    I'd trade CJ for Klay.

    Why would they demand a trade if they can just walk away ?

    Hell no. I actually prefer to root for likeable people, and not smug assholes.

    Whiteside may want to split

    Exactly. CJ is better IMO. Klay's D is overrated.

    That was a couple seasons ago. They've developed great chemistry and we're on the same page last season. That was one of their reasons for improvement. Bradley Beal isn't going anywhere. He's arguably just as valuable as John Wall and he's younger, at a position that's harder to find talent.

    Klay has that smug cockiness, do you agree with that?

    Avery Bradley I feel is likely to get traded. He's not technically a "star", but he can be just as impactful as some of the other guys mentioned here.

    I'd trade for him in a heartbeat.

    Yes. Sure. But it's easy to tell in his interviews. I've never seen a bad, smug, cocky interview with Lonzo.

    Why would they trade him when they've only just acquired him?

    Trade Deadline. Great contract, great player, and expiring. If they aren't in the playoff race, I could easily see them traded him and started the young buck Luke Kennard.

    I hope Davis demands a trade, and we offer Damian Lillard for him. Time to break up the Dame/CJ duo. We'll never be more than a mediocre team with that pair.

    I prefer to keep CJ, because he plays with more control. He doesn't shoot the team in the foot by forcing shit shots all the time. We could play twin towers with Nurk and Davis, which would be wicked defensively.

    How many games is Davis gonna miss with that wack knee injury he just got?

    You're not that cold if you're not on the court.

    Cousins is looking pretty amazing this year (and not just against us).

    Pretty clear that having Cousins and Davis together doesn't maximize either's talents.
