An example of what his game should look like is what CJ has done this year.
OK, then trade CJ and go get someone to take the #2 spot on this team from BI and make him a #3 role player.
BI is not a role player. CJ, for the first time in his career, was a role player this year. He's always been the #2 on the team, even when he's been here b/c Zion or BI were always hurt. This was the first year he was truely not the #2 guy, and that makes it a hell of a lot easier to just shoot 3's and layups.
21% of his shots this year were mid range shots during the 35 game window with a healthy Zion and BI after christmas until BI was hurt on 3/21. In the 12 games without BI, he went nucleur from 3 shooting 11 a game and hitting them at 48%, but his mid range game jumped up to 34% of his shots. Wierd huh. The previous year when he was mainly the #2 all year, 39% of his shots were mid range shots.
CJ's role changed, which is why his shot chart changed. Yes i still give him credit for changing that shot chart, but the #3 role plays a huge role in it.
If you guys want to replace BI with a 3 point shooting role player, like Trey, then CJ is going to take more mid range shots b/c he's going to be the #2 guy again.
CJ is an elite #3 guy to have, and i'd like to keep it that way. If BI isn't the #2 guy we need, then we need another #2 guy, not another #3. It's why I say Lauri or KAT can replace BI b/c they can be the #2 guy b/c they are capable of getting their own shot off whenever they want. CJ can struggle when someone big gets switched onto him, and he reverts to either a step back 3 that gets challenged or a running mid range shot b/c he cant take a jump shot and rise up over defenders like BI can.

I've been saying for over a year that CJ is the guy that goes when the money forces decisions to get made. I am not in the trade BI camp, at least not the Addition by Subtraction camp where a good starter like Jarrett Allen is the best player you get back. Maybe I should be, because I can see it being addition by subtraction, but if you trade a quarter for 3-4 dimes, I don't see an easy path to add another quarter to the team in the future, and stacking quarters matters in the playoffs.
