So Portland doesn’t want to be Dicked by Miami but they want Dick from Toronto. Okay, cool. As long as Lillard doesn’t go to Miami I don’t care what kind of Dick Portland wants.
 
Grady would be really fun. He's an underrated transition player and his shooting and decision making combination is a skillset we don't have.

Feels very unlikely but if they really want Dame, who knows.

I was gonna like this post, but that would imply I like Dick, and that is just not the case!

Grady/OG/Trent is a great return

Do it now!

I think so to, a young lotto pick and an above average vet at a position of need. I'd like to get Boucher as well.

Also the poetic justice of trading Damian not to Miami, and getting one of the players in return that he wanted us to deal Scoot/Sharpe for....

I'm in the minority but i like Grady. No chance i'm saying his last name.

If we could get OG to sign long term and get a tad bit more and Ayton, i'm all in at this point

I like Grady Dick also. I think he would be a fan favorite because he’s a high energy player and fun to watch, he has the personality and he’s got the ability to be a great shooter.

Portland has a thing about trading guards to Toronto.

Why? Because they should be trying to maximize their chances to win another championship.

They have no realistic chance of winning a championship in the next couple of years. So it's about maximizing things 3-7 years from now. That's why.

That's nonsense.

Trading for OG and Ayton could maximize the chances of winning a title in 3-7 years. You make it sounds like they're Dames age.

1. They both would be well in their prime in 3 years and possibly still very effective in 7 years.

2. Winning more games the next two years could improve Scoot Sharpe development significantly so they're better able to win sooner such as 3 years

3. The opportunity cost of having less win now players than OG or Ayton sounds very minor. If the Miami offer is 3 picks and the Toronto offer is 2 picks we didn't miss out on much

4. Even if the Blazers decide to trade OG or Ayton later it's very possible the return could be higher than their cost today.

If that’s the case maybe they give in and put Scottie Barnes in the deal instead of OG?

I don't think so, I'd assume it could be why discussions have gotten this far and not had the Masai pipedream demands.

If true it's a good sign as probably more likely Toronto is serious about a deal and not just trying to pull one on the Blazers or kick the tires.

barnes scenarios are tough to put together without completely gutting the raptors, unless they have some incredible players in the pipeline ready to go.

It's a good reminder.. in deals this big it's not really a straightforward Cronin and Masai call where they're both on the phone... it's whatever both ownership groups want

The GM is just their assistant

Yeah, Dame is a bigger superstar than the Raptors have had since Vince. He has many national ad campaigns, actually I'm sure he has many international ad campaigns. While he's not LeBron or Steph he might be more appealing to teams from a marketing standpoint than guys much better than him like KD. Dame generates interest. So there is more to his value than just what he brings on the court especially here and in a place like Toronto.

Yeah I don't think the Blazers or Trent are interested in a reunion.

But seems like a 3rd team would at least give up a contract and a 2nd to see what Trent can do for them.

Maybe. But I wouldn't let Trent torpedo a deal if we needed his salary to make a good deal work.
 
I think Barnes will stay untouchable for the Raptors because they have him at such a manageable price for the next two seasons. I think they'd rather give us OG, Dick, salary filler and even throw in picks than fuck around and lose the flexibility that having one of your starters at 10M next season will give them.

Yeah, another way of thinking of this is Toronto doesn't see a way to pay a Siakam Dame OG trio. Even when Barnes is on an extension or a max it'll be much less.

Blazers don't have any big max deals looming if Dame is gone so them paying OG is less of an issue.
