We need a True Point and a stretch Center

Pretty much nobody uses a "true point" anymore, and we need a mobile rim protector at the 5, not a stretch 5.

I swear this is like the people pushing Trae

In the playoffs, our D does not work, because too many of our guys can be isolated and hunted. Jonas (in certain matchups), CJ, BI, Jose, and Nance are all defensive liabilities in the playoffs.

We are likely losing Naji.

As long as Willie is here, trying to pretend we will be this all offense, meh defense team is silly. He'll bench KAT and Trae and Willie would be at war

Said at the deadline I'd have been willing to move BI in a deal for Murray & Cappella. Neither is as good as Brandon, but the fit is better and the price is cheaper longterm.

Murray averages about the same production as BI, but takes many more threes, can handle the ball in the clutch and is a better defender, though not quite as long as BI.

Cappella has limitations, but he averages a double double on 25 minutes a night, is still pretty mobile and offers some rim protection (1.5 blks/game)

A line up of Murray/Herb/Trey/Zion/Cappella is long and switchable on defense and offers more three point shooting on offense. CJ would give you 25-30 minutes off the bench and anchor the second unit as he transitions into an older player. You could also look to move him, but he's got value as a bench scorer and good off ball shooter.
