If you think an older player at the end of a contract has a chance to equate to a good stretch 5 you are nuts

BI has more value for that trade for sure

CJ is 32, not 37 or 42. The end of the contract makes it more enticing not less. Kinda left out this "older player" was a top 5 shooter in the league last year both on % and volume. Nobody said he had more value than BI. I seem to be far from nuts.

Sounds like posturing. You don't go into a do or die season with "can"... There is a financial and long term reality with CJ numbers next season.


So, I imagine that we sit on it till the deadline

I mean... 32 is really old for a small guards that can't initiate offense.

It's always better to be a year early than a year late. It could be the difference between getting assets or paying assets to unload him. With him having an insane career year as a shooter. The value of shooters in the NBA being a bit high atm. Strike when the iron is hot at the deadline.

No hurry ATM.

Brook Lopez for cj and old guy for an old guy cj gets to be with a competitive team and be back with dame

Cj isn't that old lol

14 pts a game 5 reb 2 ast in 30 mins I don’t think he’s earned much he’s a nice role player gets fans excited shooting from 40 ft but I think he needs to show more for some big payout

there is a wing on the knicks with the sameish numbers who just goit the bag. tm3 is a better offensive guy than he is. idk man, i love tm3

He's improved every year and his size and skillset are hard to come by. I think his season looks a lot nicer if he didn't get hurt prior to the season. I think he spent a lot of time trying to get right after that meniscus injury.

Fair enough.

They actually did it.

This was an interesting listen.

They claim that EJ Lidell was part of the trade as well, so 3 players sent to the Hawks. This is backed up when you look at his player profile on ESPN.com where he is now labelled as a Hawk.

The point is acquiring a good 5 that will fit in with our offense and is a good rim protector. If you think a team would give us one for CJ you are nuts.
I like CJ but good 3 point shooters who are a detriment on defense are far more common than the type of center we need

Let's make this week a true win with official word of Naji walking as well. Come on guys.

I guess the Naji fans are upset.

Sorry (not sorry), but Marshall is an undisciplined ball hog who doesn't move this team forward. And as others have said, he takes time away from those who could use the time and contribute.

So yes, Naji Marshall can get gone.

What year are we in? I'm not like a Naji stan or anything but he played great in his role this year, played with much more maturity and discipline, and there weren't ball hog vibes from him. He's very replaceable but I'm just confused by the take. Feels very 2021-2022.

You sound like you are hating for personal reasons. I didn't get any of what you are saying from Naji at all. In fact, he may have just played the best season of his career shooting 38% from 3 in the regular season and 40% in the post season.
