re: Zion is NOT getting traded.

Look at Willie wanting to fight. I hope Joe can bring that back in him.

Good point. I just don’t know that they value a rookie that also didn’t win (even in college) in Bailey.

I was just trying to illustrate that I believe Zion still has value to some teams. It wouldn’t be a historic trade haul, but it would be enough to move on from Zion, for me. And also have hope we can develop whoever we get in his place.

BR mentioned pick 8 and some other draft assets from Brooklyn. I don’t think that would be bad either. They also have Cam Thomas floating on that team as a potential salary matching piece and CJ McCollum replacement.

We are on the same page Galactic. We are both ready to move on from Z, even if it’s not a can’t miss haul.

Unfortunately it looks like Dumars has his head up his arse like Griffin did and is going to do the “1 more year” route that we have been doing the last 4/5 years w Z.

Buffets are doing cartwheels

Yeah ok. Haliburton would have done same thing.

Daniels needs to act like a Pelicans announcer not like Ryan Clark. At least you still got Graff.

R.I.P. Gil and Gerry V. They were best in business.

You’d be trading him for about 25 cents on the dollar

25 cents on the dollar is better than a dime, which is what we get when he only plays in 8 games before the trade deadline.

They aren’t trading him prior to the season, because he’s the only draw to sell the pittance of tickets.

There is no hope it’s time to sell the team.

I don’t think other people can truly hold other people accountable (especially when 1 person is worth about $400 Million and he got to that point, by not trying much over the past 6 years).

It’s about Z holding himself accountable to get light enough to where it isn’t an absolute dice roll whether he gets injured or not. Also, improving his skill and game style to the point where he isn’t reliant on all paint, all the time.

My guess, that healthy weight is probably about 230. Which he isn’t getting to. We’ve tried for 6 years. Time to move on and sell his “potential” to a team missing the final piece.

I think Z might have 2-3 years left of “prime”. At this rate, we are going to hold onto to him until we get a Sato and Temple package for him. Right now, I think he has actual value as he played some nice ball in the last 2 months of the season, is 265 ish pounds, and has a completely unguaranteed contract. I actually saw a Celtics writer suggest that the Celtics should trade Jaylen Brown for Zion, a first, and a Milwaukee pick swap, and then waive Zion as a solution to get out from under their luxury tax issue.

As much as Z says he loves “hooping” and “winning”, the proof is quite literally in the pudding. He values 4-5 other things over playing winning basketball and it will likely always be the case.

I’ve always been team Z under 270

I think I just realized the past year or 2, that to truly prevent injury, he’s going to have to be much much lighter than that and completely change his game style.

We know he’s unwilling to do neither, so we should have moved on years ago.

Idk why he still has so much support from our fanbase. He’s literally done nothing to help the team or its overall stature or reputation the past 6 years.
