    Marang said it's highly likely we trade 23 for a veteran. So I'm just going to throw out some names and maybe one of them hits:

    Fits into GP2 TPE:

    Kenrich Williams
    Kenyon Martin Jr.
    JaeSean Tate
    Cody Martin
    Chris Duarte
    Precious Achiuwa
    Dean Wade

    Requires salary:

    Pat Connaughton
    Nic Batum
    Daniel Gafford
    Brandon Clarke
    Gary Harris

    TBH, I don't know if any of these names make sense and I hate trading 23 for any of them, but if I hit on one of these at least I can look back and say I predicted it.

    Achiuwa would be a great investment IMO.

    Lowe is saying if Kawhi and George demand 4 year max extensions in July, the Clippers are going to negotiate.

    If that goes wrong, maybe one or the other becomes available.

    IDK if we could move for either though.

    Nas for Kyle Anderson might be nice. Or Gallinari (if he's healthy).
    I still like Ant for John Collins too - but Atlanta would want a PF replacement.

    I think the ship has sailed, but Vando would be a nice target.

    Oof. If those are the options, I'm keeping Ant.

    I wonder if this framework works for the Hawks. This gets them just under the luxury tax and I know they want to get under the tax. Ant needs to be routed somewhere else...

    Orlando just drafted two guards. Big guards, but guards no less. I don't see the appetite for Ant when they now have:

    Fultz/Anthony/Suggs/Howard/Black all needing minutes at the 1/2. Maybe Atlanta takes a flier on Cole?

    I feel like FanSpo must be broken if it's saying this deal would be legal for the Blazers. I don't see how they're close enough to match salary.

    upload_2023-6-26_6-10-3.png

    That said...if it is legal, is there any way something like this could be adjusted to make sense for all sides? Like, I don't really see either Chicago or Philly having any interest in Nurk, but there wouldn't be any way to pick up both Derozan and Ayton without him. But I could definitely see Dame being very happy with this roster.

    Portland is sending out a little over 47M in salary...which should allow them to absorb 59M. Looks like they are getting back a million or so above that, although there can be some float differentials in multi-team trades. But all the Blazers would have to do is add Keon or Knox then it's kosher

    if the Vulcans would sign off on that, it would be good. It would also be VERY good to leverage Portland's picks back from the Bulls. Blazers might have to bite the bullet, roll the dice, and take the risk of un-protecting next year's pick...or only top-4 protecting it

    but you're right...the Bulls wouldn't do it

    Phoenix needs bodies. If the Harris talks fall apart, and with Morey on one end they probably will, the Suns might go for Nurkic + Little + Keon/Knox; and Chicago might go for Ant + lifting protection on 2024 first for DeRozan

    I can dig it.

    Dame (26) / Scoot (22)
    Sharpe (32) / Dame (6) /Scoot (10)
    Derozan (30) / Thybulle (18)
    Grant (30) / Watford (18)
    Ayton (30) / C (18)

    Dame: 32
    Scoot: 32
    Sharpe: 32
    DDr: 30
    Grant: 30
    Ayton: 30
    Thybulle: 18
    Watford: 18
    MLE center: 18

    Something like that works.

    I think it only works because fanspo is removing our cap holds on Jerami and Matisse. So this move would kind of shoot us in the foot.

    I like the premise - Portland gets the most draft picks possible - takes on both Ayton+Simmons who if they regain value can be flipped for a pick later. If not Simmons expires next season and Ayton the year after. That will be just in time for the Blazers to use cap space before starting the Sharpe/Scoot/etc rookie contract extensions.

    Phoenix doesn't need Claxton, let them have Nurk instead and Brooklyn gives us an extra pick.

    Nets get Dame and CameronPayne
    Suns get Nurkic Simons Little
    Portland gets Simmons Ayton PattyMills plus 5 draft picks and those two rookies they just drafted. Also gains ~$10 million of cap space as a trade exception.
