CJ not going get you star player he might get a pretty good player and might get a draft pick. But olshey needs to balance the roster 1-12 reason for that 13 and 14 probably in there development stage. Blazer needs legit backup point and center position. CJ late in the season did a terrible job leading the 2nd unit. Kanter yes big time offense rebounder but you really don't get much after that plus must know how to protect the rim. Simons and Nas has take big step this year to help the team. CJ contract will help get some quality players and even save some salary cap.
I actually liked those Sonics teams (I know, sacrilegious). Some of my favorite players (Johnson, Pierce, Payton, Barry, Kemp) Played on the Sonics.
Another way: sticking it to the Lakers Their hope is to turn Kuzma into Sexton Neil lands Sexton to be our 6th man. Lovely.
