Do they expect borrego(who was already on the staff with the 2-10 start) to turn it around? Lol I get how it all works, but it's just kinda ridiculous.
Borrego was brought in for this very moment. He has experience and is a bit tougher, organized. Roster issues notwithstanding, Zion is not a reliable player, Green can both be pitied and this can be the right play, based on Green's body of work and feedback here from fans who watch the team on a regular basis.
Dumars made a huge risky move but it was part of a plan, I believe one Grizz are on, which is 1. have a timeline to make things work with your star 2. if/ when it doesn't, move on. I believe we are far closer to 2 for both teams based on their drastic moves.
Dumars traded for Queen and got bent over for it as a Zion buoy/replacement and because the cost was so high it forces the team to try to be competitive, like Hawks when they traded for Murray. They did well in their return for him, and Pels can do well in their return for Zion who is afterall still young and actually competes and is electrifying when he plays. His issues are not Morant's and neither is his on court attitude.
When the return is whatever it is, Borrego, a new voice, and a more balanced roster (KAT? I've long thought NYK traded for him as a Zion flip - this is my player/team on a long winding path towards one another interpretation) will do better.
Pels have talent. Hopefully Borrego can better channel the sum of their parts.

How do you figure? This is supposed to be Zion’s “healthy, in-shape” season and he’s played 5 games.
Even if the guy is in better shape he still can’t stay healthy. His on-court attitude doesn’t mean anything when he can’t play half of the games.

I’d keep Murphy and Jones unless I got an offer I couldn’t refuse and trade Zion for whatever I could get. Move Poole just to get him away from your young guys, even if it means taking on another bad contract. Let Murray try to rehab his value midseason, then trade him, if possible.
Also, play Queen and Missi together to see if it can be a Karl-Anthony Towns/Mitchell Robinson type pairing, with Queen playing the Towns role and Missi playing the Robinson role.
Towns can stretch the floor but Queen and Missi both can't
