The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly open to discussing CJ McCollum’s future, per @BrettSiegelNBA
“The Pelicans have expressed a level of openness with teams around the league to discuss McCollum's future, sources said. The veteran guard is making $33.3 million this season
I can't imagine those are very fruitful conversations. I guess he has only one more year after this year though. It is just tough to see a team trading for him making 30 million. You certainly would not get a good asset for him.
I would expect the Pelicans are going to look to move CJ and Ingram. I would also be ok moving Murray as well. Maybe Zion if they get a good offer, but I expect he is giving another year. Next year, they can recoup and see how it all fits. They have good talent. They just lack the star....and health overall.
