If Al Harrington got the full midlevel, CJ would get that or more. CJ is younger and has more potential than Harrington
That being said, keep him for a bench role, nothing more. If he did the little things more, took better shots and played D, we wouldn't be looking for a 2 guard.

Harrington's a 6'9" SF who can cause major mismatches and is unique in that way. CJ is just another wing who chucks too much and is a bitch when push comes to shove. By no means is that a compliment to Al but you're gravely mistaken if you think GM's are going to pay the full mid-level or more for C.J. in this NBA economy, especially considering the fact that his shooting numbers have worsened year to year and OKC only offered him about 70% of that when he showed more promise.

I remember games where Larry Bird of the Celtics couldn't throw it in the ocean! He didn't pout about it; instead he'd hit the boards and come away with like 20 rebounds! He was never much athletically on defense, but he compensated by LEARNING his opponents moves and "sweet spots" on the court and overplaying them or beating them to those spots. If Larry Bird could do all that, I see no real reason CJ, who is way more athletic, can't work at the WHOLE game of basketball. CJ's gotta learn to recognize and react to GAME situations and not think about scoring at all.

The thing about potential, there's no guarantee a person will reach it. CJ strikes me as the kind of person who will never live up to what he could be. He just doesn't have the mentality. A little time playing college ball would have served him well, I think. As it stands he isn't a nice role player, or guy coming off the bench. He's a steaming pile of **** and should be shown the door at the end of the season.
Can we finally call this clown a bust?

I will admit that Clank The Clown is funny. That last game the clown was really doing his thing. Looking and pointing and pulling faces and trying to blame someone else. But if the Jazz keep the clown I won't waste time or money with this team. I won't buy a single ticket.

Here I thought he didn't care how much he shot. Now we find he is a chucker who has no confidence in his shot. It's worse then we thought
If your going to be a chucker at least think your going to make the shot.

KEK, I don't think Miles should get anything close to the contract of Al but basically they are very similar players so maybe Miles could get a contract like that. Miles is a much better FT shooter and shows some potential at times. Neither play much defense and both sit on the perimeter and chuck 3's, Harrington is a better shooter though 37% to 32%. Miles is probably a better creator while Harrington grabs a few more boards. They just seem very similar and if Al can get full mid level, why can't CJ?
