I think you would see CJ and Dame are more even if CJ went to another team as their number 1 option. CJ can get his own shot in more ways than Dame can and CJ is a better shooter. And I think a better defender.
Fully agree. As good as Dame' intangibles and offense is (when shot selection is not horrid) - his defense is woeful, and is a massive net negative that is hard to cover up for.
CJ needs the ball in his hands to score and break down a defense - which he can do to any defense in the NBA.
Both players are too similar in skills, and too valuable with the redundancy in similarities to keep both around.
We would get more back in a trade for Lillard. (and improve our defense)
CJ and Anthony Davis >>>>>> Dame and Okafor
