, he's definitely put some pounds back on.

    I mean this is Duke. Zion is a very big man.

    Twitter is a toxic circle jerk. Avoiding it is easy for me.

    He's their third-best player and 31. They're a playoff team in spite of lots of injuries. They have much better prospects of making it to the Finals with their current team than the Blazers do. Of course, Zion is a walking injury but that's not CJ's fault.

    They’re not a playoff team. They lost last night.

    They're a play-in team. I should have said, "post-season".

    That's not much of a difference, but thanks.

    Actually there is. One is playoffs and a chance to win it all. The other one is trying to achieve playoffs, and if you don't win, you go home like any other Lottery team.

    Are you talking about one game? They wouldn’t have finished the season almost making the playoffs if it wasn’t for CJ. For NOLA, getting to the play in game was probably quite an accomplishment. In fact Coach Green, said them finishing above .500 was the best thing that could have happened. I know for “fans” around here this is laughable, because they expect 55 wins a season, but sometimes it’s the small battles. They are VERY happy having CJ on that roster.

    They're not a playoff team though. They didn't even make the play-in game to make the playoffs.

    What about going the other way? Say Toronto offers Van Vleet and Barnes for Dame-- how would you respond?

    They would need to add a bundle of picks. We would then have to flip FVV later on.

    Their lottery pick this year would be about as much as I'd see them giving up if Barnes were also included.

    Would we though? I mean, he's an expiring. If we were truly rebuilding, would it be so bad to let him walk?
