Agree about those two. Washington perhaps also.

It all depends on how badly Portland really wants to move on from McCullom and what is the competition for him. If Portland would be looking to move on, I think main motivation would be to save money. THJ contract is not really optimal for such a deal, compared to for example Sato/Hart/Hayes offer New Orleans can put on the table.

Luka/MCollum/Brunson would be a dynamite rotation, offensively, but doesn't really jive with the new defensive identity so much (maybe I'm wrong about that).
These are questions we can't really answer. On one hand, its not like we would be giving up a great defender for a bad one. McCullom is certainly an upgrade over THJ. Would Brunson be ok with the 6th man role again? Would perhaps CJ be ok taking that role?
