What’s the most logical way? Do we pray the knicks get the first pick and then trade Davis straight up for the #1 pick plus some?

I think the knicks would be dumb to trade Zion for AD.

Haven’t we gone down this road before? It’s a guard/wing league. Gimme Ja.

I know Zion is a freak, but is he really going to play PF at his size? Can he develop enough offense to play sf? Though Zion is clearly on a different level from Barrett and Reddish.

Durant and/or Kyrie aren't going to New York to play with Zion. But they potentially would to go play with AD.

We should absolutely do whatever we have to do to get Zion. He is the next Lebron and will dominate the league in the future

I dont know about lebron but with us losing the face of our franchise, Zion would be the most marketable player we could get. He has instant star power.

Pray knicks get #1
Pray we strike gold and get #2-3
Trade AD to NYK for zion, dsj, and filler

Draft morant or Barrett

Rebuild nearly complete.

We get #1
Knicks get #1
Lakers get #1


Any of these things happen and he is ours. So basically a 21.5 % chance

The surplus pieces included in a Zion deal are dwindling by the game

It’s more like Zion, two future Knick draft picks (when they’re probably good) and cap filler (if needed)

I would also include Dallas and Boston (Sacramento pick, the minuscule chance that it is).

The Sacramento pick stays with Philly if it’s #1.

Pump the brakes there, bud. That’s a bit of a stretch.

The only thing that worries me about Zion is that if he isn’t finished filling out like Shaq wasn’t when he came into the league. I could see a 285 lb Zion becoming way overweight.

At 19, he'll bigger than any PF and already be able to bully virtually any PF in the NBA at will.

Sure, why not. Blake Griffin's gone from being good solely on athleticism to developing a solid jumper.

I can't wait for the Knicks to have Durant, Kyrie, AD, Zion, and Mitch...

I thought about Dallas as well.


Luka/KP/AD is a hell of trio. I think they’d give up Zion for that. I can’t see any of the other teams doing it. AD would fit Dallas timeline.
