My hope would be DeMarre Carroll but I think he will be too pricey for us.

Even Kawhi's a pipedream. I'm secretly hoping for Jimmy Butler.
A guy I really like but also don't see being available is Gordon Hayward. Guy's a baller, but he's not a true #1 like he's forced to be in UTA.

I know its wishful thinking but how nice would it be for Crabbe to take the next step like CJ and Meyers?

Define too pricey. We will have a shit load of money to spend if we lose LA.
Maybe Justin Anderson? RHJ? plus a FA?

He is a free agent. ATL wants to keep him. Don't think they would entertain a sign and trade unless he forced his way specifically to POR which I don't see.
I think he gets money that Batum got with his last contract. So yes, it depends on if we lose some big guns on if we could afford him.

Throw a patented Morey-style RFA-stealing poison pill contract at Khris Middleton.

Remember to look at it from the player's perspective - will free agents (who already don't sign with us) want to sign with a team that's rebuilding? Are there any trades that make sense that take the element of having to be chosen out of the equation?

Yep. But a lot of teams out there are hot to trot for Carroll as well from what I hear.

My first thought was that this was another Batum-bashing thread. But then I realized you meant the hole left after he was traded, so that's okay.

Millsap + Carroll to UTA
Hayward + 12 + 15 to POR
Aldridge to ATL (Mr. Sauces also mentioned ATL as one of the teams LA is targeting)
Then put 23 + 15 + 12 + Vonleh to get Okafor or Neil's boy Kristaps.
Can we work around the CBA mess to pull that off?

What are you, David Kahn? Trying for the all-honky lineup?

IDK man. A Dame/Wes/Hayward/Leonard/Okafor lineup is pretty sick

Dame needs to start working the league. I wonder who his friends are from other teams.
We need him to sell Portland as a young team who could be elite in a few years if "they" signed. And I would start at the SF spot. It is crucial we find an elite SF.

In the short run, we may not fill the hole at all. If the team is going to do a full rebuild, why spend the resources?

Houston wants in on the fun and you know they will strip their team to do so.
They have three SF's :Brewer, Ariza, and Papanikolaou.
Plus they have Motiejunas and Jones..........
Would you trade with the devil? Brewer,(or Ariza) Motiejunas, Jones and # 18? #32?
Fuck it. I would consider it.
Bottom line is if they really want to be a player for LMA, they should talk to Neil about who they draft. It will be key

I'd LOVE to trade LMA to HOU! Harden won't lead a team to a championship, Howard won't, and LMA won't - that's a team with a bunch of mental midgets taking up way too much cap space!

That would be fun to see for a few minutes a game. I would love for that to be true. Maybe with CJ and Dame in the game at the same time. Less need for a SF to handle the ball. Can he move quick enough laterally to pull it off on D. Obviously it would depend on the match up.
