How long can we keep Trey as a bench player? His shooting is too valuable.
Already have CJ-Ingram-Zion-JV in the starting lineup so Herb is a good fit since he doesn't need to shoot and you need scoring off the bench. Murphy is definitely surpassing Herb as a player though but as long as he's happy coming off the bench then that's what makes the most sense.

Who gets benched? Herb?

CJ provides literally nothing of value in the games where the hero ball shots he chucks up don't bounce the right way and go in. :unimpressed: Bench him and look for a trade to get his selfish ass off the roster. TM3 BI Herb Zion JV to start with Jose and Dyson first off the bench and Nance for JV when teams go small against us. We'd be 12-3 or better if any of those guys occupied the minutes CJ and Graham spent selling last week. :snoop:

Man is crazy smh. That’s cj job to do exactly what he does. Be the 3rd option

We would be better if our best players played more.

And now you see first-hand what I was talking about: CJ hero ball = guaranteed loss against any half serious team. He's not the third option when he's taking the most shots on the team (and that's exactly what he's been doing every game, even when Zion and co are healthy).

Bench his ass and trade him ASAP: Celtics hunted his worthless ass EVERY play down the stretch on defense. Get used to that if he's closing games for us come playoff time :francis:

Willie has trusted Jonas in 3 games so far :pachaha: They need another big on this roster, idk how long Nance can last. Hayes/Willy wasting spots.
