    Check the boxscore, it was a blazer win. That's a BIG difference.
    Check the standings, Blazers 2nd in the west. That's a BIG difference, too.

    I think one once, I'll just go KS on you...

    CJ is awesome.

    Yeah, CJ had a lot to do with the win and the team record.

    If CJ was on the 76ers he'd probably average 18 a game

    Weren't you pretty high on him going into that draft?

    He was pretty high on Kendall Marshall too.

    I was.

    I want to like him but with a broken jumper and his inability to finish at the rim, he's like Ricky Rubio without the passing. He has yet to display his strengths coming into the draft.

    His strengths in college was handling the ball and creating opportunities for himself. Unfortunately, Stotts doesn't have faith in him as a distributor. If I was McCollum I'd find a personal coach during the offseason and work a ton on playing off the ball.

    Re-tooling his game at this point is his best bet to a meaningful career.

    It's weird how steep his drop-off was. Granted, his sample size of playing effective minutes was small, but he's had multiple stretches where he's been a solid, reliable contributor off of the bench...and then ends up with much longer stretches of playing like tonight or getting DNP-CD's.

    The best bet here would be a trade. Crabbe already plays off the ball well, so why waste time trying to change CJ? Just trade him to a team that could better use him.

    I agree, I'd do a Chandler for McCollum swap.

    I like CJ, but the money also makes more sense: TRob + CJ matches Wilson's price pretty closely.

    Not quite enough to match within 15% It'd actually take all three to get there.

    Wilson makes 6.7
    Dorell makes 3.1, Claver makes 1.3, CJ makes 2.4
    TRob makes 3.7

    Could explain why they're going after oneal then. Not like trob plays much but his roster spot would need to be filled

    You only have to be within 25%. Wright + CJ for Chandler works (it also works for Affallo too).

    I keep thinking that this is the only reason that CJ and T-Rob are getting minutes--to improve their chances of being desired by another team. Of course, playing them only reduces my desire to have them on this team, so...

    Our 4th string guard and 4th string frontline guy aren't going to set anyone's fireworks off...

    Exactly. It's like we're telling other teams, "Look--there's a reason we're playing McCollum ahead of Crabbe and that Robinson has played more games than Leonard; THOSE are the guys you want."

    I don't think they're going to buy it.

    Mccollum hasn't gotten any consistent minutes for another team to really judge who he is or who he isn't. It's almost like trading for a draft pick.
