What if we don’t need a trade? Anyone actually think about that? I think people are taking this win the wrong way. It’s not that Zion missing helped us, it’s that playing hard on offense AND defense will yield these results on a consistent basis

I don't think it's about playing hard, but I will say that CJ being aggressive from outside helps the starters a lot.

A big part of the starters' problem has been that the opponent knows that Zion and BI are going to start the game initiating the offense and trying to push the ball inside the line.

If CJ is dancing outside and taking and making 3s from the jump, then that helps with the spacing and prevents the opponent from clogging the paint.
