I would say Portland would also be looking to save some money and CJ is arguably a better player than KP and Nurkic is better than JRich. So I would say KP+Brunson for CJ and Nurkic.

Need a little more salary like Melli.  At least that is what the trade machine says.  Portland is -14 wins though with that trade...

How good is CJ McCollum?

Good enough to easily be the best teammate Luka has ever had in the NBA.

I disagree. He is an undersized 2 guard that has heavily benefitted from playing with Dame. He is too small and a liability on defense.

KP is better. Not healthier but better.

Yeah, hard to say with confidence because there are so many what ifs with KP. But I lean towards believing he’s better than the other big-contract, for-sale guys:

1. Love
2. Wall
3. Kemba
4. Westbrook
5. CJ

In that order, I think.

What order? Is this worst to best (I hope)?

That’s not obvious? Yes. I think I’d put KP next.

He is 6'3.25" with a 6'6.25" wingspan. 

His on/off the last three seasons:

20-21: +4.8 O, +2.8 D
19-20: +7.3 O, -2.2 D
18-19: +7.3 O, -0.7 D

Luka is an oversized PG, so having an undersized SG works with Luka. 

McCollum is a decent defender by the numbers (not horrible) and a consistently big impact on the offensive side of things. 

I would take McCollum over KP because I know the fit with KP and Luka is garbage.

Well...you confused me by putting your pick for worst #1 and your pick for best at the bottom...maybe I'm dumb, but I feel like most people would've done the opposite? Sorry to ask a dumb question!

Can’t agree with this. Luka needs a backcourt mate who can defend waterbug PGs. I thought the days of DFS having to cover the point, rather than the best wing, were behind us. This is why Richardson seemed like such a great acquisition 11 months ago. (Oops on that one.)

No, no! Not dumb! Sorry my reply sounded derisive. Just thought, yikes, you don’t really think I’d be advocating for Love, do you? (Of course, you don’t know me. And I’ve probably posted stupider things. So sure, makes sense.)

He's 7'3 but he lost his unicorn status. He has to re-apply under Kidd.
