I would imagine that the most likely CJ trade scenario would include a player that makes within $10 mil of his annual salary. This is a finite list.

Most are unlikely, some are undesirable. Which player makes sense for BOTH teams.

Players that make more than CJ (Maybe include DJJ):

I hear that guy cash consids is pretty good
 
Pelicans need to make the playoffs badly and CJ would at least get them there. Otherwise Zion just becomes some flashy dude that never even made it. But the Pels may go after PG13 or Jalen Brown, both those teams could use some extra draft pics.

They really need a dynamic guard scorer. That's not Ball, and PG13/Brown can't handle primary ball handler duties.

I'm not sure that is a good assumption.

IMO, I think swapping CJ for 2 or 3 smaller contracts is the way to go... especially if Norm can be retained for ~$20M/yr. Additionally, considering Portland's cap situation, they need more production per contract to be able to make the next step.
Ideally CJ would go to NYK (picks + either Obi or Robinson) who get routed to Houston. Portland gets Wood as a result (at his $13M contract) with a large $18M TPE. Portland could use some of the TPE to get a backup PG (Sato from Chicago or Jones from Memphis) with cash considerations.

That would be really good for Portland.

For sure. I also read some rumor on Yahoo (though source was from somewhere else) that Ball wants to go to the Knicks. I think that guy cares more about "the life" then actually learning/improving.

I bet it's his dad who wants him to go to NY.

Yeah, he will be saying Lonzo will lead the Knicks to their first championship in 50 years. I'll tell you now, the only way a ball brother wins a championship is if they ring chase.
 
NYK makes the most sense to me (assuming they want him) to facilitate a 3-way trade for any of the following (some we would want a draft pick as well).

Unrealistic:

Pascal Siakam (we may need to add something)
Myles Turner

Lackluster (but we'd still be a better team IMO):

Kevin Love/Nance Jr. (I think we'd need to add DJJ for salary)
Marcus Smart (+ pick)
Tobias Harris (Philly would have to have an unceremonious exit from playoffs for this)
Matisse Thybulle (if a NYK pick went to Philly in exchange for him)

doesnt solve anything. An equally shitty defender, who passes even less, doesn’t rebound well for his position, and isn’t as good of an outside shooter.

One possibility I haven’t seen is a sign and trade for Kawhi. I don’t think he likes playing (I know he doesn’t even live in LA, he commutes from here in San Diego) for the clippers and has an opt out this summer.

Sure, but it allows you to move Norm to the 2 and you still have RoCo and Nurk. We just need to do away with the tiny guard wonder twins.

Dame
Norm
Ingram
RoCo
Nurk

I think it's more likely Love does a buyout and signs with us. We won't trade for him.

CJ is worth more than Smart or Thybulle

Moving Love would allow the Cavs to sign Sexton this summer (and is the reason they would consider moving Nance Jr. as well).

CJ is worth more than Smart or Thybulle, but we'd be a better team with either of them, a pick, and Powell than with just CJ IMO.

I was thinking about this last night... but he hasn't worked with PG13, with Harden, and Beal.... I don't think he would here either.

RW playing point guard in the 4th quarter is a bad idea. With Dame, he wouldn't have to be.

Thybulle would be ideal.

CJ fits Philly like a glove too.

Don't think you can get it to work with the contracts under the CBA.

I'm assuming Embiid, Simmons, & Harris are off limits.

They'd have to send out ~$22-23M in contracts to get CJ on the team. The only contracts of size they have are Hill ($10M) & Curry ($8M). Thus it would have to be a 6 for 1 deal.
Even these 5 players don't have enough salary to make a trade legal:

Random Note:
Looking over Washington's roster and cap situation, the only thing that makes sense is to keep Danny and Rui, and dump the rest - Beal included.
 
Ingram would be a coup. He's still got untapped potential on the defensive end. Was a monster on that side of the ball in LA before going over to NO.

Randle in a S&T would also be nice. Siakam as well.
