Wanted to get the boards overall feel before tomorrow. Upvote if you think the trade talk is serious, downvote if you think it is just PR bullshite

Personally, I think Griff started all the leaks to deflect from Zion's Hoes and him and BI will be on this team on Friday.

I think they really like Scoot and are contemplating if trading Zion/BI is worth it.

I don’t think they’re “actively shopping” anyone.

Trading zion talk is not the kind of thing that is a PR move

There's at least some interest there

If it was just a PR move to knock ThotGate out of the headlines it would have ended with Charlotte. Not being PR doesn't mean the team is looking to trade Zion or BI though, just that the Pels are still trying to find a way to land Scoot and Zion keeps getting mentioned because he is the player the other teams want.

I think they have been actively inquiring about 2 and 3, and all of the Zion/BI talk is speculation from others because they assume its the only way to get their.

I do not think we are trading Zion.

I’d say jokic, Embid and Gianni’s would beg to differ

It is?

Other than Steph, forwards and bigs do all the winning.

Yeah I would saying guard is incorrect but also saying big men is not right either. Its agile big men who can run the floor and even play point (bron, giannis, jokic) which is rare- and i would agree Zion is one of those guys. Main difference is the 3 guys above especially in their prime are/were healthier than Zion has ever been.

Scoot is that good. Ja Morant type athlete with size length and desire.

Hopefully better than Ja.

I don't think Ja is a #1 on a championship team dude. I just don't see it.

I agree with you for different reasons.

I don’t think Ja’s going to be in the league in 3 seasons.

He may not be back in the league after 50 games at this point.

That's obviously an issue as well.

But I've been saying he's not a dude that will lead you to a title since before any of that, just on court reasons for me.

Ja is horrendous on Defense. He gets away with it because of some of the teammates around him but he is one of the worst defensive starters in the league.

Regardless, we aren't trading Zion. I simply won't believe it until I see it.

It would be an insanely stupid PR move to pretend that you might trade your franchise player just to get people to move on from a story about a NBA player banging some skanks.
