there's more to basketball than scoring 20 ppg. As long as Zion is on the team it is a soft rebuild. A soft rebuild is not going to work. And like I alreadt said, as long as Zion is on the team they have shown they are going to feature him, not make him Robin. There is nothing we;ve ever done to make me thing the organization is capable of viewing Zion as anything other than Batman.

I understand where you are coming from here. I do disagree about Z being on the team and not being Batman. We have not even attempted to get a "star" player like that. We wanted BI to step up, wanted Trey to step up, and then hoped adding a PG Murray would help. None of those players are the type of pkayer that would even push Z to #2.

This is the first time I really think we are in that position.

All I'm saying is that this is the closest we've been and the main missing piece is someone to force Z to #2 and not be the main uncontested star. We can do that with Trey/ Murray/ picks and we should.

We are already half in and half out. You want to go full out and trade Z/ Herb/ Trey/ Murray. I'd rather go in and trade half of those guys for the best player possible and THEN blow it up if it truly fails.

We should be trying to make Z a Robin and get a Batman before trading Z and having neither.

Regardless of the sentiment the last 8 years this is really something we have not done or had the assets to do. Now we do.

Imagine if we did the Trey/ Murray for J Brown trade. That would be huge for us and he would be doing more for us than Philly. Clearly we have thought about those type of moves just need to actually pull the trigger.
