Lots of rumors swirling around about the availability of Ingram and Zion... If you're Masai and you want to trade for that depreciated star this deadline to join the Raps, and these are your 2 options... Who are you trading for?

Neither.
Ingram doesn't move the needle, and Toronto has a good food scene.

Neither. If it's between the two, Zion. Do I ever think he'll be healthy? No. But there's the RJ connection, and he's probably good for a poster dunk every so often. I don't see Ingram elevating things significantly enough.

More than the options, what are the actual deals?

depends on the actual trade.

Zion is a much better player than Ingram. But Zion is always injured and won't have a long career. Ingram is just an RJ clone.

I don't want either one, unless Zion can be had for extremely cheap.

Ingram

Both lol all vets + rj for both.

rehab both and draft Harper

Harper
Quickly
Ingram
Barnes
Zion

Tank and then try to get the best player possible in the offseason. Only thing that changes this is if a star player lands in your lap for practically nothing, which I doubt.

Zion and Poutine would be like prime Kobe and Shaq.

You need a proper center. You saw Zion against Poeltl.

We won't need both as we have Scottie. but could use either with Yak in the lineup


Harper
Rj/iq one if them 6th man
Ingram
Scottie
Yak

Or

Harper
Rj/iq one if them 6th man
Scottie
Zion
Yak

All will work! Key is to get a superstar point guard imo

ZIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Zion. Highest upside. Lowest value. Could have a star running mate for Scottie or a huge expiring at the end of next trade deadline

You take Zion not even a question, in fact for the attention and attraction alone Zion is a star and MLSE would not think twice about acquiring him if he's available.

I would trade for a Zion, if Alex McKechnie's thinks he can work his sports science magic.

Neither please

Give me Zion. We can fix him

I voted Zion because in a vacuum he’s the better talent. His health and fitness will always be a concern though. So much so that if we’re talking who to trade for I’d ague BI. I think we can get him for Brown’s expiring, Olynyk and Indy’s pick. If we’re sure we can resign him to a deal somewhere between IQ and SB’s AAV then it’s a no brainer. Solid asset management.

Yak
SB
BI
RJ
Quick

Is a solid starting unit.

Dick, Ochai, Walter, Shesd, Mogbo are great bench pieces although light on bigs.

Not including picks and FA’s, that’s a playoff team next year.

I heard Fox is available

Jakob for Turner might be a better fit for Zion

I'm not overly interested in either right now. I don't think we are at the point where we make those kind of moves.

It's kind of a moot point unless we know what is outbound.
