re: Shamit Dua thinks we need to get Towns or Kristaps even if it means trading Ingram or CJ.

I would let loose Zion. He doesn’t play, why keep him…?

Because in the NBA you rarely get franchise level players so you hold on as tightly as you can to them when you have them. Zion took a good first step last offseason hiring a professional chef and trainer. He can do even more on his own to keep his body in peak condition. He also can do things on the court to reduce his injury risk like shoot more. Until you try those things and he still never plays, you keep Zion. It’s just too soon to give up on him because you usually don’t get even close to equal value back in these situations.

As for the OP I don’t like the thought of either KAT or Porzingis on this team. Both have injury issues and KAT seems soft and is on a max contract.

However trying to figure how we add shooters to this roster that Willie would actually play is pretty hard. He often doesn’t want to play Trey. Trey may not be good at defense, but he’s better than a lot of
shooters you would bring in. Would he play a Luke Kennard type?

Getting a 3 point shooting big might be the only roster move that works with Willie even though I am very opposed to adding the specific players mentioned and would not personally go in that direction.
