Utah should take a big swing and get CJ McCollum. Trade Ingles + Clarkson (+ maybe a pick) for CJ. CJ fills the roles of both guys. He can be the second unit PG when needed, the second unit flamethrower when needed, and the spot starter. He is the better version of both Ingles and Clarkson combined into one player.
Yes, he has big contract, but it’s about competing for a championship. McCollum + Mitchell + Conley would give Coach Q a lot of interchangeable weapons and an unbeatable trio to rotate. Each guy would get 30+ minutes a game. It would be reminiscent of the Bad Boy Pistons or the Durant, Westbrook, Harden Thunder that always had 2 on the floor at a time.
Portland does it because they need to rebuild and reevaluate around Damian, and they have been looking to move CJs contract. Articles have said CJ contract would require Portland to give up a pick but in this case they get two vets (one on an expiring deal that gives them flexibility) and they can move Norman Powell into CJs starting spot.
