    Most of his metrics are about as solid as Tobias Harris when he was traded for Blake. And he's 24. And his contract is DECLINING.

    I kinda like Bogdan Bogdanovic (The Kings' one). He's stuck on the bench too. Him + something interesting I might like

    So I get no credit for being proactive about it because you didn't think Simons was good?

    My bad.

    Shows how much Blake was really worth. No way we could get a Boban for CJ.

    LOL, no, but it's a bit disingenuous to people who have been on here recognizing problems before they happen to just dismiss them because you didn't feel that way.

    Yeah now that we let good players like Hark, Curry, Aminu, Leonard, Kantor go and replaced them with garbage, it’s time to rinse and repeat with one of our few remaining good players.

    CJ seems to have lost some lift. Anyone else notice that? He is getting blocked at the rim more and also in the short jumpers. Maybe it is losing his off arm for offensive fouls, but the extra lift/speed Dame uses to get to the rim and get jumpers off doesn't seem to be there for CJ--who is slightly taller.

    Not only are we not getting rid of CJ, we're doubling down and bringing in the ultimate ball hog Senpai for him.

    you know who else didn’t run plays often? Phil Jackson. You know who else was criticized for “shooting every time”? Kobe.

    You honestly believe Olshey wouldn’t have traded CJ for Kawai...? Sounds like a strawman argument.

    We are far better off with CJ than Butler. Olshey knows the value of culture, personality, and chemistry. there’s a reason Olshey, Dame, and Stotts are all very high on CJ. He is an elite scorer, an adept passer, and an excellent teammate.

    everyone wants to blame CJ because the blazers are a small market team that can never attract the free agents necessary to contend. The irony of blaming one of the only players who is willing to play with passion for your city is lost on all of you.

    CJ will be fine and he's not getting traded in my view...people don't say much about it but CJs defensive effort is much better this season...maybe because he wasn't hitting shots but he's playing that side of the ball better than he has in the past

    If CJ was as good as Kobe I'm sure way more people would be ok with him shooting everytime. But CJ is not even an all star let alone an MVP and perennial 1st team all NBA. Dumb take
