Some players just donโ€™t have a strong impact on winning. I fear Zach is one of them ones

I guess. But MPJ doesn't have an impact on winning either, so it's close to a moot point. MPJ was actually on record was saying he's mad that people have higher expectations of him because he's making more money being on a Max deal

Jokic plays very well with slashers at the rim. Murray, Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, Westbrook, etc. Zach on that team would be crazy. And on top of that Zach is just as good at spot up shooting as MPJ is. Zach on the Bulls is a #2 option. On the Nuggets, he'll be at best a #4 option. The trade for Zach to go the Nuggets makes too much sense

Bulls shouldn't even trade him now. They won too many games to be a bottom 6 team.

The only bottom feeding team that I can see going on a run and getting out of the tanking zone is Philly once they get healthy.

Now... It's not worth it because if you trade Zach for a worse or neutral return AND you still don't keep the pick, you're in a worse position than just keeping him.

:unimpressed:

Team is too deep even after you move Zach and Vuc to slide in the abyss

As long as he can create his own shot when the Nuggets need him, he doesn't need to do much else. He doesn't need to have "strong impact on winning" because Jokic has already got that covered. He just needs to provide them with timely buckets and be a threat to score (which MPJ doesn't do).
