he's only 21, but I have not yet seen evidence he will produce at a level beyond a vet minimum center and he will be owed >2x the vet minimum if we pick up his 4th year option.

Not encouraging that in many respects he looks either the same or worse than he did last season

ha, should've known better thanks

it interestingly would offer a potential route for us to get our own pick back in this draft

in his career he has 6 total FGA in the last 30 seconds tied or behind up to 3 points. I think for most of his career that has not been a Trey issue but rather an issue of other players wanting the shot, a coach unable to conceive of a play for him, and defenses knowing he had to be guarded

I can count 20-25 players who make more money and are rarely or never counted on to be their team's best offensive player.

I'm not going to jump on Trey on a night when he might've had the best statistical game of his career.

*25 million

*14

I think the Hawks/Hornets/Grizzlies would bargain for no draft compensation going out with those players, but Dumars could always just cut Zion himself, so he has leverage.

The only way to botch it would be for us to just do the trade straight up without us getting compensation.

*will always be

No, which is why it's been hard to understand why people want him to take it so badly. There is always be a better shot.

Zion can get that elbow jumper everyone wants him to take with plenty of space to shoot

that makes sense, and it makes sense to do sprint conditioning to rehabilitate a hamstring injury. But, I don't know how that should be a condition to help him get off the minutes restriction unless they are measuring the strength of his hamstring muscles during these sprints somehow

it's not going to work against most teams

Meanwhile, after Fears smoked that last layup he is 52/91 (57%) at the rim this season vs 67% league average.

The rookies are promising but tonight was not their night (-24 and -28 in a 5 point loss)
