Destroy? Brother you need to get off the drugs. Dude had a triple double with 2 mins to go in the third. I really don’t understand how intelligent people can support this team right now.

Yes destroy, they were getting everything they wanted. Zion was a +14 in the game. Just because Jokic got a triple double, which he does against everybody BTW, doesn’t negate what they were able to do to that team.

Yeah, we've been wondering whether, in the long term, DQ is a power forward or a center. I think that the evidence is now coming in that he's a center. And that has a lot of implications. For example, it may ultimately mean that Yves Missi gets traded. Who knows?

Yves may very well be traded, but I think he could be the rotational shot blocker we need. I wouldn’t mind seeing a package built around Herb and Yves though for a shooter and a very good starter quality backup big. I wonder if say Dallas would be interested in a package of Herb and Yves for Klay and Lively? If Klay could find his shooting stroke again and just be a flamethrower off the bench it could turn out to be a good deal for us.

Or maybe Trajan would want Herb back and would do something like Herb and Hawk for Duncan, Javonte and a 1st and some 2nds.

We just need to find a way to get more shooting on this team

All that is cool but we need to move on from fattie. Building around that disappointment is like trying to start a family with a crazy chick that fricks good. Don’t do it.

1st, not fat anymore, that dumb joke is played out, stop it you’re embarrassing yourself.

2nd, We could build a team around them that plays to their strengths and takes pressure off them allowing them more room to operate and do their thing without having 4 defenders draped all over them. If you can get 3 shooters around Zion and Queen that opens up the paint it would take alot of strain off and allow them to face far less pressure likely keeping them healthy.

Whether you or other posters like it or not, Zion is our best chance at being a competitive team, it costs us nothing to try to make it work, but potentially costs you everything including the team in New Orleans if you trade him just to trade him and don’t get a player of his caliber in return.

Agree. Trey for Austin Reeves. Or Trey and Herb for Austin Reeves.

I would fricking ride with this starting lineup:

Yves
Queen
Z
Reeves
Fears

We need MORE shooting.

Not trading our best shooter…

I would package Herb and Hawk together to get someone like Duncan Robinson.

Or if we can find a way to send out Herb and Hawk while taking back a shooter making about half the money of Herb, then use the savings to go out and get Beasley, adding two of them to the roster.
