    Harris and Bradley for McCollum would actually be very tempting. Maybe get Detroits pick somehow? (IDK if they'd consider that but) then flip Davis and our pick/Detroits pick for Jae Crowder.

    Turning CJ into Bradley, Harris, and Crowder would be very nice. Our defense would be legit. We could potentially trade Harkless, and Meyers for James Johnson (maybe including our pick/Detroits pick).

    Or we could simply keep our pick and Detroits pick and try to package them for the next available star.

    1st option:

    Lillard / PG?
    Bradley / Turner
    Crowder / Harris
    Johnson / Harris / Swanigan
    Nurkic / Collins

    That'd be a top 5 defense, and still is a young team. Harris is 25, Bradley is 26, Crowder is 27. If Lillards defensive improvement isn't a fluke, then there's 5 good defenders in that starting lineup, and two good defenders off the bench in Turner and Collins (Harris ain't bad either).

    2nd Option:
    Lillard / PG?
    Bradley / Turner
    Harris / Harkless
    Aminu / Davis
    Nurkic / Collins

    Plus whatever happens with our picks.

    This teams are more balanced and better than ours now. I love CJ, but I'm honestly starting to lean towards trading him if we can get a package like this back.

    No he is a a good 8th man on a playoff team... 6th men should be relied upon to actually score

    DET Gets: CJ McCollum
    NOP Gets: Jusuf Nurkic, Moe Harkless, Noah Vonleh, 2018 DET 1st, 2018, 2020, & 2022 POR 1sts
    POR Gets: Anthony Davis, Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris

    Lillard / Napier
    Bradley / Connaughton
    Harris / Turner
    A.Davis / Aminu
    E.Davis / Collins

    Would pave the way for Collins to become a starter.

    NOP would then trade Cousins to CLE for their BKN 1st and 2022 1st and have the following picks:
    2018: NOP, BKN, DET, POR
    2019: NOP
    2020: NOP, POR
    2021: NOP
    2022: NOP, POR, CLE

    Things we must do before trading CJ or Lillard:

    -Replace Stotts.
    -Replace coaching staff (what is a big man coach? baby don't hurt me...).
    -Keep replacing those placeholder players which surround CJ and Lillard.

    I don't see the point of ruining our only relative advantage over most of the league before we try to do other solid, more reversible moves.

    Why would Cleveland trade a top 5 pick and another 1st rounder for a player months away from being a UFA?

    Why, we'd get one of the best interior defenders in the league, who is a great finisher inside. We start Turner at SG who is a better defender than Dame, maybe even Pat C.

    He's looked like garbage most of the time this year.

    Giannis is perhaps the most untouchable guy in the league.

    This year, CJ seems to be having a hard time getting his shot off. He's getting blocked so much. He looks smaller and less athletic than everyone he goes against....I don't know if he just hasn't found his "groove" or if people are learning to defend him, not buy his fakes or whatever. But his passing hasn't been good and he's been losing the ball a lot. And we all know his defense is terrible. We need to cash him in for something. This duo of 1 on 1 players isn't working.

    Yeah, We'd also pay way too much for him and lose a lot of offense.

    CJ is a better defender at PG than Dame. Dame is the PG, though, and for good reason. Asking CJ to be a good defender against bigger SGs is a tough assignment.

    Jabari Parker is 22 yo and already had two major (ACL) injuries and hes likely to demand max contract, so theres enough reasons not to want him... as far as Middleton, hes good player who should be 3rd option on a good team (I dont know if hes 2nd or 3rd option at MIL), and I certainly dont want him to be 2nd option on our team, hes not that good and Nurk is not there yet... even if Nurk could be 2nd option right now, wed be better with CJ than Middleton, thats not even debatable

    so to be clear, I dont want Parker at all, Middleton yes, if we can bring him here without sending CJ there

    with no Parker injuries, Id do this deal, but MIL wouldnt of course
