There are still 4 days to go before the trading deadline! It's the days when the players are having trouble sleeping, and some players are looking forward to being traded and leaving the current team quickly. Some players don't want to be traded and want to stay in the current team. What a difficult four days.
Chilling? A 9-year veteran who wants to learn from Nowitzki alone, but is ruthlessly abandoned
The Trail Blazers have opened, Powell and Covington are gone, and the next one is likely to be McCollum, who has competed against mcCollum. McCollum's departure from the Trail Blazers may only be a matter of time.
Remember what McCollum said last December? I don't want to leave the Blazers, I want to end up in the Blazers, but unfortunately the flowers are intentional, and the flow is merciless. The NBA is a business ground, and there is nothing humane to speak of. It's understandable that the Blazers put McCollum on the shelves, but what is incomprehensible is that
How come only two teams, the Lone Rangers and pelicans, are interested in CJ? Why don't other teams want this three-point god? Although McCollum is not an All-Star, looking at the following three statistics, McCollum is much better than many All-Stars.
First, stability
7 consecutive seasons of scoring 20+, each season shooting rate of about 45%, three-point shooting rate of about 40%, 7 consecutive seasons of average three-point shooting is more than 2.3 points per game.
Such a stable and excellent veteran, how come no one is chasing it? The Lakers didn't chase Wei Shao last year, chasing McCollum is not fragrant?
Second, attack the kaleidoscope
McCollum made 170 shots from the basket this season, shooting 49.4 percent.
206 shots from mid-range, shooting 46 percent.
He made 289 three-point shots and shot 38 percent from the field. Can attack from the basket, can shoot in mid-range, and can shoot three-pointers, McCollum's offense is too comprehensive.
Third, comprehensiveness
McCollum is under the impression of a three-point shooter, in fact, McCollum does not just catch the ball to shoot, last season Lillard's injury absence, McCollum averaged 33.3 points and 8.3 assists per game, shooting 48.3% from the field. The performance was outstanding, and one person led the team forward. Can play no ball as a supporting role, can also have the ball in the hand as the protagonist, looking at the whole league, how many people can do it?
How could such a brilliant McCollum have only the Lone Ranger and pelicans interested? Come to think of it, maybe that's why.
One, age
At the age of 30, there is really no potential and room for growth, which is an indisputable fact, and after the age of 30, whether the state will decline greatly, who knows?
Second, the contract
McCollum's 3-year, 100 million contract, which won't expire until 2024, is a bit big and a bit long.
Three, defensive
In the past four seasons, facing McCollum's defense, the shooting rate of the opposing players was 45.5%, 46.4%, 44.3%, and 46.1%, respectively.
McCollum has only one season and can bring down the shooting percentage of opposing players. For the remaining three seasons, against McCollum's defense, the shooting percentage of opposing players has increased.
Lone Rangers and Pelicans, which team will McCollum end up going to? Personally, I prefer McCollum to go to the Lone Ranger, because the Lone Ranger now has a better record, and there is a future supergiant like Doncic.
McCollum is more likely to go for the championship. And the pelicans' future core is still uncertain, Zion or Ingram, no one knows, in contrast, or the Lone Ranger is better, look forward to McCollum's good luck.
Fans, why are there so few McCollum teams pursued? Which team is McCollum most likely to go to? Leave me a message to discuss.
