I know I know....why would Portland trade CJ? He is talented offensively but defense is not the greatest....so could a backcourt of Lilliard and CJ work on a contender with their defense. ( I got this theory from portland site:
http://www.blazersedge.com/2016/1/25/10817616/cj-mccollum-trade-portland-trail-blazers-jahlil-okafor-philadelphia-sixers-76ers)
They need a defensive backcourt member and imo they need a post player...starting Vonleh
So would a trade of Avery and Sully for CJ work? Portland is way under cap so $ is not a problem.
- Avery is much better defender but not quite the scorer CJ is. BUT maybe Sully would add a low post presence that Portland needs???
-Would we need to add a pick to the trade?
Smart/CJ/Crowder/Kelly/Amir lineup doesn't sound bad?
?
*I'm not sure I would love the idea but i'm intrigued
