Zombie What is the Best Offer We Could Get for C.J. McCollum?

[BonesJones]

So, I've been wondering what C.J.'s perceived trade value is. Just how much do you think we could get back in a trade for him? Are deals like these too much in return for CJ or is this what his value is?

I think we're going to need to trade him at some point, and hope that we're able to get a borderline top 5 pick. If we got the 6th and 12th picks from one of these deals we could possible trade them up to 3 and land Doncic, Bagley, or Porter... That'd be the start of something.

So here's some deals. Which ones do you think accurately reflect CJ's trade value? Which one's would you pursue? Which ones would have a chance at happening?

PHI Gets: C.J. McCollum
POR Gets: J.J. Redick, 2018 LAL 1st (Top 5 Protected) or 2019 SAC 1st (Top 3 Protected)

CLE Gets: C.J. McCollum,
POR Gets: Jae Crowder, Iman Shumpert, Cedi Osman, BKN 1st

NYK Gets: C.J. McCollum
POR Gets: Tim Hardaway Jr., 2018 & 2020 NYK 1sts

CHA Gets: C.J. McCollum, Ed Davis, Al-Farouq Aminu
POR Gets: Jeremy Lamb, Malik Monk, Cody Zeller, Marvin Williams, 2018 CHA 1st

MIA Gets: C.J. McCollum, Ed Davis,
POR Gets: Justice Winslow, Kelly Olynyk, Wayne Ellington, Bam Adebeyo, Filler, 2018 MIA 1st (Conveyed If between 2-7), (Protection Backup 2019)

3rd Team Gets: C.J. McCollum
LAC Gets: 2020 POR 1st, Young pieces from 3rd team and POR
POR Gets: Blake Griffin

BKN Gets: Jonas Valancuinas
TOR Gets: C.J. McCollum
POR Gets: OG Anunoby, Norman Powell, Trevor Booker 2018 TOR 1st (via BKN), 2020 TOR 1st

ORL Gets: C.J. McCollum, Meyers Leonard
POR Gets: Evan Fournier, Bismack Biyombo, 2018 Right to Swap w/ ORL (Unprotected) - (If no swap, POR gets ORL 2019 1st)

UTAH Gets: C.J. McCollum
POR Gets: Alec Burks, Joe Johnson, Rodney Hood, 2018 UTA 1st

Nurkic is 23 and can be part of a rebuild.
Lillard's leadership would be extremely valuable, and you can't trade away him. He's still 27, and hopefully a McCollum trade would get good enough young players that could have a KAT/Porzingis type of quick impact and we could be competitive by the time he's 30. If not, maybe explore trading him down the road, but not now.

Keep Dame, trade nurk and CJ.

Dame has more intrinsic value that can't be brought back via trade.

 

[Strenuus]

I wonder what a trade with both Nurk AND CJ would bring back? Could we get a team to offer up enough for both?

 

[e_blazer]

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

 

[HailBlazers]

Can understand trading CJ but Nurk makes zero sense

 

[Nikolokolus]

Somebody mentioned CJ for Aaron Gordon a few days back (BGD?) and most people made fun of him and mocked him.

I'd do this trade in a fucking heartbeat, if the Magic would go for it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Define "could"

Eh... I've watched several Magic games and I haven't been all that impressed with him.

Suppose New Orleans thinks they might lose Boogie as a FA. Would you do Boogie (currently easily a top 10 player in the league) for those two? It's a risk, because he could leave for nothing, but he's by far the best player in that trade. (And he re-signed in SACRAMENTO ferchristsakes.)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Think backwards: what teams could really use CJ?

Cleveland? (do they have any other team's pick? Because they've got no player I want)
Philly? (they have a nice assortment)
NY? (tempted by Ntilikina, but would need more)
I would've said Milwaukee, but not since the Bledsoe trade.
Orlando don't need him - Fournier's putting up better numbers.
Memphis?
I can see him fitting in with San Antonio, to be honest, and I wouldn't mind that. If they'd give us back Kyle Anderson, I would probably be pretty content.

Why would they, though?

Bud, I respect your opinion, but I do think you are focusing on the wrong guy. Nothing wrong with CJ or the big guy....I would shop Dame

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I'm on the side of you don't trade CJ...

However, for the sake of conversation...

I like Dario Saric (+?) from Philly.

 

[Nikolokolus]

More than likely they wouldn't.

Saric is a throw in with the "meat", where's/what's the meat?

 

[GrandJury]

I think short of the obvious top guys (Lebron, Curry, Harden, etc) you can pretty much get anybody you want for Cj

 

[GrandJury]

And Cj has years left on his deal

He said he wanted Kyle Anderson for CJ.

Where we fucked up at since ya wanna trade Cj so bad is we should have traded him for Cousins

Sac would have done that easy. They got basically nothing for him

I worked out a trade scenario where we can trade nurk for boogie without losing CJ. Forgot what thread its in though.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Okay.. why did I quote him twice? Didnt know thats even possible??^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, did you work it out with dell demps

Who the hell is that? NBA trade machine says its a success so I win MOFO!

Nope. Lillard can defend and still be helpful offensively when his shot isn't falling. He's also the leader and face of the franchise. It'd be ridiculous to trade Dame over McCollum.

No, don't trust him to stay, and it wouldn't make us contenders, so it'd accomplish nothing.
