The Murray + Center deal for BI and a 1st was where i would’ve made my move..CJ going back to his natural catch and shoot position at the 2 with Trey stepping into that staring role at the 3. But i get the hesitation - we were on a roll but mannn.

Look, just get a PG this summer. Any of these may work IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES:

Chris Paul - honestly, what would it realistically take? He on a no guaranteed 30mil deal for next yr..that ain’t happening. Imagine him being the Mike Conley of our squad..it would be perfect. He’s a floor general who will murder opposing defenses if they sag.

Gabe Vincent - LA may try to accumulate picks to use in a different trade if they run it back.

Colin Sexton - he’s my pick, go get him.
OR
Jordan Clarkson - not sure if he’s a fit but he can absolutely score from the PG position.

VanFleet? Extremely expensive but would you take him if available for CJ or BI?

Just get a legit point guard to orchestrate the offense and it’ll all come together.

Bad basketball player, should not be in any 11 man rotation we have.

He also doesn't fit what you asked for in a point guard. Probably because he really doesn't do anything well.

The PG won't matter if we don't have an offense with choices.

The fact of the matter is if we give BI a 30% max, we will be a small market tax team while Zion is only 24 with limited ability to improve. I don't care about Benson's money, but she does. Reality of the situation is she will only pay the tax if we are close to a championship.

We are not close to a championship with Ingram as our #2 to Zion. Signing BI to a max extension just puts an anchor arouind our neck and makes us desperate to win now. We'll make some bad trades for a center and we'll never make it past the 2nd round.
