    Instead of trying to figure out who off the Blazers will get traded, here are my ideas for who I believe the Blazers could get in RETURN as part of a deal/deals with teams that have assets to trade and fit Niel Olshey's bargain hunting mentality:

    Caris Lavert ~Brooklyn
    Garrett Temple ~Sacremento
    Wayne Ellington ~Miami
    E'Twaun Moore ~New Orleans
    TJ Warren ~Phoenix

    Dream #1

    Crabbe, Aminu, 2 or 3 #1's, FOR Jimmy Butler

    Would love to have our lineup be:

    Lillard
    McCollum
    Butler
    Vonleh
    Nurkic

    Dream #2

    Trade Meyers Leonard straight up for pretty much any draft pick that we can get.


    Please post your ideas of who the Blazers could/should get.

    But if we got Jimmy Butler we'd likely be competing with the Cavs and Warriors. We can't have that.

    I think the Blazers should go all-in on trying to get Butler, he is an excellent player and what makes him extra good is he has a great!! contract.

    If Jimmy Butler is the answer, then the question isn't nearly as good as everybody says it is...

    Butler is a needle mover...that makes a top tier core. Great starting lineup

    I agree a deal for Butler would be a needle mover and help our Cap situation as well.

    I suggested Warren a few weeks ago -- definitely an upgrade IMO.

    Meyers

    In Return--

    The World.


    That's more believable than most fan proposed trades.

    I hope none of our trade partners read this board.(Why wouldn't they. Everyone here is an expert.)

    Our players would have no trade value whatsoever.

    The truth is probably somewhere between the worst players on the planet and future hall of famers like we see in almost every trade posts. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the league thinks.

    Awesome take very clever. A three time all star two way player is definitely not the answer. Crazy it was even brought up.

    If the Blazers can get Butler or George I'm a happy man

    Kelly Oubre Jr SF Washington
    Dwight Powell PF Dallas
    Deyonta Davis PF Memphis
    Cheick Diallo PF New Orleans
    Josh Huestis SF OKC
    Willy Cauley Stein C Sacramento

    Great contracts we won't get or that will be hard to get

    Miles Turner C Indiana
    Giannis Antekounmpo SF Milwaukee
    Kristops Porzingis C New York
    Dario Saric SF Philly
    Georgui Dieng C Minnesota
    Julius Randle PF Lakers

    Value contracts I wouldn't necessarily want

    Victor Oladipo SF OKC

    Tyler Ulis PG Phoenix
    Wesley Johnson SF Clippers
    Daniel Ochefu PF Wizards

    Oh, come on. It was a funny line.

    As for Butler, he'd be a phenomenal addition on defense but I have my doubts about how well he would blend with Lillard and CJ, both on offense and off the court. I'd love to see those doubts laid to rest, though.

    EDIT: And I don't think we're close enough for adding Butler by himself to bring us up to the top tier in the NBA, but he sure as hell would bring us a lot closer...

    Agree to disagree then. I think a core of dame cj butler and nurkic matches up with anyone.

    If Butler is a needle mover then PG is a tattoo gun.
