I don't want him to try to come back too soon and reactivate it. His hot streak seems to have run it's course anyway, and we are not making the playoffs
It’s not hate... it’s that when you get paid big money like CJ is then you are expected to live up to the contract or else the team has no chance. The most frustrating part as a fan is we have seen CJ’s limitations and lack of growth and Neil doubles down with an extension a year before he had to. Now we are stuck with no flexibility again in Dames last 4 good years... it’s like the 2016 summer all over again.
After the way Blazer fans raged at Sheed, or Bonzi, or Randolph saying they "hate" CJ is quite an over-statement.
I will let Dame and the medical staff decide, not S2. At least I don't have to be upset about having theater tickets Sunday afternoon.
I have no problem with Dame suggesting that Booker replace him. Apparently he didn't even consider the *thought* of mentioning CJ as a potential all-star replacement. https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.fcgi?request=1&sum=0&player_id1_hint=CJ McCollum&player_id1_select=CJ McCollum&y1=2020&player_id1=mccolcj01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Devin Booker&player_id2_select=Devin Booker&y2=2020&player_id2=bookede01&idx=players The major difference I see offensively is that Booker is MUCH better at getting to the line, so his scoring averages are higher. I have to wonder what talent level Dame views CJ as being. I'm also wondering if Dame is starting to get frustrated with the lack of help....
With Steph and Klay out, CJ had a huuuuge opportunity to make it to the All Star game, but he got his money and that's all he cares. If you follow him on Instagram and Twitter, you get a clue of what his goals are and how his character is. He allways seemed like a big ego to me. He will never make it to an All Star game
