Please stop with theis nonsense

The lane I would pick would be a rebuild as well, but it would start with Zion, and they don't seem to be doing that



A rebuild can't start with Zion, same like it didn't started for Memphis with Ja.
Trey and Herb should go, because they are the only two who can bring back some picks and it's also good for them to go somewhere they can win (as it's clear both are not going to help us becoming playoff team this year).
So if we can get 8 pick + '27 Bucks from ATL and 11 pick from Warriors just go for it. Next year we will have two more picks and just build it from there.

You rebuild with two talented guys on team friendly contracts and get rid of the fat lazy fricker who’s injury prone. Nah, let’s trade the only two draft picks that we’ve hit on since CP3 for more draft picks….

If you REALLY think Fears and Queen are the future then you should be making deals that set that up

Agreed. This is where I actually currently trust the FO. We want a top end pick for Z and haven't been offered that pick. This makes sense as to why we are not hearing Z trade rumors and that's a good thing.

It means our FO isn't looking to trade guys for low value. If the Bulls offered #4 for Z we would do it but they probably aren't.

So you keep Z and he either shows up or hopefully increase his value for a mid season/ offseason trade. Better plan than trading low.

If this is the case (makes sense) then it also makes sense why we would move to a Trey/ Herb/ DJ trade.

That's Queen and Fears, not Herb/ Trey.

Herb isn't winning a championship here and he was a 2nd. Turning him into a future 1st is one of the greatest value moves the Pels have hit on in franchise history. If the #17 pick gives you an opportunity at a Top 10 pick and other assets then you do it.

Only Pels fans are obsessed with players themselves and not what they do for us. Herb/ Trey are pick #17/ #35 and have done nothing for us as far as success.

Turning unsuccessful/ non impact players drafted at #17/ #35 into (3)+ future 1st is exactly the type of shite our franchise needs.

What do we have to lose? End up bottom 10 and out of the playoffs?

I'd rather do this and end up worse off than to continue down the same path. Trying and failing is better than just failing without effort.

Yeah but I doubt that they trade Trey and Herb on draft night. There’s always a lot of buzz then nothing ever happens.

Our current GM and FO have made draft night trades on 100% of drafts. So idk about that opinion.

Bingo!

Fears Queen
8/11

Build Zion trade value up now that he’s taking his job serious in Year 8 and get assets from that. And hopefully the bucks trade Giannis and take advantage there

Shams did not say they could be traded. He was asked what big names have gotten interest and he named Murphy and Jones. That's it.

You can't look at Herb & Trey's values at where they were drafted. You need to look at them like if they were to be drafted now. Cuz that's what they are worth.

I’ve never wanted a rebuild that includes Zion remaining on the roster.

Who you going to pick at 8 that is as good as Trey. JD is messing up this franchise quicker then he did in Detroit

I see how that conclusion can be made when not one (1) game has been played.

So trade for unknown when you know what you gave in Trey. You do you, I wouldn’t trade

1 of 9 players valued higher than Trey was when he was drafted at #17.

JD taking our 25+ years of failures and turning it into year 1 of a rebuild really destroys everything we've built.

How can we get back to the glory days of 1st rd exits, missed playoff appearances, and players requesting trades from our franchise.

Joe Dumars could trade every single player on our team and we have not a fricking clue if it leads us closer to a championship in 5-10 years than keeping everyone together.

At this point who gives a shite, its not like we have a successful blueprint or any success to say its a bad move.

I understand that. My thing is with Trey, where are we going. The guy is 26 and we’ve shown we want to build around Fears, 19 and Queen, 20. Get the value (it would be more than just 8). Look at the Grizzlies. Traded Bane and Jackson for a ton of picks. Still got Morant on the roster, but will have Edey, #3, and Coward to build around
