Is CJ McCullom Available

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Ainge wants shooting. Portland just invested close to 150 million in Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe as guards. They already have Lillard.

Maybe they don't consider McCullom part of their future, especially with his RFA approaching next year and the money they have invested in other guards.

40% 3 point shooter. Good shot creator. Decent passer. 6'3'' with a 6'6'' wingspan. Not a great defender, but better advanced defensive stats than Lillard.

He seems like a good fit for our team as a shooter. What would you trade for him?

Bradley straight up? That would hurt me to trade, but it seems like a good fit for both teams.

Memphis and LAC future firsts, plus Hunter/Young? I doubt the Blazers want to do that.

He and Lillard are the backcourt of the future for them. They bought in Evan to play facilitator so those two guys can run off screens and do what they do best - sort of a Curry/Klay/Iguodala lite.

I think Crabbe will eventually be traded. Neil Olshey likely didn't want to lose him for nothing and some team will overpay assets for him at some point.

they love McCullom and he is still playing his rookie deal. They are also trying to build a pretty good team over there so if anything they are buyers...

Overall the market for trades will be thin right now until the trade deadline comes and teams that are gearing now for a run falter... think Chi, Hou, Dal,
