    By what? Not trading CJ at his request?

    Signing his cousin?

    Letting him do what he wants on offense?

    But wouldn't it make sense to have Ayton and OG in their primes in three years when Scoot and Shae are coming into their own? Wouldn't that line up perfectly?

    Deep breath. It would be OG and Dick (instead of an upcoming Draft pick which they don't have), filler (i.e. Boucher, Young, etc) and a future pick around '28 or '30.

    They can open up picks if they loosen protections on the 24 pick they owe San Antonio.

    I'm cool with Ayton because he's locked up, I just think there's too high of a chance that OG walks and I don't think that's a risk worth taking. I'm sure there will be plenty of interest from a third/fourth team in OG.

    If we get Gradey Dick I hope our announcers nickname him Big Energy because I think that would be hilarious and hopefully he can live up to being a sweet shooting effort guy.

    Yes they can, but until they do, they don't have those picks to trade. Just like Miami could have additional picks due to the OKC situation....but they don't until they do.

    A lot of scouts loved Gradey a few months ago. At 19 he weighed in a 205. Another 10 lbs of muscle over time will help at SF. I think it is hard to project how good or bad he can be right now. From what I have read he is at least a willing defender. Not a lockdown defender by any means but a smart team defender seems possible.

    Boucher helps the bench immediately. If they want Gradey and OG then it seems like Little is being included in the posssible
    Phoenix trade.

    Based on matching salaries?

    Some personal and some contact's digging. The filler is speculation (whatever it takes to make it work) and some is supposition due to the lack of picks the Raptors control. But I'm told OG/Dick would be the base starting point if it was TOR. Blazers would like Barnes, but that is a non-starter for TOR.

    Agreed. I was just being lazy.
    Additional picks required.

    I'm in the minority but i like Grady. No chance i'm saying his last name.

    If we could get OG to sign long term and get a tad bit more and Ayton, i'm all in at this point

    Would be nice. Asking for picks on top of two young solid starters, a current 1st round pick, and a nice role players is asking a lot.

    I'd much prefer this trade than some version of the Miami trade with 3 1st round picks.

    Some of you just want to type "Dick" and "Pics" in the same sentence. This would be a very Long as far as the game threads go.
