Mavericks Have Interest In Trading For C.J. McCollum

[Lebron23]

The Portland Trail Blazers already started their roster retooling by trading away Norman Powell and Robert Covington. There's some thought that long-time Blazer C.J. McCollum could be next.

The New Orleans Pelicans are a known suiter for McCollum, but the Dallas Mavericks could also be in the mix as well. Dallas reportedly likes the idea of pairing McCollum with Luka Doncic in an offensively-charged backcourt.

Matching salary in a deal for McCollum's $30.8 could be problematic for the Mavs. Dallas doesn't appear to have the combination of short-term salary, plus young prospects to put together a deal for McCollum. The Mavs have also been reluctant to part with either Jalen Brunson or Dorian Finney-Smith in trades before next week's deadline.

I wonder if they can keep KP out of the trade and net McCollum. The only problem is the pieces outside of the Mavericks main core don't move the needle too much for other teams who already have similar type players in the 6-9 rotation spots.

Good move imo, CJ is a guy that can get buckets on his own, which the Mavs desperately need. A better THJ which also means THJ should be included in the trade.

Blazers have no interest :oldlol:
