As for McCullom. He is older but less injury prone, so I would think it is reasonably fair trade. Problem would be that straight up trade leaves a big hole at center position. If it is McCullom and Nurkic for lets say KP and Brunson, I think it could be something that makes sense. I think Portland would have a hard time explaining to Lillard how KP (perceived as very bad contract around the league) justifies trading his best friend, although he might be a better fit for Lillard.
I love our debate and I absolutely can´t wait what the Simmons trade package will look like eventually. I just don´t think the Kings and Wolves are as dumb as the have acted before :-)
No way I trade Brunson and KP for Mccollum and Nurkic. That would be another interesting poll though
