re: Let's say you make the Trae/Center move...is trading CJ a "must"?

No one is going to change their minds here.

I still contend we are in the shittiest of spots where we have to do a soft reboot (i.e. move BI) and make a move that immediately puts us in contention because we really can't afford to waste anymore Zion years before the inevitable extension or request a trade moment hits. I just don't see any moves out there that accomplishes that.
