It probably depends on how well they do in the playoffs. But I figure if anyone could use CJ it's them. 1. They need outside shooting. 2. It doesn't matter that he's undersized for a SG because they've got the biggest PG basically ever. 3. They also kind of need secondary ball handling 4. Their defense is good enough at the other positions to compensate for him. I'm almost 100% sure that if we asked what they'd be prepared to give up, they'd say Tobias Harris, at which point I think I would lose interest (unless he was the first step to acquiring BOBAN!!!!)
Yeah, I think he’s a pretty good fit there too. I think they have enough length to cover up for his deficiencies too.
CJ to Philly makes sense. However, I'd prefer to have Tobias over that platter of mediocre players. Josh Richardson -> meh. Don't want him as a starter. A bench guy would be fine. Mike Scott -> Best thing about him is his name.... Zhaire Smith -> Has potential, but looks to be a bust at this point. Matissse Thybulle -> Best asset in the trade. See him as a fringe starter-level player in the future. O'Quinn -> Is a FA and can't legally be included in the trade.
The platter is just Richardson, Thybulle and filler. I like Richardson better than Tobias mostly because he's more versatile and historically a better defender. For some reason he doesn't seem to fit as well in Philly as he did in Miami - maybe because they need better outside shooting in a SG. And Thybulle is the real catch. If we had those two in our starting five, we would be transformed defensively. (I would give Smith one SL to prove that there's something there. Or possibly do what Memphis did with Josh Jackson when they got him from the Suns.)
Im not sure how he had three games in a row with 10+ assists if he shoots every time he touches it. Thats pretty impressive!
