    West gets the top 2 of course. Why does the east even exist

    That would be gross. Im all for trying to trade CJ, but not for a very overrated Wiggins and a young player where there is no real superstar in the draft this year. We need to get Dame a proven player/star not a rookie.

    Play him at SG? I don't think either team would do that deal, I just figured someone would propose it.

    He's bigger and taller the GTJ who we've been playing at SF a lot. Klay could certainly defend most 3's in the league.

    In the Jazz-Denver series, I have a feeling we're the Nuggets and the Lakers are the Jazz.

    If they wanted CJ they could've just kept D'Angelo Russell.

    Nobody wants Cj that’s why Olshey can’t trade him

    I think there is a market out there for CJ. I really do. There aren't many players in the league that can score all of the ways CJ can. CJ has also shown that he can pass well when he views that as part of his role. He is a bad defender but could be put in a much better situation if he wasn't always guarding guys bigger than him and if he was surrounded by better defenders. The thing about Olshey is, I don't know if he's even willing to gauge CJ's trade value. On several occasions Olshey has unbelievably called CJ McCollum untouchable... it's beyond me but those have been Olshey's words. When the season is over I'll get more into the teams that might want CJ, the guys we might be able to get for CJ and if it would all be worth it. For now, CJ is who we are rolling with at the 2 and I'm pulling for him to succeed.
