A Zion/AD/Jrue/actual filler core is a championship caliber team if Zion is who everyone projects him to be or even just close
How many teams will have a better trio next year than those three? Golden State, with Steph, Klay, and Draymond? OK, who else? We'll absolutely have a championship core.

If we don't at minimum play a tough 6-7 game 2nd round somethings wrong

The medical personnel for potential trade partners have ZERO fear of AD's injury risk based upon his missed time or past injuries. I don't see this as a deal breaking issue, and neither do the experts.
Im just as pissed as the next person that AD would compromise the organization and demand out in the middle of the season. But trust me, we keep AD and we have a core that will compete for a championship. On the other hand, Tatum and Brown with Zion will get us an eighth seed in a few years.
Just think about AD being the center of our offense and having Zion fly around without the defenses being able to focus on him. This could be very exciting.

Keeping AD is a risk
We need to take risks, so it's well worth the risk if he decides to stay.

AD’s durability is severely overstated. He’s played in 75 games in 2 of the last 3 seasons, one of those we shut him down in the last 3 cause we were out of the playoffs. In 17-18, he missed one game in the second half of the season when we needed him.
Nobody questioned his leadership until last year, especially not around May a year ago. He fell in with the wrong crowd and had the wrong people in his ear, and our organization was such a shitshow we had no way to combat it. Dell friggin Demps and Mickey Loomis stand no chance against Lebron and Rich Paul.
I’m not excusing what he did, but this is a player that people still think has the talent to be a top 3 player in the game (I think Giannis stole the likely “future throne” crown from him though people were saying it might be AD post Lebron as recent as last year). He’s already a top 10 player in the game. We’ve got our shite together. We’ve got a Jrue Holiday that understands he needs to be more of a leader for these guys, and we’ve got a bonafide physical monster coming in with a great head on his shoulders.
I get people are emotional. I don’t like AD myself right now and I’m honestly just fine with whatever he decides so we can just move the frick on from this crap. The obvious best case, no brainer, no debate for this franchise though is AD staying.
You never trade a dollar for 4 quarters in the NBA and you’re damn lucky if you even get 4 quarters.
Yaaaas queen. Could not agree anymore with everything you just said

If we can convince him to sign long term before the trade deadline it’s a no-brainer but having him stay a whole year and then bailing next year could cripple the future of the organization and Griffin’s tenure as GM before it ever really gets going

I would make him sign or make the trade.
