re: 25 and 14

I don't know why Zion does so well against Gobert and teh #1 defense Wolves, but he's been takign it to Gobert since the first time he played him in the preseason his rookie year. I do'nt know what it is about that matchup, but it's like Zion is determined to score at will on Gobert.



I keep asking the question, what is our issue at the 5, and who is the upgrade to trade for?
Everytime i think of trading for someone i think, well that guy is a huge dropoff offensively from JV, and is he really any better at defending than Larry?
Jarrett Allen really is the only answer, outside of rookies that aren't going to be moved like Kessler/Duren/Williams.

And to be honest, i'd rather trade Larry for Jarrett Allen than JV, and use JV as our 6th man offensive spark off the bench to play through when Zion isn't in the game mainly. JA is an upgrade defensively to Larry.
But that kind of trade would make us a tax team (Larry/Dyson for JA), just barely, and definitely make us one next year if we resigned JV and Naji, so i doubt they want to start the tax this year, although i'm with Shell and say frick it, it's not my money, and that old bird is rich as frick.
