But is it reasonable to ask for package comparable to a legit NBA superstar that has proven to win at the highest stages for someone who has documented issues staying healthy despite his elite talent?
Yes. That elite talent is 22 years old and when he’s been on the court he’s shown he is among the best players in the NBA. You have every right to ask for the moon and the stars and get it if you come off a guy like that.
We’re not talking about someone that’s all star level but just hasn’t been able to stay healthy, we’re talking a guy thats MVP level/potential to be one of the greatest to ever suit up.

Absolutely. He's better than AD at this age, and better than 95 of the league already. If this dude can get it together between the ears he's gonna be the next LeBron in terms of how unstoppable he'll be

Yeah I personally think your value is way too high for him currently. You’re putting his value all on his potential and propensity to stay healthy when he hasn’t. I think you had it right the first time- he’s an all star who hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Saying hes potential mvp level and potentially one of the best to ever suit up when dude has played over 30 games once in his 4 seasons, personally seems like a lot. I get hes elite in his limited time but to be a mvp you have to consistently be elite for the whole season (65 games) and even be considered as one of the best ever you need consistently put seasons like that together. But again if your not looking to trade him at all- that’s probably the package you would look for. I just dont trust his health issues and if someone offered me a very high draft pick and/or legitimate all star like player in return I would trade him.

Lol, earlier today I say to that guy “the rest league doesn’t value Zion as highly as we do and they’re going to try to fleece us in any trade. It would be stupid to trade him at his lowest value.” Yet somehow he appears to have retained something far different.
Zion’s ceiling hasn’t changed. He still has the potential to be a multi-time MVP, which about as high as it gets. Words like “potential” and “ceiling” do not take into consideration potential injuries that could occur in the future.
His trade stock is as low as it’s ever been, but his potential ceiling is the same. Trading him would be silly
