We’d be lucky to get Zion and filler (Satoransky) for JB, so we need to stop dreaming of JV.
JB is a nice piece, but Zion is a potential HOFer. Would be a nice contrast to LeBron being a Laker, too. No-brainer to deal JB for Zion. Doubt we’d ever get that opportunity, though. If we did, the obvious next move is move pieces so we have cap room for a max free agent before Zion’s rookie contract ends (e.g., Beal). A Big 3 of Tatum, Zion and Beal would be a force, particularly if we can retain Smart, Timelord, G. Williams, Nesmith and add some ring-chasing vets.
