By trading CJ, pretty simple.

I wonder if that were done, would we flip the two lottery picks for a guy like Paul George? Say if the the Lottery picks are both in the 6-10 range.

Would we be able to trade our real pick on draft day, given the rules around lotto protection? I assume so but the rules can be capricious.

Yes--the Stepien rule only governs future picks. Once the pick has been made, it is no longer a pick that you would be trading, but the draft rights of a player.

I'd bet my house that the Blazers won't ever sign a marquee Free Agent until they make it to the WCF. Winning is the only thing that will make us a destination.

I would agree on this. Making it to the western finals says we are close and we just need the right piece to get us to the top.
Lots of players would jump at being the missing piece. Plus it helps if you have likeable players. I think Dame will have the potential to recruit by that time.
 
CHA, WAS, BOS all a game or so out of the playoffs.

Henderson for Hawes (still got quite a bit of money left coming his way) + CHA pick (add some lotto protection this year, and remove it for next year).

David Lee and Nene other targets.

Surely those three are much better players for a playoff bound team th a Hendo? What's the angle?

Well I think Henderson would certainly help CHA more than Hawes does. And it saves them about 15 mil over the next three years in exchange for a pick.
 
Henderson cannot be traded back to Charlotte for a year I believe.
 
Personally, I think you're going to need a little of this in order for a team to trade a lotto pick this year:

Did some digging on this and think we may have a loophole. Henderson was acquired on Jun 25, before the start of this current season on July 1. Could be wrong, but according to TradeMachine, the only player on our team with this restriction is Harkless and Orlando.

RealGM tradechecker says Henderson still has the reacquisition restriction on him, though.

Lotto pick is definitely looking far fetched. I'll settle for a pick in the 20s. Or even a protected future first rounder
 
It's not a lottery pick, but how would everyone feel about sending Meyers to Orlando for Channing Frye and a Top-14 protected 1st in this year's draft?

Done.

Frye is probably what Leonard projects to become. ORL's only incentive to do that is $. Doubt they'd do it.

I'd feel great, until the feds arrested Olshey for armed robbery.
 
From Zach Lowe, re @TOR:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14550490/toronto-spent-money-drafted-young-talent-next

If higher-ups think the healthy version of that team could push Cleveland, Ujiri has assets to dangle ahead of next month's trade deadline: the Knicks' pick in the coming draft (thanks, Andrea Bargnani!), a future pick from the Clippers and all his own picks plus a gaggle of young guys who can't get on the floor because the Raptors are too good.

Toronto could flip some of that for help on the wing, or an upgrade at power forward -- the biggest long-term hole on the roster. "We already have so many young players," Ujiri said. "And those extra picks over the next two years -- we can't use all those picks. So [a trade] is always something you're looking at."

Aminu for draft picks! Sell them on the idea he's both a SF AND a PF! Two for the price of one!

Thinking more of facilitating a three team deal with the Nets or one of the other sellers.

Joe Johnson and TOR pick to POR
Ross + Henderson + younger piece to BK
Thad Young to TOR

Something like that.

Don't see Neil trading Aminu yet. He seems to be a bit too chummy with agents and their perception of our franchise (not a bad thing), and trading a guy you just gave a 4 yr contract 6 months prior is not a good look for future deals.

Another note from that Lowe piece: I'm sold on DeRozan as a max player. Can he fit with CJ and Dame, though? Not sure.
