The point of Point Zion is for ZION to run the POINT
I fully admit I don’t watch enough Trae to know how good of a fit he would be, but I disagree completely with this assertion that Zion needs to run the offense. Zion just needs the ball in space heading down hill, he doesn’t have to be the QB, he can be the elusive RB lined up in the slot to attack mismatches in space.
It really is a shame BI was too soft for Stan, because when Stan finally focused on the offense he put some interesting actions in. I loved the one where the PG attacked the paint from one side and Zion was in the dunker’s spot on the opposite side and would curl into the lane to get the ball about 8 feet from the basket with a head of steam and the defense out of position. It boggles my mind how Willie hasn’t incorporated more actions like that.

I have zero concern about the offensive fit, Murray averaged 21/5/5 in games that Trae played this season, so it's not like he's so ball dominant that another player can't still put up numbers with him on the court. But, if we trade for Trae we need to pair him with an elite rim protector and we need to keep Herb.
I have zero idea if it's realistic to keep Herb while adding Trae and an elite rim protector (someone like JA, Claxton, IH, etc...), but that is the only route that I think makes sense if you're trading for Trae.
Rim protector
Zion
Hopefully Trey
Herb
Trae
Is a very good starting 5 that should still be good on defense and has a ton of offensive potential.

If that's what we do with a supposedly transcendental star, we're doomed to mediocrity. You're talking about a transcendental overall #1 pick becoming little more than a cutter off the ball.
