Both play ISO ball and stall the offense and neither is a good defender. It’s not by coincidence we went on a run with Zion paired with Jose and Murphy. Jose should be playing 25+ mins a night

I'd be fine keeping CJ another year but I'd also be fine dumping him with a pick to free up some cash

BI absolutely needs to go for whatever we can get for him. Ideally KAT.

Trade BI for a big, start Jose, CJ 6th man.

Even though CJ was terrible this game, he was a huge factor in us winning games when BI was out.

CJ actually adjusted his offensive game significantly to work around Zion. He is one of the worst defenders in the NBA though which is likely going to get even worse.

BI, I dunno, I have always really liked him but he has done the opposite and his midrange game just goes against everything the modern NBA is. Couple that with wanting max money that he most certainly does not deserve. Trade him if you can find someone decent to replace him with.

CJ was no where to be found tonight. Even with his shot not falling he didn’t contribute anywhere else. He let rebounds go uncontested. He talked all that crap this season about be a professional at all times and tonight he nailed it in with a -17 +/-

CJ is the worst "star" player in New Orleans NBA history. Can't stand him.

NO NBA fans are so scarred and insecure and it manifests itself in people marrying themselves to a bottom 10 contract guy like CJ when he got here simply because he had a nice vet presence. One of my college buddies still says that CJ "likely saved the Pelicans" - whatever that means

I’ve just never really liked CJ’s game. A lot of dribbling and takes a lot of hard contested shots

CJ makes 30 million a year, doesn’t play defense, doesn’t create for others and can’t finish around the rim. He’s only good if he’s on fire and when he’s not he’s average.

BI is much better but he’s a bad fit with Zion because he doesn’t shoot enough 3s. His first two years here he shot 6 threes a game, last 3 years he under 4. If he would go back to shooting 6 a game it could work, but it’ll never be a good fit if he’s shooting 2-4 a game.

You move on from Ingram NOT CJ. CJ's work ethic is what the young guys need to see. I'm done with the Ingram experiment.
