MagicOne 119 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 There is a long article on theringer.com about a hypothetical proposed trade involving CJ McCollum for Gordon. They honestly believe such a trade would benefit both teams. It says that CJ could be the man in Orlando and put up big numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He sucked with Phoenix and now he's having a pretty crappy season in New Orleans. I think there's a pattern forming here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They honestly believe such a trade would benefit both teams. It says that CJ could be the man in Orlando and put up big numbers. It would make both teams worse. McCollum benefits a ton from the presence of Lillard and I think his numbers go down somewhat here when he's the only talented guard. Gordon would make Portland worse because they have a good identity as a dual guard flurry scoring team. Their problems are solvable by making small moves. Not by destroying their identity.

I get that, but with us all waiting for some news on the teams plans and the trade deadline I would want to know any rumors that’s out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From a Magic point of view I wouldn't do this deal.. Plus McCollum isn't very big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, first it's the internet and you should never believe anyone. That's pretty much rule number one. Everyone lies constantly. Second, if someone won't put their name out there then they're not reliable. That's just some schmo who wants Instagram followers. Everyone who earns a living by doing this has said "everyone asks the magic about Ross but they have no interest in moving him and try to shop Simmons instead" and "while we believe that Gordon was signed to his deal to be traded eventually, the magic have no interest in including him in deals right now" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 So would it be fair to say that Simmons is the most likely to go ? Him and or Vooch ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Credible rumors only. It gets annoying. Jareth, other posters on here back in the day, and I used to create fake rumors to trick certain local news people in to reporting them all the time. There's literally a wojbot Twitter account that's entirely made to trick gullible people. If it's not from a reliable reporter or someone who can get a reliable person to vouch for them don't believe it. It's fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
