A lot of people seem to indicate BI is gone and CJ and Zion will be built around.
This interview (https://youtu.be/zczzfks9wo4?si=BAsNfXBBTtMn7nXN)
Has me thinking that it will be CJ is the one on his way out.

Brandon was also saying how a real point guard would help him out and he wouldn’t mind a move for one. I’d genuinely be surprised if he pick Cj over BI
There’s not a world where we pick CJ over BI. BI is younger, better, been here longer, and just a better asset. We also have Hawk in the chamber to take over the shooting guard flamethrower spot when needed.
Edit: Coming off the bench I mean ^^
I’d like to see a move where we deal CJ and some picks for a star PG and see what we can get for the center position.
I’m concerned that if BI stays, Trey is gone tho. And I really love Trey. I just don’t see how much longer we can justify him being on the bench. And with a BI, Herb, Zion lineup, Trey would only fit on the bench.
I think it would be hilarious if the franchise picks CJ over BI. If you’re going to get rid BI might as well get rid of CJ too
I get that analytics guys adore CJ and can’t stand BI. I even get that BI needed to show up more than CJ even when coming back from injury.
But on a completely personal level, I haven’t liked one postseason game CJ has played for us. I physically just can’t stand watching dude when it matters the most. If the question is “who’s more likely to come up in big moments in their career”, even if it’s by just a little bit at this point I’d take BI.
The world where BI succeeds elsewhere and CJ is the exact same guy in the postseason here would drive me up a wall, personally
Bi has to be traded in my opinion, he isn’t worth the max for us maybe some other team and if we give him that much I can’t see him ever being a good number 2 to Zion, he practically tanked his own value with just how bad he performed so I hope they can just beg Detroit to give us Ivey or Duren with any type of pick for him, we need change badly and he needs to be apart of that but I don’t see it happening
He said either BI or CJ is definitely out but didn’t give any hints as to who it might be (don’t blame him at this juncture). Analytics say CJ + Zion is a much better pairing than BI + Zion but who knows…
Lot of big talk from Griff… sounds like he really understands the urgency needed for roster improvement considering how stacked the West is… I sincerely *hope* this involves improving the center position. T-Bob said on his podcast today that JV was dead last in the league in FG% made for centers from 1-5 ft AND was giving up the highest FG% to opponents at the rim amongst all NBA centers… so he’s literally league-worst at both ends of the floor.
No one builds around CJ he is a complimentary piece.
Stop saying BI or Cj as if they are comparable. BI is supposed to be better CJ is supposed to be an option behind the stars.
I was obviously livid about BI’s performance in the series and games leading up to it. But we tend to forget this guy was the first ‘star’ or potential ‘star’ to double down and commit to this organisation when he signed that extension. It’s nothing personal whatsoever, it’s just about getting the right fit with Zion.
With that being said, my preferences ranked:
1. Just Cj gone
2. Both Cj and BI gone
3. Just BI gone
Z doesn’t even come into this equation, if this org trades him then they might as-well kiss any hope of being a successful organisation in the near future goodbye.
