re: I'm not sure how this team improves via trade

Why can’t we we turn Trey into a 5? Not as a starter but a closer. He has he height he just needs another 15 pounds and he is a center. Jonas and Larry will get the most minutes until crunch time and we also ramp up minutes for Trey at 5 during playoffs. It allows Herb to keep his minutes as well

This is how i feel about our future as a contender.

Zion is going to have to be able to guard Jokic and AD and Embiid and whatever other 250+lb center that is on the court in cruch time. Zion weighs way too much not to be able to do this, and if he could do this effectively, in cruch time, then it puts us at an enormous advantage offensively.

I was impressed seeing him hold his own on those two possessions against Sabonis a few weeks ago. We need to see more of that, b/c that's our future as a contender. You get him to do that and having a undersized 5 will work just fine, as long as we have a 3rd backup big with some size.
