Blazers take this massive risk and hope Kawhi can be injured enough this season so they can still get Cooper Flagg. You get off Ant and JG and going in to next year you have Scoot, Shae, Kawhi, Flagg, Ayton with Deni 6th man, Cling Kong, and Toumani. In this situation the Blazers could always trade Kawhi similarly to what happened with Jrue and you still have a solid core where you just start Deni. Sucks to give up ‘27 and ‘29 picks but I think you hope you’re contending by then. No idea how Clippers fans will feel about this. Also Batum retires back home.
