Philly interested in McCollum?

[Fez Hammersticks]

Search "Horford McCollum" on Twitter.

Philly fans are beyond delusional.

Have you guys looked at his contract?

It's FUGLY. He's making 32 million this year for 17 PER.

Over the coming 5 years:
Harris makes $179m
CJ makes $156m

Is the Tobias Harris contract really worse for our team? CJ has the same PER, he has worse defense, he's 4 inches shorter, and he's a year older. We have a replacement for CJ in Ant.

Even looking beyond PER, you look at what their doing statistically this year and it's kind of a wash.

Philly really needs somebody who can create a shot for himself in crunch time.

Portland desperately needs a guy who is 6'8 and can guard somebody.

It actually solves a lot of problems for both teams, and has the benefit of being in opposite conferences.

I'd even consider doing a Whiteside for Horford swap at the same time if it wasn't for Horford's contract. Horford looks terrible this year, but he's not really fitting in with their offense. Portland could use him a lot like Boston did, which is a better fit for us and him.

But jeez, the guy is making $109m over 4 years. That's insane for a backup center/pf. No way they are dumping that trash heap on us.

....unless they threw in Richardson as well? That'd be a massive roster overhaul for both sides.

Harris/Richardson/Horford for CJ/Bazemore/Whiteside.
hmmm.

wow...if they offered that deal, I'd pull the trigger. Love CJ but Harris, Horford and Richardson works for improvement.

I’ve read rumors of a Simmons for DAngelo Russell swap... if that is truly something Philly is considering, I really hope Neil would offer CJ but I doubt his ego will allow it.

Why the hell would Philly do that?

Good enough to get swept by either LA team if they make the Playoffs this year.

So what do you suggest? Curl up into a perpetual rebuild and pray there comes a year in which there are no great teams?

Looking at the thread title I think: Every team is interested in our 3rd- or 4th-best player...if they can get him for their 4th- or 5th-best player. But it takes two to tango, a motivated buyer and seller. Olshey is not a motivated seller.
