They'd pick up: VJ, Demin, Pritch, Scottie Barnes... if they had drank Felix Felicis that day, and everyone else was drunk on life & just wanted to make everyone happy. Because there's no way any of these teams are parting with these players, Toronto's not giving up Scottie, Celts aren't giving up Pritch, Sixers aren't giving up Maxey or VJ, and Brooklyn definitely isn't giving up Demin either. Especially not for Portland's players in return. Maybe those teams would consider it if Minnesota is moving Ant. Or Thunder giving away J Dub or the Rockets Amen. But I'm sure there's still [many] Portland fans that wouldn't do this.
Blazers lineup: Jrue/Pritch/Demin @ point, Scoot/Shaedon @ SG, then for the most part run two PF instead of a SF, just run a combination of Barnes/Camara, RW III, Clingan,
that's looking fine before you even factor in VJ.
Celtics don't do this. We're not trading Pritch. Not even for Maxey, even if he was getting paid Payton's contract. But suppose Blazers just get what they want in this scenario. I think they're one piece away from having a GREAT team. Blazers' point guards would lowkey be unreal, and VJ is gunna be better than Scoot & Shaedon. I don't even want to let Pritchard go tho. Even if he is from the area, I feel he wants to be in Boston. I really believe him when he talks that shit-
