Imagine the talent we could get by trading Zion, I’m a strong believer, that if you don’t wanna be here you can go.

We're not getting anything great for him and the money will have to somewhat match. He's in Zach Lavine-land now. Who wants that long term contract of Zion's?

A lottery protected 1 and an overpaid "star" for Zion? I think that's about all we can get

Back in his rookie year, when the story came out that he was eating whole pizza by himself that told me all I needed to know about this kid, he wasn’t in it 100% at least not with this team

Nice win considering BI and Herb played well while still needing to knock off some rust. I glad they finally showed the graphic that Trey plays best when on the floor with Ingram. This is the 1st game all year they've been on the floor together. Let that sink in. What a rotten season for an otherwise playoff caliber team when healthy.

zion is the albatross not BI but if we trade zion he will play 82 games for someone else

82 games over the course of the remainder of his career?

Been saying this... Build around BI, DM, Trey, Herb, Missi, and Hawk... At least BI can shoot and be available for more than half a season... If Z suddenly gets healthy somewhere else... so be it... He can't do it here, so I don't care. The cycle has to end here if we are going to be competitive.

BI is proving this year that he can be the guy.... He has increased his 3PTA to 6.6 (from 3.8 last year) and his 3PT% to 37% (from 35% last year) and he is averaging 23/6/5 on 47% shooting overall on the season (top 25 scorer).... and has played in 17 of 22 games so far... That's a modern NBA player you can build around.

I’m starting to somewhat come around to this idea.

BI if we can get him at 3/120 or 4/160 with an option would not be an immovable contract later on if we had to move him. I do not on the other hand advocate giving him 50 a year.

I am still fine trading both BI and Zion as I just am not believers in them BUT I could see a scenario to stick with BI at a reasonable price at least for now.

Zion Williamson is detestable these days and would do almost anything to get the cloud over the team off. I can live with BI for a while longer at a reasonable rate,I cannot live with Zion.

No one in the league believes this about him or they would’ve traded for him already.

He isn’t a star in my(and others) mind. Anthony Davis and especially Chris Paul were stars.

What has Zion done in this league to get star status? He’s far more of a name these days than actual substance.
