We don't have a lack of guys who can shoot well.
We have a lack of volume shooters. This is why trading CJ is very tricky, and if you don't get back another guy who shoots just as much, you're probably doomed to be dead last in the NBA in 3pt attempts.
CJ was an abomination in the postseason. But also, if we don't have regular season CJ who was basically the best 3pt shooter in the NBA, we likely don't even crack the top 10 to make the postseason.
Totally agree. We can't just dump CJ, as much of a postseason choker as he is, we can't replace his shooting unless you're getting a high volume guy back.
I can live with CJ for another year. I can't live with BI another year

Hawkins could easily replace his volume. Question is how effectively.

It's that we can't keep BI, then swap CJ for that "true point guard" everyone wants that doesn't shoot the 3 nearly as good and most importantly, nearly as much as CJ.
We already start Zion with only 1 volume shooter in CJ, we should not then start Zion with 0 volume shooters, that's going in the wrong direction.
The only way it makes sense to trade CJ is if you're also trading BI and somewhere in there, you're getting a volume shooter back. But I see no world where we trade both, so as I've been saying for 2 years now...it's BI. It was always BI.

Is this your first year of watching the NBA? Or do you think that CJ is a rookie?
