The trades they propose are ridiculous to me.
If Zion is only worth #3 and Royce O’Neal, or #2 and Hayward, or 2 non lottery 1sts John Collins and okungwu, then you simply don’t trade him.
His worth should be #2 and 2-3 firsts and a good player.

If we can’t get #2, Charlotte 24 1st and Mark Williams, then you laugh at charlotte and you tell Zion what his worth is and make fun of him for being a lazy fatass hoping it lights a fire under his arse.

There is absolutely NO shot we’re getting that for a dude who has played as little as he has and is as immature as he is. It would be one thing if he was a fit dude and in shape and has just had some freak injuries.

His body simply can’t take the nba as is for any consistent length of time and then he blows up each time he tweaks something because he's not held accountable.

I'd bet anything I own he's viewed around the league a lot closer to a bust/major liability than a potential franchise saving player.

I'd take scoot for him at this point. Give me the potential superstar for this guy. He may end up being a consistent great nba player but I think with each passing year the likelihood continues to dwindle. The idea that the unicorn body type that can't stay healthy is able to do that as he ages seems exceedingly far fetched to me.

That is absolutely his on court impact, and if your the Pels you 100% don’t sell low on him based on non permanent health crap. Either teams pay for what he shows on the floor or we don’t trade.

Doing anything else is a completely one sided trade with all the upside potential on the other side.

If a team wants to trade for Zion then they have to accept his health risk just like any other player. There is zero reason for the Pels to subsidize another roster by accepting less than full on court value.

They don't have any content with the season over and they're milking this for clicks and air time.

ESPN needs to fill up space until the draft. So, they took “The Pels interest in Scoot” and turned it into Zion trade rumors. I guess that will be another storyline with whatever big star in a small market to the Lakers/Heat/Knicks.
