In an attempt to keep Dame, Portland does a Sign & Trade with the Spurs to get Derozan. Demar can get a chance to actually compete but he has to be a second option. With his outbreak as a playmaker in San Antonio, I don't think that Dame and Derozan would have any problem working well together. Additionally for Portland they get Bamba, Ross, and MCW from Orlando by giving up picks and young guys like Simons and DJJ. Bamba provides a great backup option to Nurkic who can step into a starting role if Nurkic continues to struggle with health. MCW gives the Blazers defense and playmaking off the bench which they were missing last year. Additionally, Ross comes in for wign scoring off of the bench. For free agent signings the Blazers resign Norm and Jefferson, and they take a chance on Otto Porter to beef up their bench defense. For the Clippers, they get CJ McCollum to pair next to PG and hopefully Kawhi. Being injured, Kawhi is most likely going to resign with LA but will probably be out for most of the season. So until then, PG needs a partner, I think that a pairing of CJ and PG combined with the Clippers rotation is enough to secure a playoff spot while waiting for Kawhi. They would give up this years first, a future second, and Kennard, Ibaka, Ferrel, and Oturo. The Spurs probably do this because this is one of the only scenarios in which they get back anything for Derozan considering he is unrestricted. They get picks and some young guys like Little from Portland. The Clippers would have flexibility to play CJ at the 1 and start Mann next to him at the 2. This would allow CJ to get his playmaking up as a primary ball handler before Kawhi gets back and PG moves to the 2. All in all, I think this gives San Antonio a return for Derozan, additionally Orlando adds picks to their rebuild and a couple of promising young guys.

New Blazers: Dame - Norm - Demar - Covington - Nurkic Bench: MCW - Ross - Jefferson - Porter - Bamba

New Spurs: Murray - White - Johnson - Ibaka - Poetl Bench: Ferrel - Kennard - Vassel - Samanic - Eubanks/FA Signing

New Clippers Pre Kawhi: CJ - Mann - PG - Morris - Zubac Bench: Rondo - Beverly - Batum - Patterson - Boogie

New Clippers Post Kawhi: CJ - PG - Kawhi - Morris - Zubac Bench: Rondo - Beverly - Mann - Batum - Boogie

New Magic: Depends on draft.
