None are untouchable but I'm not giving up Deni Donovan Camara unless it's a massive return.
Would take much less from the others. Not sure they have much value though.

set Dame aside. He doesn't count because he has a no trade clause
none of the other players should be untouchable, But Deni, Clingan, and Camara are difficult to touch
by the way, isn't Tamari kind of like a soy sauce?

Odd man out cuz I say nobody is off limits. No team is going after Dame anyways given age and injury. POR will be annihilated in the first round this year, provided they get that far, and not get a pick. They need talent badly. They still have no true number 1 option in sight no matter how you look at it.

They were special agents of the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition, lead by Eliot Ness....but I'm not sure what that has to do with the Blazers right now.
(you can blame my love of the movie "Airplane" for that one. Fun fact, Robert Stack played Eliot Ness in the ABC show "The Untouchables" and was also in the movie "Airplane")

Dame has a no trade clause.
I don't think anyone on this roster is untouchable, we're just not good enough and I don't think the ceiling is high enough, so any of them could be moved.
I don't think Scoot or Shaedon could bring back the right value in a trade and trading one of them could have us looking like the Wizards look having traded Deni but if the offer reflects a future all star then you move them.
Deni could command a huge amount back and it would take a team overpaying but his contract is tricky so if we get that huge offer, I have no problem improving the team's ceiling by moving him.
Tou would also need a big return to move.
Clingan would only be available if a more mobile C with higher upside was either coming in from another trade or offered for him.
Everyone else could go.

Agree that no one is ever untouchable for the right return.
Now, if the question is who I value the most on this team, I would start with Deni.
Deni's skill set, IMO, is the hardest to replace. I have been waiting for a really good point forward for years, and he is by far the best of any that we have tried since maybe Pippen? Point forwards allow a team to have a lot more flexibility with lineups. (ie, 2 SGs on the floor at the same time)
The next hardest to replace is probably Camara. You would think a 3 and D forward would be easy to find, but over 200 3pters made, along with taking over 100 charges on D, is hard to find. Only the 4th Blazer ever to make over 200 3s in a single season. (although Dame did it multiple times)
After that, the choice gets tougher. There are quite a few I would want to keep (DC for sure), but in the end, their skill set is a little easier to replace.

Agree with others there's no point in talking about Dame. Has a no trade.
To me the more interesting answer is if we trade players for future assets, like Jrue for a pick. Or do we trade young players with potential and picks for a declining star like Giannis.
Personally I'd prefer we don't give up assets for a star over 30, unless it makes us a legit contender. I don't think a Giannis trade would do that.
I would have actually loved to acquire Anthony Davis for basically 2nd rounders like the wizards. I'd look to do those moves, which is kind of what we did in acquiring Jrue. Keep all our youth/picks and add vets that are buy low opportunities.
