Trade Rumor: Forward Kristaps Porzingis for Guard CJ McCollum.


    One possible landing destination for Kristaps Porzingis could be the Portland Blazers. 

            Mavs: Kristaps Porzingis, 2022 2nd Round Pick.

            Blazers: CJ McCollum


    How will this work for both teams?

         1. KP and CJ more or less both have the same 
                
                Porzingis signed a 5 year extension worth $158,253,000 with the Dallas Mavericks. Next   season would be the third year of his contract with the fifth year being a player option.
               
                CJ, on the other hand, signed a 3 year extension worth $100,000,000. Next season would be   the start of his extension contract.

        2. Both Blazers and Mavericks lose their first-round matchup
        
                Portland has lost four of its five first-round matchups in the past 5 years. At this point their   main duo (Lillard and McCollum) may might as well break-up as it does not seem to work at 
  the moment. It is in their best interest to give their main star (Lillard) a chance for a                                 championship run.

                Additionally, the Dallas Mavericks are not doing as well also. Their upcoming superstar Luka Doncic has shown that he can bring this team to the next level; he just needs the right help.

MVP Nikola Jokic to Sign the Largest NBA Contract

    Jokic would be eligible to sign a supermax contract in the 2022 or 2023 season. It is projected to be worth $241,000,000 over a course of 5 years. After winning the MVP award last Tuesday, it is no question that Denver would look to extend Jokic's contract.           The breakdown of the contract:                                        2022-2023: $42.6M                    2023-2024: $44.9M                    2024-2025: $48.2M                    2025-2026: $51.5M                    2026-2027: $54.8M                         ...

Derrick Rose to the LA Lakers?

     Reports have indicated that the LA Lakers are very interested in signing New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose.       Rose, who is 32 years old, has revived his career this season (14, 4, 2). He played a serious role in this year's contending Knicks being the starting point guard. It may seem if the Lakers were to pursue him, they would have to offer more than the veteran minimum. Though this may vary as playing with arguably the best NBA player all-time would serve a major factor in his decision this off-season. 

Kemba Walkers to be Traded to the LA Lakers

      Kemba Walker may be traded to the LA Lakers in a package that consists of Alex Caruso, Kyle Kuzma, and Dennis Schroder.          It is possible that the Boston Celtics might deal Kemba Walker to the Lakers. Walker, 31, is an excellent talent although since arriving in Boston; he has not lived up to his name. In this year's post-season, he shot 12.7ppg with a 31.7% FG. Being known as an offensive threat, his stat-line does not back it up.      The Lakers, on the other hand, would want someone of the caliber of Kemba. This will relieve the ball pressure off Lebron (Something Schroder could not) and considering that Kemba is an above average 3pt shooter, could fill many roles. Acquiring Kemba would practically not cost as much for someone with his talent. If the trade were to happen, Dennis Schroder would be traded using a sign & trade contract.
