I´d actually be concerned that he´ll never be the same, but I have no interest in sideways moves like McCollum. McCollum is a 30 year old 6´1 guard that plays no defense. He makes us 10% on the floor, but actually decreases our trade asset stock compared to Brunson on a reasonable deal.
I´d rather make sideways roster moves that significantly improve our cap structure and asset stock, over 5-10% roster improvements (on paper) that kill our roster flexibility further. That´s what we have been doing for a decade.
I mean comparing CJ to Brunson from an asset standpoint does not really make sense. You are not trading Brunson for him.
They way to look at it is KP + Brunson for CJ + Robinson + our pick. That is a downgrade in talent in age, but probably a better fit. More importantly that pick gets you access to all of your assets.
