It’s the statement the Pels gave but there are some other theories.

Trade incoming! maybe, probably not

[markid]

Apparently late for practice too many times. So that's something.

Season from hell

[markid]

Pels won, always a good feeling.

Jose has his groove back. CJ has been dynamite as well other than the Portland game.

Need to trade CJ while he’s playing well. Increases his value and we also want him out of the lineup to get more Hawk development minutes and keep the tank rolling.

Agree. I would think they are actively trying to do this.

[JJackisangry]

Yeah. There is no shot they aren't looking to trade CJ. I think the issue before was we absolutely would not want to take on salary and would want expirings to clear space. Now that certain players may or may not be out of the door, we may be more flexible in the salary we take back if we could acquire any semi decent assets.

I'm fully on board with this.

[P_B_&_G]

Well, that was fun. What a shame, this team had so much potential.

[markid]

Super close game, No issues with that

Won't trade CJ, won't fire Willie until after the season, Griffin trying to save his job in the present and future. Gayle, sell! #Inshallah
