Continue to let him increase his value and then trade him. Lets blow it up already if not now we are prolonging the inevitable in a year or two.
Every dayer
Get rid of Zion Williamson.
The way tanking works is that U don’t dress players if players suit up they okay to win🏀
Please we need a top pick don't screw us over by winning now😂
The fact they made a massive comeback was amazing….and without Z and B.I….🏀🇬🇧
Are we saying now that herb is on the bench now and won’t be a starter ? Bi is 100 percent starting and he deserves to start
Cj might have our best trade value at the deadline
Win win win
No Zion again.
Honestly this is just to good to be the worst team I think they should try and win and just see what happens
Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
So are we going to chase the play-in now? I wanted a top5 pick, and i will be happy for top8 pick at worst.
Anything lower than top8 when not a playoff team is purgatory.
Cj great for pels n community. U need a vet like cj
CJ and Z both need to be traded. My concern is TM3 have less shot attempts. And the Jazz is tanking so this not a win. Frfr
It was amazing to be there in The Blender! They started that comeback in the third and it didn’t seem like a ton of ppl had left. By the end, everyone was in it and the crowd was great even …if TINY lol
Love CJ, love these games, but he gave 45 to Jazz, 50 to Wiz, 38 to a bad Philly team… but 15 to Boston, 5 to MIN. CJ is kind of a bully? 😂
Check the schedule after January, don’t worry, things will start looking down again soon! Best thing is to move BI, Green, Theis, maybe JRE & CJ. They can always wait til after the draft to make decisions about CJ, pending who we land. He’s gone by next deadline at the latest. Or not! As long as he isn’t blocking anyone, including w his $$, who cares, sure, stay.
We just gotta keep playing Zion fewer than 30 mins, get TM3 max touches, foster Dejounte as the new vet leader… We’ll be in the lottery. Might be too good to get Cooper or Harper, but we’re not getting out of the lottery after the All Star break when playoff teams all lock in.
