Seems like ESPN is on board with trading him.

It’s sad to see how things have transpired since mid-season.

Would love to get Luka and have a top player who actually plays.

Things could get volatile this offseason.

But I would try one more year and see how it goes.

Actually make some moves to the roster to add shooting. Shake up the training staff and add a real veteran Coach to the staff full time.

If it doesn't work out, then blow it up. Trade everyone but guys like Trey and Jose.

Let's say they keep Zion. Will the fans support him? First time he tweaks an ankle, people will lose their minds.

This was my initial thought too but he clearly has no interest in being here.

Think the Pelican fans were the only ones not on board. The guy is a bust and now his value is probably down for trade.

They’re going to give it another year, but we all know how this story ends. Zion will appear committed and be “in shape” to start the season, he will play well and hoodwink the fanbase again into thinking the team could be special. He’ll get hurt again in December and play his usual 25-30 games, and in 365 days, we’ll be exactly where we are now.

Mikal Bridges & Nic Claxton for Zion
Hope TM3 can add on 20lbs.

Why on earth would the nets do that trade? Some of you live in fantasy land.

When he's not playing? No

When he is playing, yes

Top 5 player that hates to lose for this 22 year old fat slob that does not give a shite? Sounds pretty one sided, doesn't it?

Right


We have to trade Zion because he never plays, but let's trade him for an elite rim protector and a potential top 20-25 player in the NBA.

If Zion has THAT much value, why exactly do we want to trade him? If you answer because he's always hurt, then he doesn't have THAT much value.

So would every team in the league.

Although I would be an absolutely miserable fan if I had to watch Luka, Trae, or Harden on my favorite team. Ugh.

I'm sure most would, but that would involve giving up either Zion or BI, all your other young assets(Herb/Trey) and multiple 1sts.

You're not even starting a conversation with the Mavs without all of that as just the starting point.

Plus, zero chance Cuban listens seriously to a single offer for him.

Pels were 1st in the west with Zion leading them, we have a losing record with BI leading us.

Im trading Ingram and getting other guys to help take some load off Zion.

Nets: Dame, Ingram
Blazers: Simmons, Val 4 1sts from Nets, 2 1sts from Pels
Pels: Bridges, Claxton, DFS
