CJ McCollum started his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland fans were hopeful that he and Damian Lillard could be the two leading pieces in a contender. However, the Trail Blazers ended up trading McCollum to the New Orleans Pelicans for 3 future first-round picks. After drafting Zion Williamson, the Pelicans wanted McCollum to be the missing piece and added depth that allowed them to contend in the extremely competitive Western Conference while the Blazers ended up trading Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks and rebuilding.
