That is a line from Bilbo Baggins's speech at his eleventy-first birthday party in The Lord of the Rings. BNM
Except for when he almost refused to play CJ so instead Olshey has to go out and trade 3 players and a 1st round pick for Afflalo. 'Magically', when CJ got minutes the next season, he was good. If Stotts would have played him the year before, he would have been just fine and it would have kept Portland from that terrible trade.
IDK in 14-15 CJ had 6 DNPCD's(including the last game where everyone sat against Dallas). & missed 14 games due to injury. It's far more accurate to say. Stotts, Aldridge, and co refused to not give Aldridge 20+ shot attempts a game and let the guards make Aldridge's life easier. Therefore letting CJ dribble, dribble, dribble was not an option for that team.
Ill go a step further in that it might have made us a true contender. Picture this. With CJ getting regular (possibly 6th man) minutes that year, it would have taken a bit less off of Wes and maybe he never gets injured? So we march into those playoffs with the healthy team that was a top 4 with an emerging true 6th man in CJ. I dunno. I think that team with the CJ of last year playing as our 6th man? Tough Tough to beat. CJ would have been scorching the second units.
