Time for Zion to go? + Cade Cunningham MIP? | Slam N Jam

I think CJ will probably be a little less just because he's got another year left on his contract at $30 million. Any team trading for him is like, okay, how open are we to having CJ on our books at $30 million next year? A team I've kind of looked at with CJ that makes some sense in my head is like a Houston team.

Where they can kind of add that money to their books and still feel like, you know, they can keep most of their young guys. And then, you know, basically the same thing they're doing with Fred VanVleet this year is like, okay, we can remove that contract and be able to spend more money on our core guys and kind of do the same thing with CJ next year.

But I think it'll be that type of move where a team's looking at that one veteran piece to push them over. But I think having an extra year on CJ contract makes it a little tougher. I think him playing as well as he has obviously kind of makes it a little bit more appealing for some of these teams to be like, hey, this dude just dropped 50 a couple days ago.

He can obviously contribute at a high level. But again, it's just about the finances and making these contracts work so you're not kind of tying your hands in the way you build out the rest of your roster.

I tell you, just in general, I would say activity. He plays extremely hard on a nightly basis, and he's a great athlete. So just having him flying around the way he does, he's already an excellent offensive rebounder. I think he's one of the better offensive rebounders in the league day one as soon as he stepped in.

I think he's very versatile defensively, where I think when they had Jonas Valanciunas, they were a very drop-heavy team, and that can limit you in certain matchups. And I think this he could play drop. He can step up. He can switch. I think that's one of the things they really liked about him going into the draft, being able to play those different defensive coverages.

And I think, you know, hearing from people around the team, what they've all talked about is just his IQ for the game, which was a little bit surprising how quickly he picks up things and how they're able to throw a lot on his plate. And he kind of they don't have to go over things, you know, with him repeatedly, which is super impressive.
