Trade his arse to Dallas straight up for Luka. I know he has a hoe over there already.

Luka seems like he’s not the easiest guy to share a court with. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a superstar, but he seems like kind of a dick

I just watched the Hornets locked on show. They were saying we would have to give up Zion, Jones, #14 and future pick(s) for the #2.

Maybe delusional, but Zion ain't worth a ton right now. I was hoping to get off of him before his value tanked. We should have made the move last summer..

With Luka, he's so ball dominant and everyone has to fall in line to Luka's play and essentially become guys who stand in the corner and wait for the ball to come your way.

He may finish each season with around or even more assists than Jokic, didn't look...but Jokic does it in a completely different way.

He's not ball dominant, everyone else still has the ability to be who they are and excel in their own ways, unlike Luka...or at least that's how I see the difference in the 2.

Jokic, as we've seen, can completely dominate, say, a half while only taking 4 shots. That doesn't seem to happen with Luka.

Jokic is like a better prime Arvydis Sabonis.

Luka is Harden.

You may have gotten a little more bite if you'd have traded his fat arse 2-3 years ago. Now he's just an anchor.

There was post on Sabonis on the MSB a couple of days ago and did some digging, the numbers were eye popping...and not in a good way.

I'm not saying he wasn't a good passer but back in the 90s I'm sure none of us ever watched international Sabonis nor did we have a way to find his stats.

I think a good amount of what we were sold and all believed, myself included, on Sabonis was overblown.

Here are his international stats: LINK

He averaged 2.0 assists, with a career high of 2.4 assists(he did average 3.3 on that link, but that was 8 games in the Olympics). But the way he was portrayed, we all thought he was out here making passes like Jokic.

Yet he wants to play and win. When Dallas tried to shut it down and tank he refused to sit.

I'd rather someone like that over Zion.

Meh

Luka is a dick , Jokic isn't.

Giannis, Steph... known as beloved teammates, not at all with the reputation of being a dick.


Add Kawhi. Heck, the bulk of the last few champions don't have that rep.

The obvious trade partner if not Charlotte, is Miami.

Locked on Hornets and Locked on Pelicans probably aren’t the best places to determine Zion’s trade value in terms of a potential trade that would involve both teams.

If I’m truly attempting to be unbiased, I think fair value is Zion and pick 14, for Pick 2 and salary (Gordon Hayward)- who could be a useful player for us this year tbh.
