And Y'all Wanna Trade This Cat....

Josh Jackson at the three with Rabb at the 4 and Nurkic at the 5. I think that would be solid enough defensively to make Dame and CJ work. It would take a year or two to become a winning team trying to integrate two 20 yr old rookies into the starting lineup though. But most great things require patience.

I am not sold on Rabb having a big impact in the NBA.

I've watched 3 Kansas games this year. In those games I did NOT see a player I'd rather have than CJ. I'll tell you that much.

Guard wise that coming out this year draft there not one of them has good as CJ.

Agreed...but for discussion's sake, did you see anyone you would have traded for CJ when he was first coming into the league? Was there anyone there that had enough potential to grow into a more well-rounded player who would be on a rookie contract for the next 4 years while CJ is making $105M over the next 4 years?

CJ was one of the NCAA's leading scorers coming out of Lehigh. He'd just beat Duke and put them out of the tournament. We've yet to see JJ in tournament play. He's obviously bigger and has more physical tools than CJ. However I don't see a Killer Instinct, nor do I see this vaunted defense that everyone talks about. I could be wrong but he doesn't look CJ trade Worthy.
