As much as I would love CJ, and to a slightly lesser degree Fox, I dont think there is much we can do to make it happen unless we really overpay.

For one of those guys, I think they would almost turn anything down unless it had Herb or Hart in addition to the bench guys and multiple picks. Maybe not quite as much for Fox, because his value has to be down some from last year.

Im a fan of being a buyer, but I dont think you give the farm away to get a fringe all star just to make a push for the 10th seed.

I think some of you are forgetting that many people on the national level, not just hopeful Pels fans, viewed CJ as a negative asset this offseason because of his contract. He has had his worst season in quite a while, has had quite a few injuries and is still out with some lung issue. So I think some of you are over valuing CJ.

Also, Dame is currently hurt too and they may have to shut him down for a while to let him heal his nagging abdomen injury. Considering their current record, a while might be the rest of the season while they tank.

So if the season is viewed as lost that changes Portland's perspective a little. I do agree that they are more likely to do nothing than sell low, but a package built around Sexton for McCollum seems like a decent value right now.
