CJ McCollum isn't part of the Washington Wizards' long-term plan. Why would he be at 34 years old? The Wizards can only hope that they'll be able to trade his $30.6 million expiring salary before the Feb. 5 deadline. He's less than a week removed from a 46-point outburst against Atlanta, but he followed that up with an 11-point outing in a loss to Indiana three days later. On Monday? He had 28 points.
McCollum isn't going to drop 40+ points on a nightly basis (the Wizards aren't trying to win anyway), but what Washington needs is for him to be consistent and draw the attention of more suitors before the deadline.
