I think our team will make at least a couple trades this offseason so let's see those ideas.
 
Scoot+GSW Pick for Trae Young
If they'd do it that's not a bad win now move for us but I don't think we're giving up enough. We would really need to move Ant at that point for a starting caliber PF.

Trae, Matisse, Jerami, PF for Ant, Deandre, Shaedon, Malcolm, if Rob Williams is healthy and whoever of the young forwards earns a spot in that rotation (Tou, Bari, Kris) would be a playoff team.

I really hope we don't do any win now moves because we'd only be setting ourselves up to be a first round and out team again but if that's what we're going for this would be a helluva trade.

It's a good starting point for the trade framework. We'd probably have to sweeten the pot a little more (future 1st?, 2nd's + add in salary filler). Would be a great way to short-circuit the rebuild and have something cookin' next year.

Don't forget we'd be keeping our #1 in this scenario. Adding in Sarr or Rissacher into this core would be awesome. Great mix of young talent, our current Vets, and Trae leading the way.
 
I'd like to see Brogdon, Grant, and Timelord all dealt. I'd also like to see Simons go, but I'm not convinced that will happen.
I even think Tisse could be a good piece to see dealt, he's a win now piece that I think would add more value to a win-now team than our team. I'm with you on everyone on your list. I'm really hoping they move Ant too but you're probably right about him.
 
How many did we trade prior off-season (2022?).

I'd probably think 0 is more likely than any single number.
 
Timelord and Thybulle have negative value - would be shocked if either is dealt. Also would be shocked if Blazers trade Ant, they didn't get to see much of him with Sharpe/Scoot.

I'd think Brogdon/Grant yes might have a chance - but it's hard to tell if this franchise will commit fully to rebuilding or continue this odd veteran fence straddling.

You'd think attaining 21 wins and dead last in the conference would make that choice for them - but they often are pretty stubborn.

I don't think Tisse has negative value. One of the most disruptive defenders in the league and he's someone you can't just leave open from three. At only 11M a season I think he could easily be moved... I don't know if he'd fetch a FRP without us including a second but I'd be shocked if he isn't valued around the league.

The only thing you really have to know is that he played just as well this season as he did last season and we had to match an offer sheet on the guy.

I found it really interesting that Joe didn't mention Jerami, Tisse or Malcolm in his exit interview. I honestly feel like Joe has a similar situation to the one he had with Jerami when we acquired him. I think he likely has some deals already agreed to for the offseason that couldn't get done at the deadline for salary reasons. We'll just have to wait and see.
 
The Blazers need to do a very slight shuffle of the deck. With a pack of new rookies en route, and the luxury tax threshold exceeded, i expect 1 or 2 guys traded for financial liquidity, oh sorry.. for cap flexibity. Then a few players need to get cut for new rookie roster spots.

Cody Willams is going to be a Blazer. It only makes sense to trade Jerami for picks and expirings. But i'll leave the GM ideas to my fellow Blazer fans.
 
Here we go:

Simons to the Magic for Wendell Carter and Jalen Suggs, plus 2 picks. One from the Magic and probably the Nuggets 2025 pick.

Why do the Magic do it? They need Simons' scoring in the backcourt. He'd make a great partner with Banchero. 2 picks might be steep.

Brogdon to the Bulls for Ball and our pick back.

Why do the Bulls do it? This depends on whether they blow it up this summer. If they move LaVine and DeRozan, there's no point getting Brogdon. I don't have a good grasp on Ball's value right now. Is he healthy? Will he ever return?

Grant and Warriors pick to the Kings for Barnes and Keegan Murray.

Why do the Kings do it? They're on the cusp of being good, and Sabonis isn't getting any younger. They add Grant to Sabonis and Fox.


Scoot
Sharpe
Keegan
Sarr? (other rookie?)
Ayton

Bench
Ball (if he plays)
Suggs
Camara
Walker
WCJ

Still trying to find a home for Timelord.

Williams to Memphis for 2 second round picks
 
A lot will depend on where the lottery balls bounce, obviously.

Have seen a lot of speculation about Trae Young to San Antonio. I'd try to sell them on Anfernee, for a cheaper price than they'd have to pay for Young. Both in draft capital and in overall $$.

Something like Simons and GS pick for SA pick +.

Grant to Sacramento for Barnes, Huerter, and their pick. Move Barnes and Huerter wherever we can.

Take SA pick and Sac pick to try to move to 2 or 3, depending on where we are at?

I really think Orlando is a perfect partner for Simons.

I really like the idea of trading Ant to Orlando for Wendell Carter and Jalen Suggs+ a draft pick. I think that would be awesome for both sides. We would also get Hailey Van Lith as a Blazers fan.

Simons + Ayton for WCJ + Isaac + JoeIngles (team option) + Black + ORL and DEN 2025 picks.
Orlando keeps their guys at the expense of Black. And the picks. They can ditch some expiring contracts, so they may not have to send Ingles back and instead use cap space … maybe ... Isaac is an expiring contract. It’s really about WCJ + Black + picks and lower team salary for Portland. I just don’t quite see Ayton as our dude at center. He is good.

Brogdon and Chicago I like. Pick is finalized/returned to Blazers.

Grant + 14 to SAC for Keegan Murray + our 2025 2nd rounder back + Huerter and his injured knee and 2 years of reasonable contract (can stay or be traded).

PORTLAND goes for young talent, picks, picks returned, and lower salary. Tankathon opens new corporate offices in the Rose Quarter. Matisse traded … to a contender-ish team. Details pending.

Scoot, Sharpe, Keegan Murray, DRAFTEE, WCJ
Bandon, Rupert, Camara, Huerter, Kris Murray, Walker, Isaac, Reath
13 + 2 second rounders / 2-ways … etc.

Ball is damaged goods. I wouldn't be in a rush to get our pick back as there's a very real chance it just becomes a 2nd rounder. This seems more like a deadline deal if we can't find a better return for Brogdon.
 
Grant and #14 this year to Sac for Barnes, Hueter and a 2026 1st round pick
Brogdon to Philly for a 2025 1st round pick

Williams to Memphis for 2 second round picks
This is too big of a sentence, not sure if it's one deal or 4.

Wasn't it being discussed elsewhere that if we don't control our pick by the time the first swap comes around with Milwaukee, we might lose the swap?

Yes, but that is 2028 draft. Plenty of time before needing to worry about that detail.

Nate… Suggs is better than Ant. He’s a DPOY candidate. They would not give up him and WCJ and picks for Simons.
 
I hope that it's greater than 0, not including deals just with draft picks, but I fear Cronin is just going to let it ride and we won't see any veterans moved.

Most of the deals in this thread would definitely exceed my expectations at the moment.
