For those who are following along Zion currently only has 2 points 3 rebounds and he might not play much more

I think you wrote this wrong, because Zion has accumulated a total of 22 point with 4/4 in three point range. I think the hype for this overall first pick isn't a joke and he proved it on a restricted minutes with 17points in the fourth quarter. Though his team lost to the Spurs but this made a good impression on Williamson's career.
22 points 7 rebounds and 3 assist not bad for his first appearance, This kid really have a good space from this league I agree that partnering with Ball he can jumped expect to see a lots of alley-oops from this team, though chances of having some adjustment between him and Ingram as they both need to touch the ball more often.

Zion is something new in this league. Something extraordinary. I think that we are a true witnesses of the new big kiddo on the block.

4/4 at threes, he just scored points casually, like he even didn't care. And his movement, his swag, his feeling and the mojo. We've waited a long time for him but it was worth it.

Bro, that 4th quarter.

He is on fire on the 4th quarter. His teamates knows whats up and focussed their offense to him. Damn, back to back points, not just twos but also threes. He really is something, not a fan of him in the past but I think I would follow him from now on. It is just sad that he might not play every game

Same here, not a fan yet since he hasn't proved anything in the NBA, but definitely one of my favorite rookies, It's just sad he had a bad start with an injury in the NBA. This kid is a legit superstar, if you haven't heard of him before, he was a college superstar who had so much hype because of his explosiveness regardless of how much he weighs.
Anyway, I hope he'll have full recovery so we could see his full potential in the NBA.

Yep, he had bad start, first 3 quarters only 5 points and then in last quarter 17 points , 4/4 for 3 pts in that period. If he wasn't on restricted minutes he would score way more. I might be wrong, but it  seems to me like he lost a bit of weight. That would definitely be a good thing for him, to reduce chance for injuries.


He actually had a good NBA debut. 22 pts 7Reb 3 Ast in 18 Minutes. That is already a good conversion for a man who had been out for a couple of months. He will surely improve his stats as the season progress. Sadly, they did not get the win but they showed a good 4th quarter game.

Great day for the Pelicans indeed.

They just saw the glimpse of the future there.
It might not be that much play time for him but it ain't over. It is just the start.

They may be thinking of new plays right now.
Lonzo Ball will be gaining higher stats after this. Alley-oops, three pointers getting open shots because of Zion penetrating the paint.
A streak is a must if they want a spot for the playoffs.

They are at the 12th spot with 17 wins but the 8th spot which is Spurs just got 20 wins.
There is still a chance.

For me that is one hell of a good start. This kid is something else.
His shoulders are really big and he might carry a lot with those.
Just looking at how ecstatic the crowd was when he shoots the ball. They want something from him. Playoffs maybe? Not this year but maybe next.
Who knows? It is still possible if they could get a good run.
But I am seeing they are taking care of him. The lead was not that much against the Spurs but they let him rest.

Zion williamson is going to be playing against the San Antonio Spurs tonight!

Damn thanks for that, for some weird reason i thought i saw him coming back on January 29th. Woke up hour and half early before works to see that game live. It was worth it, Zion showed why he was 1st pick !
Hype is real  Grin

I am really excited to see Oladipo back. I actually missed him a lot.  Grin
Pacers is 28-16 without him. They are doing great, what more when he is around.
The chemistry might get a little whack in the start but I am betting they will still remember how they do it when he was there.

Pacers were doing great without him, but just imagine how stronger and more dangerous will they be if Dipo can plat at previous level. I think most important thing is how will him and Brogdon work together, but I think it won't be an issue as Brogdon is a team player.

Utah would be a bit different because they already have Conley and also sort of Clarkson, I know he is SG normally but he played a lot of PG minutes when Conley was gone which is why I think Utah would probably not get Rose.

Utah already have clarkson, and at this state now, he is better than Rose, or his contribution fit to the Jazz.
Many teams Rose played after the bulls and he end up transferring to another team, that means he is not back to his old self and teams wants more of him.
It's hard for DRose to adjust again especially with his minutes, He already have a good space for Piston and looking for Jazz's rotations
it will be another adjustment if they will going to acquire DRose. Having Conley and Clarkson those minutes needs to be balanced they
can't have another one and be productive after.

Hm, this article  got me confused, how could Jazz give Derrick Favors and Dante Exum for Kevin Love since those 2 guys already left Jazz ( Favors to Pelicans for two second-round picks in order to give Jazz more cap space and  Exum for Jordan Clarkson)?
Checked the date, it is outdated. It was June 28, 2019.
Damn date was not that much visible.

Anyone else interested to see how will Victor Oladipo  look after big break due injury? He is supposed to come back soon, on January 29th (  supposedly the same day as Zion Williamson).

I am really excited to see Oladipo back. I actually missed him a lot.  Grin

Zion on the other hand had so much weight in his shoulders. It might become an obstacle if he could not carry it.
He needs a lot of support from the young team.
I bet we will be flowing with news and articles about him even from just his debut.

I can't wait to see Zion straight up dominate the NBA this season. I hope he comes on today and kicks it off positively. I think he will hit the ground running and probably score over 10 points in his first game. The pelicans are a lucky team to have this kid on their team, he is an absolute monster. He is going to mark his debut with a win! At least, in my opinion. This guy reminds me of young Lebron tearing it up in his first couple seasons with Cleveland. Maybe, he is even better.

We don't know. A lot of people are pumped up with Zion's debut, they are all waiting for this since the start of the season. We saw some moves in the pre season but after that, nothing. We still can't compare these two players right now since we don't have that much stat to compare to. Either way, Zion is said to be one of that players who play the least games in a season.

you got hype man, dominate? that's the thing I would disagree with because there's a lot of big guys in the NBA now that are better than him.

I mean, he just have to prove that he isn't just a hype, he haven't played a single game in this season yet, now is his chance to prove it.
he will be back with limited minutes only. less than 20 minutes according to https://hoopshype.com/storyline/zion-williamson-injury/

Kevin Love to Portland and that would be a great improvement to the team, I'll bet on them to win in the west,

Maybe this is the biggest trade this year, if Love would go with the Blazers, then they would not heavily rely on the CJ and Lillard on their offense, imagine with Love with them, a big man who can score not only in the inside but he can also shoot 3s consistently.
Love will definitely a good addition in their line up. Although i'm not hoping they will make it to Western Finals, atleast they still have a chance to take a playoff spot. Derrick Rose is also in the list and possibly landing in Lakers or Sixers. It won't be a problem for Lakers since he is on a bargain but he is more possible to land at Sixers. You know, Lebron James thing. Anyway, wether Lakers or Sixers, Rose has a chance to get a ring now. I really wanted to see this guy to have atleast 1 ring and now is the chance for him to be in a contender team.

Rose has a higher chance of getting a ring if he go to the Lakers.

As for Kevin Love, any team that will get win will be upgraded for sure specially in the middle. He will be a great asset if ever he will land on Portland. He also had that experience winning a ring, definitely a plus for Blazers.

That is if the Lakers will bring home Rose. I don't think they need another star in their line up and I believe they only need a reliable supporting cast to make it to the finals.

The needed to have that supporting star on their team, because it made them more coordinated in the long period of the journey as they move for championship. If you're thinking of supporting cast, I bet it was a front line of the one of their player who can initiate as team captain who could run the game plan with proper ball handling in order to make it.

Rose is more likely, its just 7.3 million dollars and I know it would be hard to convince Pistons to deal him out since noone in lakers worth 7.3 million dollars is convincing but if they can somehow do that, I am pretty sure Rose would level that team up and currently sitting at top of west, that means something.

Don't just look at the value but the contract itself. Matching the value of a player to a certain trade is not always the one to look at.

Lakers joined the list of the interested team for Derrick Rose. Meaning there are ways to acquired him disregarding its value.

But reading sources, Derrick Rose likes to remain in Pistons. Not interested in any trade talks involving him.

Considering in today's game 18 ppg is a great stat for many role players, dude has been on fire, he has achieved that with almost 50% field goal as well and if Lakers ever get him that would probably mean they will want him to play back up to Lebron at the same time, they always knew it would be hard to pair Rondo and Lebron together so they would put Rondo into bench mobs head and tell him to lead second unit whereas they would put Rose with Lebron so lebron could pass to him whenever he wants to instead of waiting Rondo to playmake.

Utah would be a bit different because they already have Conley and also sort of Clarkson, I know he is SG normally but he played a lot of PG minutes when Conley was gone which is why I think Utah would probably not get Rose.
