Thats where we are at. His value is low. Only a team like the Lakers would be willing to trade good assets for him. He's never going to bust out here. This would be his best shot to reclaim his game. If you like him (i dont

I just want him gone. I was actually up for cutting him at the end of the year. If some other team wants to give up real value, then I'm all for it.
I hate the Lakers, but it would be fascinating for him to be moved there

So you believe that current management is doing a good job and are managing our roster/cap correctly?
Do you realize we are going to be a 20 win team this year. We are going to spend close to 180M. The Pistons are currently

Why? What is the benefit?
I believe any reasonable fan can look at our roster and find 50-60M in wasteful spending. Why not tighten that up?

This season is over. We should be focused on how to re-tool and prepare for next season. The salary cap for next season is projected to be at about 155M (with a floor of about 140M). Given that we will be a borderline playoff team, at best. It would be dumb to spend over the 155M line.

It is insane that we waited this long to make a move. One day left and we are still a tax team. The season is over, tear it down and stock up assets.

There are a lot of things to question with Zion, but not his on court production. Come on now.

Lakers aren't done and are seeking a 2nd star to pair with Luka long term. If we wanted to flip Zion, they would probably be all over it. They don't have a ton to deal, but they could build something out of Reaves, Knecht and pieces/picks..

Castle is a future star. Getting him in his rookie year is a steal. I'm sure the Kings will get much more in the deal too. It's a nice reset. Derozan is making noise ab

This would be pretty simple. Contracts are guaranteed, only if you play. If you miss a game, you receive only 50% of your pay. It would pretty easy to adjust the contracts and would be hard to argue against. It's fair for both sides. It's a performance business. If the talent
