    You didn't see how he was getting USED the other night by multiple Blazers? He's not even Harkless good at D...

    I'm sorry. CJ is worth MUCH more.

    i want to trade for someone proven, not someone who is struggling to be avg, but may MAY end up being decent.

    He needs to be the primary scorer on offense. That's how the Celtics played him. The problem with that is that you can completely shut down their offense if you shut down Thomas. That's what Atlanta did to them a few years ago. He was completely ineffective so the Celtics died. I could see him being the best player on a shitty team, so Sac would make sense, or Phoenix.

    I wouldn't do it. CJ is a MUCH better player. And CJ is a better defender than Wiggins as well. Eye test and Numbers.

    Edit: Wiggins gets one more attempt at the line but can't shoot free throws to save his life. Also he gets the same number of rebounds as CJ??? He should be getting 7+ per game.

    Also factor in CJ is 4 years older. I agree - CJ is the better player. I think Wiggins will get better. I also have no idea what CJ would get around the league. Ideally I’d like to keep him and Lillard and somehow drastically improve the other positions but not sure how to do so without giving some value up.

    Wiggins will always be a sub par defender. His coach is Thibs and he's still horrible on D.

    That was so shocking it made me run a comparison between Wiggins and Barnes to see who was the bigger garbage heap...and I decided to toss in Turner as a reference point.
    Conclusion: These guys are all huge piles of steaming garbage!
