Receipts

What the room said about CJ McCollum, verbatim: the highest-scoring comments in each class.

Exhibit 01Negative.ATL flair
CJ McCollum is literally a negative asset as a player for a young, developing team. He’s not a leader, he’s not a passer, and he’s not a winning player and never has been. Spending even $1 of cap money on 35 year old CJ McCollum is organizational malpractice and should be a fireable offense.
Post · [Charania] The Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Vit Krejci to the Portland Trail Blazers for Duop Reath and two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Krejci has averaged 9 points and 2.2 3-pointers made per game on 42.3% shooting, which ranks top 20 in the NBA.▲ 140Feb 1, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 02Negative.WAS flair
Okay. Fuck CJ McCollum
Post · [Charania] The Miami Heat are waiving guard Terry Rozier today, sources tell ESPN. Rozier had been placed on leave by the NBA since October after federal indictments into sports gambling activity. Miami will open up a roster spot.▲ 102Apr 10, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 03Negative.HOU flair
What a savvy veteran to lead the Wizards in a competitive game vs. a good team and then help lose it to maintain the tank. CJ McCollum is great.
