I’m not sure how real this is but say we trade them Zion for Vuc and maybe their first rounder this year and in 27. At this rate- I would do it. Get rid of Zion- get a decent NBA center and some picks. By the way reporter is probably not legit but just something to think about.

No need to trade Zion or anyone when your 4-13.

Get some players back and if still about 10 games below in January .500 trade CJ.

Then trade Zion at the trade deadline if still bad. But you hope he can come back and you get a little better than Vucivic.

Sometimes you cut your losses and move on. Once hes gone- its like a dark cloud has been lifted.

And if he doesn’t come back his value will drop even more. Im not sure why we should trade CJ- he plays well and is a good leader for this team. To me this team has to move on from Zion if a team is interested just get the most you can get and move on. I think the fanbase and probably the organization is tired of this shite- get guys in here who want to play winning basketball. By the way Vucevic has played great basketball this year.

You can’t trade Zion for Vuc lol. That would be a horrible return. Wasn’t he one of the worse centers last year?

My buddy said we should gave traded him last year after he played all those games in a row. I thought he was wrong, but he nailed it. Some sucker gm probably would have gave us a haul.

We should have traded him immediately after the Moriah Mills drama!

Zion for Vucevic

White and multiple 1sts would have to be included for Pels to even think about it.

Or something like Zion and CJ for Lavine, Vuc and multiple 1sts

Have you seen the video. What GM looks at that and agrees to multiple first ?

Have you not seen Zion play?

You’re paying for Zion’s potential/on court value, no GM places a players value on a random arse internet video

I wouldn’t trade JRE for Vucevic. He’s a chucker and can’t play D. He’s really no different than JV except he costs more, and he’s 2 years older than JV.

My apology, I didn’t think I needed to type out all the issues with Zion. I meant his entire history and with the video added, who is giving multiple first.

Multiple teams would.

You have to remember that Zion’s contract makes it very easy to move on from him if it doesn’t work out. It’s nit a bad contract that you would have to pay assets to dump if it doesn’t work.

If picks are included, I’d take this in a heartbeat.

Of course they do. Every team has a name…

The advanced stats say that Vuc is by far the worst rim protecting C in the league this year. I know it’s early and small sample size, but he hasn’t been able to protect the rim in years, so this is probably not an outlier

It has nothing to do with our record.

He’s a lazy tub of shite and no amount of talent can overcome that.

Seems like his defense has been better this year and I thought KAT was the worst rim protecting C in the league. His shooting percentages and scoring are all improved plus you’re technically pairing him with Missi to get offense so I don’t think its that bad. But we can just sit here and wait for fat boys hamstrings to heal while he eats pasta and gets some more tattoos.
