Wonder if Houston could be a trade candidate for Zach. Something like:

HOU sends out Reggie Bullock, Jalen Green, Cam Whitmore, Victor Oladipo, Jock Landale plus some draft consideration

CHI sends out Zach

HOU does it because they want to win now and Zach is way better than Jalen Green. Zach takes offensive pressure off of FVV and FVV and Brooks take defensive pressure off of Zach. Zach is forced to play more off ball because Sengun runs a lot of their offense. They loose Green and Whitmore, but 1) They still can build around Thompson, Sengun, Smith, and Eason and that's still a lot and 2) Green looks somewhat unlikely to be the next Devin Booker or something, so chances of getting royally burned by this look slim.

CHI does it because Green and Whitmore are lottery tickets of some kind and oh who am I kidding they do it because I'm not sure there's a better deal to be had. I don't really like Green for pretty much exactly the same reasons why I don't really like Zach. And Whitmore might be a non-felonious Miles Bridges, but he's more likely to be Joey Graham so that's also little whatever for me. But this might be as good as it gets, I don't know.

Zach is just millenial Mitch Richmond. Excellent scorer that doesn't do anything else and doesn't contribute to winning.

I think someone would still trade for him but expectations need to be strongly tempered. a distant 1st is the best you're gonna get.

Regarding Coby, he has honestly improved over the years. His defense will never be above average due to physical limitations(T-rex arms mainly) but he can be solid just be giving effort. Still not feeling him a starting PG but he can be one of the best 6th men who can give 16
