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

He's also never played with someone as dominant as Zion. He might be a lot more accepting of taking more C&S 3's with Zion on the court b/c he respects him as a great player more than he does anyone else he's played with.
I just don't see how a dude who has been the guy everywhere he has been since high school will suddenly be ok being relegated to #2. This isn't 2K, it will take at least one season and some of a second season for that to work. And it's not a given that it ever will.

Yeah but this applies to most stars coming in to play with Zion. It will take time. And nothing is ever a given. I mean can you name me a star these things wouldn’t be an issue with?

I think being a small market team you have to swing for the fences and get the best guy possible if you can. Sure, it's the "hope for the best" strategy, but again, if we don't get the best player, we're kind of doing the same thing...hoping for the best with a team we know is just not good enough.

At some point they realize they can't win it by themselves and they need help.
This isn't a you're #1 and you're #2. It's we are both #1's and we'll play to win the fricking game, same thing Luka and Kyrie are doing.
When Zion is playing like he did against the Lakers in the game he got hurt, it's not hard to recognize that you keep playing through him. That won't happen every game. Some games Trae will be unstoppable and Zion will let him do his thing late in games. Them figuring that out is the challenge, and if they actually want to win, then it'll work itself out naturally.
