    And you think we should take that on and play him off the bench?

    If you think Nas can start next to Grant next season, then yes, and have Hayward come off the bench potentially averaging 13-18ppg.

    I’m not convinced Hayward and Grant will be enough to cover for Dame and Ant, but I think Nas and Grant can. If you don’t believe Nas can start for us next year you’d think I’m crazy for suggesting it. But Hart, Hayward, #7, #13, and whoever we get for the MLE is a huge upgrade at the bench.

    That’s the thing, you’d have to get creative with third teams and such. But Bledsoe and Winslow gets you to $23m. Then you can trade for guys using the Covington TPE and then trading that player to CHO with whatever else to match Hayward’s contract. Covington’s TPE is over $6m, and you could probably send out Keon as well.

    CHO might like a guy in the $6m range from another team, we trade the TPE and other assets for that player and send them to CHO.

    I don't see it happening.

    I'd rather have OG than Hayward.

    I just found out Jerami Grant was born in Portland. Maybe that's well known, but it's news to me and it's pretty dope. A fellow Portland native I dig it!

    Hello,

    You know his father Harvey was also a Blazer, right?

    You can't aggregate salaries of players you trade for like that. There is a 60-day waiting period before their salaries can be combined.

    I agree I don’t see it happening. If anything, I see you end up being right. But OG just costs too much imo.

    I can see OG

    Lillard/Simons/Keon
    Simons/Hart
    Grant /Nas/Ingles
    OG/Winslow/Trendon Watford /GBJ
    Nurkic /Eubanks

    That's not terrible

    Are you giving up Nas as well? No way to that!

    I’d be incredibly concerned with this bench.
