Why would we want a legitimate point guard

He's not a "legitimate point guard", though.

and is basically the perfect fit around Zion?

How is Trae Young hogging the ball and being a ball stopper the perfect fit for Zion?

He is also legit terrible on D.

Trae Young is an amplified version of CJ

I'm a little on the fence, but I have long said the Pelicans need a microwave, a guy that can just instantly cook a defense from 3 preferably.

I think having a guy like Young would in theory free up Zion to be more Zion, especially if they can also add a rim runner or stretch 5

He averages almost 11 assists per game, if that’s nit “true point guard” I don’t know what is.

Again, 11 assists per game, and his usage rate is not much higher than Ingram’s, so he would just fit into that slot, and also more touches will be gained with CJ going to the bench role.

Good thing scoring more points than your opponent is what wins games. We have been the 6th best defense all season, look where we are at.

Correct, amplified as in CJ as a legitimate PG, CJ is a perfect fit for this team despite the people here that think an off night of shooting makes him a bad player.

Yeah I don't see how anyone could want Trae Young after watching how iso ball with BI screws up the offensive flow.
