    Since it'll take more than the 3 hours left in the trade deadline to finalize the deal Gee has zero trade value.

    Okay so what about CJ? Wasn't one of the issues being CJ and Afflalo have the same agent?

    I'm still not sold on CJ. He's had a few good games lately, and that's great, but Afflalo is a legit 6'5 shooting guard who can score in bunches. CJ becomes an afterthought for me.

    Afflalo attempted almost 5 free throws last year with Orlando. I think he's ready to break out again on this squad and attack the rim more.

    33% from 3 isn't bad.

    Oh don't get me wrong... I definitely agree Afflalo, right now, is amazingly better than anything CJ can bring at this moment. Maybe later on down the road, but this is definitely a "win now" move.

    I'm just asking will this create a problem with CJ and his agent?

    That's what I'm hoping for. Also, I watched him this season and saw he actually has a post up game. It just wasn't utilized in Denver

    Psst, it's not necessarily about CJ as his agent. Agents can influence a player to stay or bolt. We want Afflalo for more than 1 year. Piss off the agent and you may lose the player you really want

    Guess its not a big deal.

    Would be awesome if CJ plays so damn well he steals a few of Blakes minutes. Blakes been solid but he isn't getting any younger and CJ still has over 2 years left on a rookie contract.

    Yeah he's shooting 40% but only taking half a three per game.

    Half a three.

    I still think Afflalo and CJ can play together.
