    For Dame? Because that's the only asset we could trade for any of those players.

    Danny Ainge might be a refreshing change

    We don't need to bring in a superstar, we already have one.

    We need more defense, switch out CJ with a 3+D defender, Kanter with a more mobile big, and Melo with a two way limited minute bench player and we are right there. That's three horrible defenders gone, two guys who can be inefficient while dominating the offense, and one who can be played off the floor.

    Dame is a superstar, Nurk Powell RoCo provide great contributions on both ends. We get a full rotation of players contributing, good coaching and we could easily be a legit contender.

    I think a Rubio + Beasley for CJ would make sense for both teams. Saves cap room for the Blazers and gives them a backup PG. The Wolves get some more star power to sell tickets for their new ownership.

    Also Gary Harris + Ross for CJ works with the Magic.

    You absolutely need to bring in at least another all star type talent. Outside of what maybe the Raptors when was the last team that won the finals without at least a superstar and an all-star? What maybe the Maves with Dirk? Another 3 and D type guy doesn't get it done, those guys are no where near consistent and then when it comes down to it, Dame gets doubled even harder than he would now. That team you mentioned might be good but not legit contenders by any means. You need a superstar and at least 1 all star. At least.
