Chauncey Billups would not reveal if CJ McCollum and his wife Elise have had a boy or a girl. He said he would let them reveal that information. – 12:40 AM

I never have a feel for KP’s trade value. I generally assume it is not high, but seems plausible at least one team might assign him more value.
That said, I sort of feel like a deal centered on KP and McCollum isn’t too unreasonable and seems to make a little sense for both tms – 12:29 AM

So, Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Norman Powell, and Anfernee Simons are ALL OUT tomorrow night against the Nuggets.
I don’t care who plays for Denver outside of Jokić. The Nuggets need to win tomorrow. Division game at home, a get right opportunity of sorts. – 7:58 PM

I don’t think Damian Lillard being out changes anything for him being traded. But I do think it opens the Blazers up to do moves they might not have otherwise. Nurkic and Covington for sure, since they are on expiring deals., Maybe Powell. Maybe McCollum.
Reset w/ a high pick. – 5:45 PM

Some executives around the league view McCollum as a negative trade asset, one the Blazers would need to send with compensation to get him off the team’s books. -via Bleacher Report / January 8, 2022
