    If the Raptors are REALLY going to go for winning a title, they would trade out Barnes and keep OG. I get why they might not want to do that long-term, but in the short term, OG is more ready to compete at a championship level than Barnes is and I'm not sure how Barnes and his 29% 3-pt shooting would work off of Dame.

    Poetl/Siakam/OG/Trent/Dame is a LEGIT lineup and I think is more able to compete for a championship than if the Raptors were to swap OG for Barnes. Also, they might not have to give up as much in Draft capital (which they don't have a lot of) because of Barnes less expensive contract and greater youth.

    It fits the Blazers time-line better as well as a Scoot/Sharpe/Barnes future is full of losses for now but pretty bright for the future.

    That said, I don't think the Raptors give up Barnes, but if they want a title, I believe that would be the better move for them.

    Yep. I am preparing myself for the potential reality in which Toronto trades neither Barnes nor OG in a Dame package.

    I'd, of course, be hoping for Ayton and picks in this scenario.

    If they won't give up OG, then shit-0-dear, POR is getting nothing. Boucher is alright but that's it. Just get it done already. I am so fucking sick of this offseason.

    idk seems like a lot of picks for Masai to give up and would involve San Antonio.

    they owe their 2024 pick to the Spurs from the Poeltl trade. It's top 6 protected, so similar to our situation and Chicago, Toronto would have to pay the Spurs some sort of compensation to open up their picks to be traded.

    So two role players and an old fart for a top 75? makes sense to me. I guess I am not following the thread well.

    there is no reasonable scenario where Toronto gets Dame without OG or Barnes leaving. And keeping OG incurs a massive financial burden next summer and gets them close to the second apron.

    No, because I don't think that team is good enough to contend.

    I’ve been enjoying drawing up our depth chart but I think it’s very possible that Portland trades for OG and also reroutes him to a third team for 2 or 2+ firsts.
