Go get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idc how!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as it’s no for Brunson or Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really don’t want him here.

It would be absolutely insane to pair KAT, Zion, and Brunson together on the defensive end. It's one of those "crazy enough to work" situations...

But, in theory, Bridges + Mitch for Zion + scraps could work if you get a 3rd team involved to grease the cap limits.

Zion
KAT / Precious
OG
Hart / Deuce
Brunson / Payne

It gives us a longer runway tbh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Kat and Brunson era flops we can just pivot to building around Zion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It depends on which Zion you get... right now it's a massive risk because Bridges is a guy that fits this team in theory and he's crazy durable. Zion has missed more games than he's played. I love Zion's upside potential but I'm wary... very wary...

[HarthorneWingo]

No Zion

[3toheadmelo]

Brunson KAT and Zion would be the worst defensive trio of all time

If you love Mitch’s time out due to broken feet, you’re gonna Loveeeeeeeee fat Zion

Utah rested Kessler tonight, literally DNP-rest. What are they resting him for?

They were trying to collect the loss vs the Nets but they won, which I'll assume they considered an unfortunate turn of events.

I think they are in the process of gift-wrapping us Kessler and Sexton.

Man I really hope, if its for Mitch, Deuce, seconds, just do it at this point

We should be looking at guys like Deandre Hunter, Tre Murphy III, or Deni (POR).... doubt either of those 3 are available but guys like that. 2-way, tall-ish 3&D dudes with upside who can give you 30 mins off the bench or who could push Hart to the bench and start next to OG. I'd pay a good price for that.

We should be looking at guys that fit the description of guys we probably can't get. Who would that be?

Jimmy Butler

There's too many pizzerias in NYC for Zion to come here and be under 400lbs.

[Knicks Byke]

Zion off the bench.

His value is low, send a couple 2nd rounders and Deuce lol.

nah idk.

[Wildcat]

I'm not advocating for the deal, but I don't think Zion is a bad defender. I have no stats to proof this, though, and I could be completely wrong. I honestly only seen him play in a couple of games for a number of reasons.

Zion in one of the food capitals of the world? He'd be heavier than the combined weight of Shaq, Eddy Curry and Tractor Traylor.

If the Pels are willing to trade him for scraps just to get rid of him, then fine. Otherwise, it's a high risk situation that could potentially ruin our championship window and set the franchise back to the Isaiah Thomas days.

[Spree2Houston]

The spacing would be eaten up with Zion. No pun intended

He’d have more rolls on the back of his neck than Clarence Weatherspoon,

[seren]

I don’t think we have the contracts to match him but I wouldn’t mind him off the bench. At least Thibs would be forced to give him 20 minutes off the bench

[seren]

Not sure anyone looked into this but it looks like we may not be able to get any better next season. With Brunson’s new salary we would still be above first apron unless we make moves. That means no mid level. Just more minimum salaries.
