I like the idea of buying low on CJ, but I'm struggling with how that will work with Brunson. I don't think we can start Luka/CJ/Brunson together. I like the idea of having 2 of them on the court at all times, but that means one of them is not starting, and Brunson makes the most sense for that spot. I'm worried about the impact that have on Brunson free agent decision. At a minimum THJ would need to be going out.
THJ is basically a bigger Norman Powell. With both Powell and CJ out THJ makes a lot of sense next to Lillard.

Theoretically THJ gives you 75% of McCollum so he can be used as a replacement for him next year with a healthy Dame. They open up a ton of cap-space with moving off of Nance and taking on THJ's declining contract too and go all in next season.
Should it not work then THJ's contract is a good trade chip the final two years for a contender.
All I'm saying is it makes a ton of sense for both parties.
