Coach Terry Stotts has already been given the axe and the next big piece to move could be Portland Trail Blazers star guard CJ McCollum. CJ has been a Portland favorite for years with his underdog story, his knack for creating buckets out of thin air, and his hilarious fan interactions.
Damian Lillard and CJ have been interlocked for nearly a decade now, having grown and competed at a high level together for eight seasons.
Although it appears the star backcourt pairing has reached its absolute ceiling, general manager Neil Olshey and the Blazers brass will have a minefield to dance around if they mean to move on from McCollum.
