For sure, I’ve never watched one G-League game. I didn’t watch much Zephyrs either, which I do regret

Your posts might make up 40% of this thread. Are you this passionate of a Pels Fan or are you a member of the media? Some of your remarks sound very similar to a MM who once patrolled these boards. Obvious alter of some sort.



Was waiting for someone to say it

JJJ for Zion
Bam for Zion
Jaylen Brown and 2 firsts for Zion (Jaylen is an expiring that qualifies for a super max so I’d need extra)
Poole, Moody, Kuminga, and multiple picks for Zion.
Mikal Bridges for Zion and Pick 14
Pick #3 and Sharpe for Zion & Pick 14


Some of these are fine, some are “fire Griff before he calls the trade in” bad

Yeah I’d want Jabari Smith Jr, for starters from Houston.

JJJ or Bam would be my top two “realistic” targets…Charlotte give me the Williams kid and the #2 plus Hayward + 2 firsts.

Towns? I don’t love him, but he makes a little sense. Soft af though.

You have absolutely lost your mind. 80% of those deals are absolute dog shite and the other 20% aren't gonna happen because Zion's value is too low right now.

Which ones are good? We are getting fleeced in everyone of these. Even with Zions value this low currently we would be getting robbed.

I’m trying to be realistic. It’s tough to balance. Some are probably fair. Some are probably too favorable to the Pels. Some might not be favorable enough. I don’t know exactly how the league views Zion. But I do think if we made him available, we’d get at least 4-5 very satisfactory offers.

I personally value Sengun extremely high due to his playstyle, age, health, and Jokic and Sabonis’s success.

I will say, I just watched Jake Madison’s Locked On for the day and if he is someone to be trusted/believed.

We supposedly aren’t moving Zion for anything other than Scoot this offseason. So perhaps all other Zion trade speculations are a moot point unless he randomly requests one unexpectedly.

I don’t think I would do these deals, but it’s hard to get too mad at a deal centered around Z for JJJ, Bam, or Jaylen Brown…all have their flaws but are all-star to all-nba level players who fit well with our team

Cade, Duren, and picks is a shitload of young talent

The Sengun trades are awful. Even if you like the guy you have to get more than that, houston arguably underutilizes him and it’s unclear how much the coaching staff and front office even like him

Obviously the best case scenario is keep Zion and he starts playing 75-80% of games instead of the 25-30% he currently plays.

Zion is a top 15 player when healthy. But since he’s not healthy 75% of the time, we wouldn’t get a top 15 player back. We could definitely get all star level talent/future all star level talent back though that is healthier than Zion.

It’s not like I suggested RJ Barrett or Julius Randle for any of these. All of these potential trades have a legitimate centerpiece with either an all star or all star upside.

Haha I’m not MM but I am a passionate pels fan plus like I said its the offseason so its fun to post on message boards. Despite differing opinions, I honestly mean no harm and enjoy the discussion. Like everyone else here I want the pels to succeed and wish them nothing but the best. If I offended anyone I do apologize but honestly everything I write is a bit passionate but all in good fun. Appreciate everyone on this board, even the ones who think my opinions are completely whack.

By the way a real media member should never be on these message boards. If they are, they’re probably not real media members. I’ve heard of people like MM and other media members get on here on the past, and get into arguments. Honestly that’s ridiculous. If you’re a real media member there is no reason for you to be wasting time on message boards. No offense to anyone here but we’re just a bunch of weekend warrior GMs.

Sengun stays at Rockets. Even the peers (Embiid, Edwards , Jokic etc) say Sengun is the best player at Rockets (the impact).

Chet hasn't played yet. I don't see why he would be in a trade without even knowing his level. Maybe he can be a player OKC include in the long run.

Giddey stays at OKC also. He's the 2nd best player after SGA...

Bam has max contract and is the 2nd best player after Jimmy Butler at Miami. Moreover, they did NBA Finals.

Sharpe will remain with the Blazers and will be included in long term.

Maxey is an elite defender... Tobias can be traded that said.

My celebrity keeps growing on 3 posts a day. It's impressive..

BTW, I watched a video (LINK ) with a group of guys called "Boot Krewe Media". I had never seen them before, but they were pretty good. Have they been referenced on here before?

I agreed with the one guy at the end though that said if you trade Zion (which he doesn't want to), you should go ahead and move Ingram. Commit to a rebuild and get the most you can to start over..

I don’t know whether to be scared or impressed with this board’s obsession with you? People here genuinely despise you but at the same time obsess over you like some sort of arch enemy and/or comic book villain lol
