The negative media coverage around McCollum is IMO pretty similar to KP. Lots of unfair blame (based in reality, but way out of scale on one guy compared to other team flaws) for the high-paid running mate to the team superstar. And other GMs are likely seeding the media with manipulative negative vibes to drive the price down.
Assuming JRich opts in and Nurkic doesn't let up on his unhappiness in Portland, I wonder if something simple like KP/JRich for McCollum/Nurkic works for both teams. We're talking similar contract amounts/lengths, direct positional swaps, and arguably better fits for all players involved.
