Yalls hate for CJ is unmatched. I get that he wasn’t clutch but he’s asked to do too much at times. He arguably was the best 3 point shooter in the league this year. And you want that guy who’s on a team that refuses to shoot 3s to leave?

BI needs to go because the fit is off and he isn’t worth $50m/season to us.

Taking a bit of a loss on value isn’t necessarily the issue if what we get back fits much better and plugs holes at point, center, or microwave off the bench.


CJ probably needs to go but that is a salary issue more than play for me. We need some new pieces and a $30m+ salary is needed to match for what we get past whatever BI brings in.


Nance probably goes for the same reasons as CJ.




Past that, I think we have three of five starters locked in along with some key subs.

Trey can shoot the same amount of 3's in the starting lineup, and he can actually play decent defense. SGA had a hard time against Trey one on one. CJ's defense in that sweep was beyond terrible.
With defense that bad, he needs to score 30+ a night.

I think some of you are underestimating how bad his defense was. They were scoring at will on him, and it wasn't just SGA.

$30M for a guy to just shoot 3's and be terrible on defense? Again, Trey can take that role, and Hawkins can take Trey's bench role. Hell you might as well go trade him for Trae Young. His defense was that bad.

Not just that, he’s the best shooter on the team

People think just because of his age and bad play in 4 games when he was trying to be the #1 due to Ingram shitting the bed that he’s washed up

I don’t hate CJ one bit. I hate his contract. Still a very valuable player but not $32 million worth anymore. His game is aging well though because he is a pro’s pro and takes care of his body. His presence is needed with Zion becoming close with him. I just wish there were a way to get that contract down to $25 mil per year.
