If Kawhi decides to sign with Portland, the Blazers would need to trade CJ for him in order to clear up the cap and so Kawhi can sign for the super-max. They get back CJ so they can stay competitive while they don't have their first round pick for the next 5 years. Blazers will start Nassir Little until Kawhi returns from injury, giving him time to develop while Dame ensures the Blazers make the play-offs.
Blazers: Dame, Powell, Kawhi, Covington, Nurkic
Clippers: Jackson, CJ, George, Morris, Zubac
