Swapping Zion for Dame puts us further away from a championship

I can't believe that has to be stated, but it seems like a select few on here who are done with Zion are getting drunk off of a report that links us with a "name" but was clearly leaked by an agent and/or Portland to drive up trade value after Miami's reported shite sandwich offer.

TLDR

1) We're not getting Dame
2) Dame in place of Zion does not make us a title contender.

That doesn’t summarize what you stated above, and what’s the point of even discussing #2, given your belief of #1?

Weird thread

Everyone but idiots knows this and we already have a Dame thread so why did you start a new one?

29 games in 2 seasons. What are the odds he plays 65 games this year? How about 50?

I want to see someone put money on one of those before they start boasting about the upside of Zion. We aren't winning anything if he doesn't play..

This trade isn’t on the table so this is all just offseason message board masturbation . . . but Dame/CJ won 49 games and 53 games in 2018 and 2019 respectively, and Al farouq aminu played the third most minutes on those team.

CJ, Ingram, Herb, Murphy, Jonas would be the best supporting cast Dame has ever played with by a mile.

A starting five of Dame, Herb, Ingram, Murphy, Jonas with a bench of Alvarado, CJ, Dyson, Nance, Naji, Hawkins has a punchers chance next year if everyone stays healthy and Jokic dies an unfortunate death.

Well,

Since Zion has really proven himself in the post season, I understand the point made.

Zion is a waste of $$$$

Hey remember when we took Phoenix to 6 games without Zion.

You are right having Dame on that team would have made us worse.

Dame is such an unclutch player who can’t get 40 any given night.

I disagree and I'll explain my rationale. For starters, Zion doesn't ever play. Using this line of thinking, I think that Dame actually gets us closer.

The reason being - Dame plays.

And you see, Zion does not. Because he's a fat, headcase, piece of shite.
