Possibly, from an ANA pov. A ‘25 pick in general would be nowhere near the top of the target list in a Z trade (they’re trying to turn the corner on the rebuild, not extend it), but with where CHI might end up next year that could be worth it. That said, the upside of an unprotected pick would be necessary, especially to avoid any chance that it becomes a ‘26 pick that isn’t helping them until 2028.
As a note though, I’d bet you’ve watched little to none of Z’s play this year (which is understandable, we suck) based on the comment that he plays zero defense. His defensive development under Cronin is honestly undeniable if you watch even just a one game sample. Hell, even his stats show it pretty clearly
