C.J. McCollum, Portland Trail Blazers
It may be somewhat a surprise to see C.J. McCollum’s name on this list, however, there is fair reasoning behind it. The Portland Trail Blazers just gave Damian Lillard the supermax extension, and will likely also want to re-sign Jusuf Nurkic.
In the event that McCollum would like to take his chance with another franchise, this season would be the one to watch. He’s a free agent after next season and if the team fails to reach its potential this year, it could leave both the team and McCollum with some big decisions to make.
McCollum has been a great sidekick to Lillard through the beginning of his career, but it wouldn’t be the most surprising of revelations if he wants to be the No. 1 guy somewhere else.
