A smart GM should trade for Zion to cut him and get under the tax threshold

I would expect he has more trade value than we think.

I think Zion the player has almost no value. Zion the asset, however, is incredibly interesting. For all that Griff fricked up, this contract could have been WAY worse. I assume it was Zion's Mom that acted as his agent, because no real agent would allow him to sign this type of contract. What a fricking clown

Master P representing Rickey Williams in his rookie contract was pretty comical as well.

IMO getting screwed over like that by a rapper (wanna be sports legend ) really caused Williams mental illness to boil over.

That’s not how it works.
His contract for this year is guaranteed now. If he’s cut, you still owe him the full amount for this year, you just don’t owe him anything after that.

Even in the offseason a team can’t trade for him and then cut him. When you make a trade matching salaries for someone whose contract isn’t fully guaranteed, the trade basically makes that contract guaranteed. They made this rule to prevent exactly what you’re talking about so tax teams can’t be bailed out.

If he continues to be a fricking worthless fat piece of shite, cut him and reap the tax savings.

My money is on being a fat worthless piece of shite. We’ve paid that fat frick $500M. Think about that.
