I’m sure most won’t agree but if Traes value is low, and we can use BI and not give up much more, that’s the way I’d go. We have the perfect guy in Herb to pair with him. We’d also have to move CJ if we add him. No point in keeping him around. Then try to bring in a defensive rim protecting center.

Our core four would all be under 25 with Trae and Zion locked down for years.

I would be ok with that.

That's where the value of Jarrett Allen would be important to me. I still wouldn't give up Herb for him, but i'd make him a priority.

Trae
Herb
Trey
Zion
Allen

I like that lineup.

You can hate on Trae all you want, but i'd be perfectly fine with him having the ball in his hands late in games, much more so than CJ or BI.

BI's been in the league 2 years longer than Trae, yet Trae has played in 3x's as many playoff games as BI.

Define low? You're most likely have to give up 3 first, a young player, and an established player for him.
