After watching the Dallas Mavericks lose to the league's worst team in the Orlando Magic on Sunday night, it's apparent they need help in the scoring department. Thankfully for Dallas, the Portland Trail Blazers have a player rumored on the trade block. Murmurs of executives viewing C.J. McCollum as a negative asset continue as the trade deadline approaches.
Although the Blazers' recent stretch provided a two-game cushion for the final play-in spot, avoiding the luxury tax and receiving compensation for an aging guard seems like the favorable move for Portland.
