    Trading the pick for Zion is like selecting Zack Collins again where we did...

    I don't like the idea of this number 11 pick being included in a package for Zion but I'm still interested in Scoot, Deandre and the worst of the 2029 FRPs for him. That's got to be considered as more than the value of two future FRPs that are guaranteed to convey that the Pels were reported to be wanting for Zion.

    Trading a #3 pick two years into the league for a guy who has played a quarter of his games in 6 years time is the type of team building the Mavericks can only dream of...

    So does that mean we'd end up with the #1 in 2026?

    I guess if we can get that guarantee I'd be open to it.

    Wonder how much his value has dropped?

    I wouldn't be out on Zion just because of these accusations. I definitely would need to hear his side of the story and wouldn't want him if the allegations were true and were the whole story.

    I do think something like this has to hurt his value a little bit but maybe the Pels knew this was coming out, they knew they weren't going to get a haul for him because of it and that's why he was their rep at the lotto and that's why they started saying that they're moving forward building around him.

    If we traded Simons to Orlando and get the 16th pick back in a trade. Would you then entertain a trade, trading 16, Scoot and Ayton for Zion and Alvarado?

    Yes.
    Though, I get the feeling this isn't a serious question...
