I would trade him right now for Boogie or Paul George.

 

would you CJ and Meyers or Plumlee for WCS and Ben McLemore?

 

Well duh, but he's not on either guys level so it would take more to acquire them.

 

Hell no.

 

You would trade him for Boogie but not Blake Griffin? Boogie only has one more year left on his contract than Griffin does.

 

The more I think about it, the more I can not see Portland moving McCollum.

Not only is CJ a "Neil-guy" (Olshey drafted him in 2013 and praises him constantly), but CJ and Dame are as close as can be ... even their mothers hang out and are friends.

I know Dame is under contract for five additional years and this is a business, but you don't want to piss off your star player. We're showing really good progress with those two as our leaders and I'm not sure it would send the best message to move him. Now, if you get Curry or Durant or Davis for CJ, that's a different story, but I don't think anyone here believes those players are even remotely on the table. We're probably talking Noel, Cauley-Stein caliber of players, which, in my opinion, is not enough of a needle mover to move McCollum at this point in time.

 

I only see 3 sources of banter about the Blazers potentially trading CJ...

#1 Fans on this forum
#2 Fans of other teams wanting to offer table scraps
#3 Some bald "sports" writer in the Portland market

 

So is Henderson enough for McLemore?

 

that is a good Q, maybe

 

If you're Portland, what's the incentive to offer more for McLemore?

Henderson is better than McLemore. He had potential and was drafted high, but hasn't really done much with it. I imagine someday he might become as good as Hendo. I really haven't been impressed with Ben though. Plus, at this point I am not sure I trust a lottery drafted player from the kings.

 

Unless there's some unknown needle moving deal...I'd think we would trade Kaman at the deadline for picks or rights to some dude in Europe and have an open roster spot to use for 10 day guys or D league call ups

 

Well I'd love to fleece Collision out of them as well. We'd have to give up another asset like Kaman and I'm not sure they want him even a little bit because they're loaded with centers.

 

Because I could see Boogie re-signing here. I think Griffin 100% leaves.

 

I could see Sacramento trading McLemore for Henderson, but I imagine they want to keep Collison. It appears they are trying to win now, which seems pretty shortsighted of them. I think they are after players who can play now and not picks or players that might in the future.

 

If we traded Kaman for assets and he's waived, could we then hire him as a big man coach?

 

How bout Henderson and Aminu for Collison, McLemore, and Willie-Cauley Stein?

Lillard / Collison
McCollum / McLemore
Crabbe / Harkless
Vonleh / Leonard
Plumlee / WCS / Davis

Wed have 5 bigs, so we could then see what we could get for Leonard/Plumlee/Davis, or even include one in the deal along with a future pick to try and get Sacramentos pick this year (Davis+Hendo+Aminu+2019First for WCS+McLemore+Collison+ Bellinelli+2016First)

 

From reading the Kings boards on other sites, some value WCS more than Boogie. I think the asking price would start with CJ if we wanted Trill.
