With the Drafting of Barnes, and his rookie year usage, someone in that frontcourt is most likely on their way out. Can't seeing them being able to max out 3 frontcourt players and still retain Van Vleet.

Can it be done now if Nurk is involved?

No. Theres also no way Toronto would do that. I think they value OG more than that unfortunately. Its just a trade that made sense in my mind and is a pipedream.

Fischer's idea was Hart plus 7 for OG. Then using max space to sign LaVine to essentially field a lineup of Dame/Ant/LaVine/OG/Nurk. Looks nice but is super expensive and isn't as balanced as i would like.

Raptors aren't going to just move OG. #7 pick would likely be the starting point for them.

Adding OG to this roster would not make a contender.
 
I’d love OG here, but not for the #7 pick.

OG is not a star. He’s an elite role player. That’s valuable, but the lessons from the Covington, Afflalo, and Nance trades are clear: you do not trade first round picks for role players, especially top 10 picks.

My guess is Toronto would prefer the TPE and #7. They don't need Hart, they have Trent and they could use #7 to draft Mathurin.

But it would help. Add OG & John Collins, along with the other pieces on the team, and i'd like our chances.

That is a pipedream. There is a one in a million chance we could pull something like that off in one offseason.

No. We can't trade a 2022 draft pick with an upcoming free agent.

There could be a trade for a 2022 draft pick that is finalized in July, and later could have a sign and trade combined with it. But the draft aspect would need to be agreed to prior.

If its for later year picks, then that would just be part of a sign and trade agreed to in July.
 
Siakam vs OG

I think most (myself included) would prefer Siakam but obviously, OG is easier to get.
I like Siakam because my impression is he can create his own shot better. But OG seems to be a better 3pt shooter.

They are both pretty close in size (1 " difference)

Siakam:
6′ 8″ (7'3" wingspan)
Weight: 230 lbs

OG
6'7" (7'2" wingspan)
Weight 230
 
i love OG and think his game and strengths fit perfectly for our team, but he's really injury prone. if he were an ironman like Mikal Bridges, I would not hesitate to give up our pick for him.... but he's not.

I would rather trade up for Murray than give up our TPE and 7 for OG.

This.

I vetted this out a bit (I think in the 'Blazers trade #7' thread) as to why they would go this route. They have some cap issues now and more coming up with FVV, Siakim, Grant, etc. They would like a center (hence some interest in talks with Utah) but that doesn't help their cap situation like Portland can.

Seems like Duren would be a good fit for Toronto.

If the teams with veterans such as Toronto and Detroit hold firm on their asking price I don't like the Blazers chance of a successful offseason.

Cronin has enormous pressure to add veterans to the roster that can help the team win next season. To get the best deal a GM needs to be willing to walk away and say no in negotiations. I'm very concerned we end up giving away the #7th pick plus more future picks for a mediocre roster that is worse than we had before last deadline.

When we have official measurements from the combines, why not use them? There are 2" difference between their barefoot measurements, not 1". Siakam measured 6'8.25" barefoot while OG measured 6'6.25" barefoot.

I agree. This “In Shoes” measurement is so bogus.
What shoes? Flip flops? High heels?

Can we get an 11’ tall guy in shoes???
