Zion for KAT. Does both teams get better if health is guaranteed hypothetically?

I think Zion makes NY a better team and I think KAT makes NO a better team going forward, especially with the rookies KAT would be playing with abd the defensive players Zion would be with. I think NY can beat the Pistons with Zion but they can't beat them with KAT.
What y'all think as Pelicans fans? I know KAT is soft as hell but dude can rebound and score efficiently on some pick and pop type shite. Zion fits perfectly into their system also. Win win situation imo.

I am on the Zion for anyone bandwagon. My default answer to anyone proposed is Yes

Whatever player you trade for, you have to assume they will give 70% effort at best once they get to New Orleans
They'll sit thru minor injuries and they'll embrace their worst playing habits because... its the Pelicans..... who gives a shite

So we are getting Zion?

And the Knicks would likely get the good version of Zion

Yes I’m sure the Knicks fan will love a guy who’s always injured and doesn’t play defense and no jump shot. That’s gonna end well!

My point being -- when he arrives at MSG suddenly those 'injuries' arent as serious and he starts doing all the things we wished he would do here

This is what I'm getting at. What's crazy is that the franchise of NO has ALWAYS held his minutes back and never allowed him to get into a rhythm by playing 10 minutes straight.
To be honest, I don't think he's ever played 10 minutes straight in his whole career and that counts periods where he was completely healthy. Never played 10 minutes in a row but nobody thinks that constantly starting and stopping your muscles from working could contribute to injury
No star player or player on Zions level has ever not played 10 minutes straight. It's so ridiculous it can give fans a reason to look at it as a reason he's constantly hurt, because no player has ever had to deal with this.

I don't see how this helps NY at all.
KAT is a fricking clown but a clown that can shoot.
Zion is hurt more, scores less, can't shoot.

That's about the most roundabout way for ignoring that someone has been fat, out of shape, and has had injury problems for the last 7 years that I have ever seen. It's 1000000% Zion's fault that he can't play 10 minutes straight. It's a him issue. He's borderline unplayable on defense in minute 1. What do you think he would look like at minute 11 or 12?

No way Knicks do this. They would rather Giannis if they are trading KAT.

He could move in with Jake Haener

Has the alternative ever helped?
We all know it hasn't, so Why not at least try it? Maybe he does get hurt. Maybe he has his first serious injury because of it. But all his injuries are shite they can be attributed to constantly starting and stopping working your muscles. It just gives folks an excuse.
If we never seen the alternative, and he is literally the only great player in NBA history who's minutes have been handled like this, wtf is wrong with at least trying something different?
What they have been doing has not worked AT ALL right? So why not?

KAT availability would make us better and it'll allow Queen to be more of a natural PF.
Zion would make NYC worse because they're undersized and lost shooting

Hold on now; when did this happen. Zion is or has been great?? When was this, and why was it not televised so we could watch?
Posted on 1/15/26 at 6:09 pm to Large Professor
Jonas filled that role pretty well. Oops

Better watch out for the dude who comes to tell you how bad your analysis of trades in thr nba are - he takes this shite serious.

How so? He was on Seth Meyers the other night and came across as a really likable guy; much moreso than Zion.
