    I agree it can be better at the end of games. CJ has proven he good in those situation. His mid range shot is similar to CP3.....you know it is coming but he still gets it off against bigger players.

    I do think Dame needs to refocus on that part of his game as well. I could be wrong but I seem to remember he was more consistent with his pull up mid range shot his rookie year. He seems to be shooting it less and there bye not as consistent.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I voted yes, because while neither of the probable top-two players in this draft are certain to be as good as McCollum, both have non-trivial chances to be significantly better. It would be a gamble, of course, but winning championships is hard and you have to win a few bets to do it (or get incredibly lucky and have the #1 pick when a sure-fire franchise player is sitting there).

    Is Derozen + Millsap or Derozen + Monroe, worth it?

    You can't look at it as a straight across trade. CJ brings it what we are missing, Derozen helps fill what CJ left. Its call a net gain.

    And no, I'm not advocating trading CJ at all. But if the right circumstances come along, again, it needs to be at least discussed.

    The ideas so far have been..Jahlil Okafor..Nerlens Noel (seriously?)...Brandon Ingram. Pretty laughable if you ask me.

    Looks like the Timbertrolls have hacked a bunch of accounts and started pointless Trade CJ threads.

    No worries, SlyPokerDog is on the case!

    Derozen has said wants a deal starting at $25 million per year and he wants to play for the Lakers. Let them overpay him.

    By the same token, I hope the Sixers take Ingram and the Lakers are unable to find a suitable trade partner and end up drafting Simmons. A Simmons/Derozan offseason will be big on "names", but short on shooting.

    This merge is yet another example of the minority voice having more say than the majority. Right up there with the Muslims that have Christmas shows changed to holiday shows.

    COMPLETE BULLSHIT

    I take it you would have preferred to keep all the trollish "would you trade CJ" threads that were cluttering up the board?
