Only way they can play together is with a legit stretch 5. Not sure if you can also play Herb with both of them in lineup, just not enough shooting.

Future is no Zion and Queen at the 4.

It’s the general lack of ball movement when he is out there that drives me crazy. Look how the guys with Queen move when he has the ball, because Queen will find you cutting to the hole. Zion can pass, but he just doesn’t do it enough.

Queen has played almost exclusively at the 5. I'd like to see what Zion and Queen look like together (preferably with a new coach).

I don’t think so. You wouldn’t generate enough 3s from your starting lineup. Queen might become a 3pt shooter but he isn’t one right now and you can’t start 2 non shooters in today’s NBA. Just move on from Zion and build around Queen. I think Queen is 100% a 5 in this league. You want to put a long athletic, rim protecting 4 next to him. Someone like Jabari Smith

When Queen doesn't have the ball, he's running to set screens. You rarely see him just standing somewhere doing nothing. He routinely will set one screen near the left wing, play doesn't go anywhere and it's now on the right wing and he goes set the screen over there as well.

When Zion doesn't have the ball, he might as well go sit on the bench b/c it's no different than him standing in the corner not moving, and more importantly, not being a threat of any kind.

Trade Herb for Kuminga and a 1st.

Trade: Zion/ Herb/ Poole/ Jose/ Hawk

Build on: Fears/ Trey/ Queen

Extend: Bey/ Karlo

Rehab value and trade in the future: Murray/ Missi

I understand your question and it’s a fair one but is anyone else tired of hearing anything involving Zion and him being on this team in the future in some capacity

Hard to take you seriously if you think we would get Kuminga AND a 1st for just giving up Herb.

Kuminga and GSW could not agree to a long term deal. He signed a 2 year deal and they have been openly looking to move him. Its not crazy if they like Herb that much and don't see eye to eye with Kuminga. It would be at worst Kuminga/ Herb straight up.

They signed him so he wouldn't walk for nothing and so they could make other moves in trades if needed.

I have no clue how that value plays out whether its Kuminga + 1st for Herb or Herb + 1st for Kuminga.
