Even though we are dealing with Masai, it makes some sense to trade him to the Raptors.

Watching the Highkin interview with Raptors fans, they seemed open to the idea of picks, Barnes, GTjr, Young, Boucher, porter to get Dame to the Raptors with OG, Poetl, Pascal and Shroeder.

The idea would be to reroute either Simons or Gtjr for more picks.
 
I would LOVE for the Blazers to be able to get Barnes from the Raptors... I'm not even a massive fan of his, but he'd be a great addition to our core.

And the Raptors would instantly get so much better, as Dame would add perimeter shooting at a position that they are in trouble after losing Van Fleet... but everything I've every heard or read is that Barnes is the future and isn't going anywhere.

OG being the key piece to a Dame deal with Toronto seems more realistic from Toronto's perspective, but I don't think adding OG makes sense for the Blazers given he's about to get paid and he's older than our young back court.
 
Can someone post the link to the Highken/Raptors podcast? I'm not sure which one he did.

OG might be more realistic from the way they see their players' value, but I have a hard time seeing Dame wanting his buddy -- whom he's been begging us to trade for for years -- to be the piece that leaves...

It's a bit ironic in that sense that if we really did trade him to Toronto, Dame's own maneuvering could result in a better package for us...

Dame would want OG to stay in Toronto though. I agree it is unlikely they move on Barnes, but their fans seem open to the idea.

You can take out Boucher or Porter Jr and insert Thaddeus Young on 1 year 8 million if they preferred to keep either of the other guys.

Shit, I might be happy with this deal and just asking for their 2016 unprotected pick.
 
Barnes would be a get for sure. I would think he is off limits but you never know. OG would be at least mandatory. Trent I am not sure he fits.

Yeah, Barnes + filler + a first or two... I do that immediately, personally. Although of course it would be great if there were something better out there. :)

Toronto makes the most sense player wise.

But we better get those picks.

If the Raptors could get Dame without giving up Siakam or OG and Barnes is still off limits. I question how much they really want another championship. The Raptors have a lot that they could offer.
 
What about this? We could move Siakam for picks/cap relief or try to keep him and run out:

Scoot
Simons/Sharpe
Barnes
Siakam
Nurk

Which actually isn't too bad, given how young it is.

I intentionally had no draft picks coming back to us, so it might not be enough, but I think the Grant contract is terrible and he seems like he might actually be a good fit with OG in Toronto.

I’ve been eyeing Toronto as the best fit for a Dame trade since VanVleet jumped ship. Barnes would be a perfect fit with the timeline of Sharpe and Scoot. Dame added to a mix of Siakam, OG and Poeltl is an instant threat in the East. Dame has been asking for Siakam and/or OG for a long time. This way he gets them both. Biggest reality check: Masai Ujiri’s ego.

Essentially they are saying if we can get Barnes then we take back whatever Toronto wants......and I agree. I wouldn't even care about getting the future pick they included. Barnes is still so young, he fits in very well with Scoot and Shae. I would be extremely happy and shocked to get a potential young star back in a position other than guard.

Yeah, I would bet good money that that ain't happening. Masai sees Barnes as a centerpiece.
 
I would love Barnes but come on, if OG has any chance of resigning, trade for him and two firsts from the Raptors. We can take back Young and Boucher too. OG is a great fit with Scoot and Sharpe too and he is way better than any piece the Heat are offering.
 
Wow Ringer article says we would get an unproteced Raptors 2028 pick and 2029 swap. I assumed this would have no picks. I'd still do the deal for no picks, with the picks its a no brainer. I'd close this deal tomorrow and then we can have 3 months to laugh at Miami.

I'd strongly prefer Barnes over OG. 21 vs 26. Much cheaper contract. What a great trio of consecutive drafted players to have with Scoot and Sharpe.

Also if trading for Dame from Toronto's end OG makes more sense. They'd want the vet more ready to win now.

This will never happen. Those incoming players are too tall for the Blazers
 
Are OG or Siakam eligible for extensions? If I'm Toronto I try to get those booked before completing the Lillard trade. After a Lillard trade Toronto would be in such a win now place they'd have to overpay those guys in free agency.
