I would probably go Garland. One of the reasons is I think Trae offers a lot of the same issues BI does, specifically his next deal. Trae essentially only has two years left on his deal, he could opt out in 2026, then you have to pay him. Which do you really want to give him whatever his max would be at that point? At least Garland's deal is until 2028.

To me its 2 years to figure out if he works with Zion. Meanwhile you’re stuck with Garland regardless.

Trae’s next deal would still be for 30% of the cap which is where he is currently, so yes I wouldn’t mind it one bit.

He would be at 8-9 years in league which means he’s not eligible for the 35% supermax unless he makes the next two all pro teams, which in that case it means it’s working great and he’s worth the 35%
