Only trade I can find that would to keep Dame in Portland.

Portland sends:
Shaedon Sharp
Jusuf Nurkic
Anfernee Simons
Pick #3

Toronto sends:
Pascal Siakam
O. G. Anunoby
Pick #13

Salary works, delta is $9M and Portland can take it.

It’s a lot of moving pieces but I think 3 for 13 and 1 year of Siakam is a pretty fair deal maybe favoring Toronto. OG for Shaedon is favoring Portland but I do think that Sharp is probably the very best young asset you can get for OG. And I don’t money filler Portland is sending back is valueless.

New line ups:
Dame, OG, re-sign Jeremi Grant, Pascal, need a new 5.
That’s an incredibly strong line up of switchable plus defenders surrounding Dame.

Anfernee, Shaedon Sharp, Brandon Miller, Scottie Barnes, Precious (or a new 5)
That’s a real sexy young line up with a ton spacing around Scottie Barnes as the main ball handler who struggles with shooting.

I look at this and think the #13 needs to be removed.

Yah if your trading both OG and Siakim your also not trading that 13th pick. Instead they should keep OG trade siakim for the 3rd pick and Simon's. And a future pick.

Blazers get better and raptors move OG back to sf with Simon's as the lead guard and Barnes playing in the post. OG and Simon's become the main offensive players and Barnes continues his development as a post threat and play maker.

Raptors use there pick to bring in depth and young blood. Sign and trade both freddy and Trent Jr. For a young post defender.
