Who do you hope to acquire in the next few years, via draft and free agency, to get us back to the top in 2018-2019? I'm curious as to what fans think we should do down the road.

I'm hoping for Brandon Ingram in next year's draft. He's built like Durant and can score in many ways. He should go between the 4th and 7th picks.

In 2017, I hope we can draft Jayson Tatum. He's a Batum type player, with a better handle who is more aggressive and can atrack the rim. We'd probably have to trade up to #3 to get him, but the draft is deep, and we should have the pieces to do it.

PG Lillard (36) / CJ (12) / Montero
SG Tatum (30) / CJ (18) / Pat
SF Ingram (34) / Aminu (14)
PF Vonleh (32) / Davis (16)
C Leonard (30) / Plumlee (18)

Ingram could be a 20 ppg scorer, and if Leonard, CJ, and Vonleh develop well, we could be looking at a potentially better team then we had last year, and we'd have an offensive juggernaut, with Aminu and Davis off the bench for defense. We'd also have $30M-$40M in cap space to build a bench or to do a lopsided trade.
 
Damian Lillard / Avery Bradley (via trade)
Jamal Murray ('16 draft) / CJ McCollum
Farouq Aminu / Allen Crabbe
Noah Vonleh / Ed Davis
Meyers Leonard / Mason Plumlee
 
Not sure who I'd want at the bigs. I think Leonard breaks out this year, and I'm hoping plums ends up really good next to him

As far as near future, I'd love derozan at sg. And Ben Simmons at sf In the draft.

Then add to that the following year based on how it turns out
 
1- Lillard
2- DeRozan
3- Aminu
4- Vonleh
5- Skal LaBissiere

I'd love Labissiere. I think his ceiling is as good as Anthony Davis is right now... He'll be the best player from this next draft. If we're able to draft him and DMC is on the market I could see us trying to send out Vonleh Plumlee and some other pieces/picks. Skal and DMC would be awesome together.

Jamal Murray would be hilarious since he spurned the Ducks at the last second to go to Kentucky.
 
PG Dame
SG lebron
Sf Durant
PF davis
C Andre Drummond

I want the Blazers to do well this year, so no Simmons or Brown. I also am hoping for a trade for McLemore.

Dame/CJ
McLemore/Furkan Korkmaz (#10, 2016)
Aminu/Harkless
Vonleh/Davis
Leonard/Plumlee

Of course, this omits consideration of use of cap space.
 
Tatum and Ingram are both SFs.

Also, IF we landed Ingram, I doubt we have a pick even in the lottery the following year to trade up for.

Also, I hope we aren't in the lottery the next 2 years. That means...Pretty much, we are developing players for at least the next 4 years and Dame is probably on his way out.

If we did get a top pick, I'm trading them unless it's Simmons or Skal.

Tatum can play the 2, and would be a good fit next to Dame. Ingram is gonna be a stud. He's built like Kevin Durant and can score in all kinds of ways. He's a potential 23-25 ppg scorer if he pans out right. The following year, we would probably get a lotto pick, which coupled with a player, another future 1st, and filler could get you up to 2 or 3. Reason why? That draft is DEEP. It's not like 2016 where you have 3 or 4 good players at the top and the rest are trash.. Nope you got Thon Maker, Dennis Smith, Malik Monk, Kobi Simmons and others.

I would take a flyer on Monk. His tape reminds me a little bit of young Dwayne Wade with a 3ball.
 
Without getting into trade specifics:

PG: Damian Lillard
SG: Daniel Diez (Draft: Malik Newman?)
SF: Al-Farouq Aminu
PF: Noah Vonleh
C: Alex Len

Diez is in your ideal lineup? Haha Malik Newnan would be a good pick for a starting SG, but Diez? Nahhh
 
In three years I'd be surprised if anyone besides Dame, Vonleh and maybe Davis are for sure still with the team. Three years from now doesn't seem like much time, but just look back at this team three years ago - it's feels like a lifetime ago.
 
Lillard- tony wroten (2016 FA)
Jamal Murray (2016)-cj-pat
Jayson Tatum (2017 draft)-aminu-crabbe
john henson (via FA or trade)-davis-whiteside
Legend-plumlee-hassan whiteside

So we wouldn't have done any good in the 2 years before with a team like that.

we will lose a lot of games but it will be a lot of close games. with that team no one can beat us. my team was based on rebuilding through the draft not the FA. look at the spurs they had two no.1 pick with a decade apart, that picks helped them win 5 champs. if we get no.1 pick in 2017 we will win 5 champs before dame retires
 
1. We bonk Durant and LeBron in the middle of the night 2. Use post hypnotic suggestion to make they think they are Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter 3. Win NBA Finals two years in a row 4. Ripcityboy for the Win!

As long as they don't drop off, I think we resign Legend and CJ too, but other than that, I think you might be right. I think CJ and Legend are NO's babies, just like Dame though, so unless something wild happens, I think they stay.

Bones? Im dissapointed. Your a year behind. going into 2017-2018, I would like to see this:

Dame/ CJ/Frazier
Durant/CJ
Aminu/Crabbe
Vonleh/Davis
Plumlee/Legend


If Vonleh pans out and Dame is able to accept giving up the #1 option to Durant, I see this as a about a 25% chance of being real and I think would be a serious contender for several years, plus still keep us free for future options as Durant ages.

if they were to be that we wouldn't win anything and then one would go to the rockets and win there.....
