We also need to remember that the point of Point Zion isn't to let Zion run the offense, it's to get Zion the ball in space on the move and maximize the options he has. If Trae is moving the defense Zion can score on cuts since Trae is a pretty good passer.
Y'all are doing yourselves dirty contorting logic like this. The point of Point Zion is for ZION to run the POINT. He can't do that next to one of the most prolific dribblers and shot-clock drainers in the NBA.
Trae has shown far less willingness to do what the team asks than BI has. Everything people hate about BI, Trae is worse. The only thing you'll get is more ill-advised 3s.

Young is the face and foundation of the Hawks. He's carried the team for 5 years. Moving him will be a seismic event in the city. His name and likeness is everywhere, i see it almost everyday. Definitely a polarizing figure, but he sells tickets and he's had huge moments in big games. I get that he is has struggled recently, but I don't think his value has submarined that much. Other than him being on a super max, which has to scare some teams off. What is Ingrams value after he signs a 5 year max?

I think most people see point Zion as a great failsafe for quick buckets, but question its sustained success due to personnel.
Zion can operate within another offensive system, but can anyone else orchestrate a point Zion system?

Having point Zion to close out games is unrealistic. I think it would have been magnified in the playoffs. Go look at all the 4th quarter losses. Bi wasn’t capable of closing out games in the 4th.

I fully admit I don’t watch enough Trae to know how good of a fit he would be, but I disagree completely with this assertion that Zion needs to run the offense. Zion just needs the ball in space heading down hill, he doesn’t have to be the QB, he can be the elusive RB lined up in the slot to attack mismatches in space.
It really is a shame BI was too soft for Stan, because when Stan finally focused on the offense he put some interesting actions in. I loved the one where the PG attacked the paint from one side and Zion was in the dunker’s spot on the opposite side and would curl into the lane to get the ball about 8 feet from the basket with a head of steam and the defense out of position. It boggles my mind how Willie hasn’t incorporated more actions like that.
