I'd be surprised if Noel and Lakers pick got you McCollum let alone wanting Portland to give up a pick as well. McCollum would be a perfect fit with 76ers as a young perimeter scoring threat that is natural playing off the ball. Portland has no reason to part with him (he just signed a new contract) so if 76ers wanted him they'd have to overpay a little bit especially if a majority of their value would be through draft picks that Portland at the stage they are at wouldn't really want (3rd team can always be brought in) .

You have the right players going to the right teams here, but PHI needs to add more value than this. You know why McCollum fits PHI, and his new longterm deal fits as well. POR desperately needs rim protection, and they won't have cap space, so Noel's Bird rights actually have value. The problem is that Noel is not on his good next deal, and really all POR gets for those rights is the ability to match the highest, overpaid offer from one of the 20 teams with cap space. Add in Noel's injury and character risk (don't rent to that guy! ), and you need to offer POR more than that.

Good idea, and I think you are 80% of the way to a really nice trade. Good job, PHILLY.

I think this trade makes sense. I personally don't like McCollum so I'd pass but value wise it makes sense.

You don't like him because he is good. Stick with 4 big men. Getting you real far. Okafor. Balls. Noel. Balls. Sixers. Balls. Who wants a proven talent with McCollum when you have so many big men and not so many wins!
