Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

Blazers play zero defense and their backcourt is ball dominant. It's a terrible fit, their front office refuses to accept the defeat cause they know they'll get fired if they do. First they fired coach, then might try to blame some other guys before finally realizing it's time to blow it up.

Only problem is - who wants CJ? He's a small SG on a huge contract who doesn't get to the FT line and is a liability defensively. If his shot ain't falling he's detrimental to the team on the court.

They'd trade him in a heartbeat for an equivalent big

I'm with you. CJ and Dame style are essentially the same with just Dame being better at it than CJ. They don't compliment each other and are horrid on defense. For all the logo three's lillard takes you have him getting cooked by other guards cause he small. For all the games you watch CJ and look like he has top tier ball handling, drive talent, he also just disappears. Nurkic got WORKED by Jokic and will continue to be worked by him as long as he stays in that conference. I think you obviously keep Dame but move CJ and Nurk for a defensive and moderately useful on the offense big and a wing that compliments Dames game better. Right now CJ and Dame just play "my turn" on offense.

I imagine the hardest part with CJ is the contract, but plenty of teams would benefit from him as a 2nd-3rd scoring option or secondary ball handler. His liability can be hidden on a really good defensive team also. A few teams I think get better or more legit I can think of are Bucks, Lakers, Heat, Philly, Dallas, Memphis, Knicks

CJ for Porzingis works straight up. In addition, if Siakam wasn't hurt maybe CJ for Siakam. You are 100% right, CJs strengths are Dame's strengths so they don't really compliment each other well and they're both small so their weaknesses amplify one another. It's just not gonna work with those two and it would've been better long term if they figured that out 3 years ago.

Would easily be one of the best changes made to the rulebook in the past 30 years

Some bottom conference team will trade for CJ thinking they got themselves a franchise like player. But seeing that they're interview D'Antoni I gotta feeling they will stay with this non defensive roster

I’d love CJ on the Heat. There’s enough defense around him to cover for him. Not sure what we could trade that would appeal to Portland though

Herro, Iggy and Precious wouldn’t be enough
