I agree that Trae holds the ball too much but you dont average 11 APG by accident. Trae is a very good passer and distributor.


I think the point is that Trae Young gives you a different, but equally bad situation that BI gives you. He’s a stat hog that doesn’t play winning basketball. I think a Trae/Mccollum backcourt is one of the worst defensive pairings in the league and that combo takes the ball out of everyone else’s hands way too much.

I know people don’t like Trae and I have my issues with him but I wouldn’t compare him to BI. Hes an offensive machine who has won in the playoffs, offensively is made for todays NBA and can help your team win.

That being said he has major defensive issues and you likely have to trade CJ if you get Trae. But the dynamic of a Trae/Zion pick and roll would be ridiculously fun to watch.

My response isn't really about defending Young but to point out that any move we make for the long term should only have our core in consideration. CJ is a short term guy with two years left on the contact, we should be thinking about the long term rather the short term for a major move like this.
