    Trading KJ and keeping Ego is poor management.

    2 2nds or a late first. he's on a bargain basement contract that contenders need.

    Rather trade Christopher after what I’ve been witnessing in preseason

    KJ has shown potential. That being said, for the right package, I'm willing to do it. Second round pick not inspiring though.

    I would hope he's drawing interest from the Rockets.

    Yes he really has no spot on the team both Smith and Tari are better as well as Tate.

    Hard disagree on Tate. Not only is he not better than KJ at the things that matter to a SF, Tate is probably better being the backup 1 (if we have to play him at all) since TyTy and Nix suck.

    Give me an above the rim athletic SF that can shoot over a 6'4 unathletic PF that can't shoot who thinks he is Draymond Green.

    I think Eric Gordon is staying until the deadline; then we’ll see. The team has shown little indication that they are ready to move him. I agree they need to consider packaging KJ with another asset or two to get a more impactful asset then a 2nd rounder. Maybe package Garuba, KJ, Favors, and a 2nd rounder for something worthwhile; 1st rounder or a good player on a good contract.

    I'd rather have him than Tate but if he can supplement more draft bodies in diffrenet years its worth it.

    Do any of these teams have a young PG who is close in talent level compared to KJ? If so I would do the deal.

    Spoiled kid who has himself above the team. Has shown it several times when all the bench was going insane with some nice play and he was sitting there with a shitface.

    I like that, he is serious about winning, doesn't get into BS unnecessary hype.
