Zion would be an insane gamble from both a maturity standpoint and an availability standpoint. He has only played 17 more games than LaMelo since 2022.

I'd gamble, miles josh green and 2-3 firsts especially if we could trade both this years and 1 future

Zion is my favorite "budget" addition. Bothers me that he doesn't rebound like he should, but cost wise I'd rather gamble on him than what it would take to get Giannis who doesn't have history on his side with his age. 

I'm still curious to see what GSW does. If they can't bring Curry help, I think it will reach the point where he asks to come here. At that point, all bets are off and I assume they'd ask for LaMelo. Big 3 team trade where we bring in Curry and another star while keeping Kon? I'd be tempted.

You can't trade melo for 38 year old curry unless they're giving picks. I'd give them miles josh green and white (provided we sign and trade) for Curry.

Would you include melo in a trade for Giannis?

Not personally, definitely not if we can't sign white long term. I don't know that I would want giannis as dumb as that sounds. He would stunt Kon and millers development. If those guys can grow into allstars then adding an aging superstar may not be best. I think if they could keep melo miller and kon I would trade for giannis assuming they'd have to make real noise in the next 2 years for it to make sense

Oh they're definitely giving more in this scenario. There's picks or they're helping facilitate another guy coming here.

I don't know what Curry would add here that would make a huge difference given how many 3's this team already attempts and our lack of points in the paint.

Wembanyama is basically a tall ass spaghetti noodle and he's dropping 39 points in playoff wins.

Hornets need to make a BIG move for a multi level shot creator.
