what tells you he is "washed up"?
Is it the 21.2ppg, the 4.1 apg (that is his lowest in 8 seasons), the 32.7mpg? The career low 37.3% from 3 on 8.2 apg?
Last time he scored less than 20ppg was 14-15 season.
He'd be the best guy on the team on many nights...but knows enough to not try to be that...Virtually none of the bonehead concerns of Poole, more of a PG than Simons, Sexton, Coby...age is the ONLY thing and, perhaps, the only thing that affects is his next contract terms -if he's happy in ORL. There are questions, but no more than any of the candidates...like Poole, CJ might not require much, if any, draft equity - KCP, imo, is actually a pretty good fit next to Dejounte and he's almost as old as CJ (nobody got upset about KCP's age - until you offer him on the general trade boards - then his age and "declining" shooting come up).
If we can package KCP, Cole and 2 SRPs for CJ, I will pull the trigger
I think that's a great trade for both. Cole runs point while DJM heals up, then expires while KCP/DJM form a lethal defensive backcourt along with Zion, this year's lotto pick and next season's lotto pick.
