So the idea is that they won't get like a mega-star, but can still get some good pieces & be able to legitimately compete for the championship. Here is my full plan and idea for that
1: CJ McCullom to the Mavs for Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, Josh Green, Trey Burke and a 2027 top 5 protected FRP
2: Dario Saric & a 2026 top 5 protected FRP in return for Maxi Kleber and Josh Green
3: Dario Saric and a 2027 and 28 SRP for THT
4: Dwight Powell, Anfernee Simons and a 2026 FRP (Suns) and 28 FRP (Blazers) for Dillion Brooks
5: TJ Warren for Dillion Brooks and Greg Brown
6: THT, 2024 Hawks SRP and Nassir Little for Jokob Poetle
7: 2022 Grizzlies SRP to the Jazz in return for Trey Burke
8: 2027 Mavs FRP (top 5 protected) and a 2022 SRP (Grizzlies) for Cam Reddish
That was the more simplified version, here is what it adds up to:
Mavs: Powell, Kleber, Josh Green, 2027 top 5 protected FRP and Trey Burke for CJ
Suns: Saric and a protected FRP in returen for Kleber and Josh Green
Lakers: Saric and 2027 and 28 SRP in returen for THT
Grizzlies: Powell, Simons and 2 FRPs in reutrn for Brooks and Tyus Jones
Pacers: TJ Warren for Brooks and Greg Brown
SAS: THT, Hawks 2024 SRP and Nassir little for Jokob Poetle
Jazz: Grizzlies SRP for Trey Burke
Hawks: FRP and SRP in reutrn for Cam Reddish
Blazers: CJ, Little, Simons, Grey Brown, FRP, SRPs for Warren, Poetle and Reddish
SO, an NINE team trade, can the Blazers keep up?
Dame-Powell-Warren-Nance-Nurkic
Jones-Snell-Reddish-Covington-Poetle
They'd have a excellent starting point guard with a solid 2 guard in Powell, a 3 in Warren that can score very well with Nance who can defend and Nurkic a solid 2 way 5. For their bench, they got a top backup point guard in Tyus Jones, then Snell who isnt bad, Reddish who can defend and could give them some good minutes, Covington, a very good backup 4 and then have Poetle and excellent backup 5. I think that with their depth, their D, their scoring possibilities if Nurkic is back healthy and can get 17 a game, you have Powell who can get 17, Warren who can get 20 and then Dame who can get 30, with Nance stretching the floor and Covington they can combined for 15-20 a game, with the rest of their team I believe that on a good night they can beat anybody.
What do you think? HOW FAR WILL THE BLAZERS GO IF THEY HAD THIS EXACT TEAM?
