Blazers desperately need to move on from brick-chucking, no-defense-playing, weaksauce Shaedon Sharpe, and manchild DeAndre Ayton. They can entice Utah with Sharpe, Ayton, and the #11 pick to upgrade into Markkanen and the #5 pick, to draft Tre Johnson and get themselves the real franchise wing that Sharpe will never be within Chauncey's system.

Utah can work their mormon magic on Ayton and Sharpe, injecting a strong dose of veteran ballerness into their franchise and moving away from Markkanen's boat anchor contract, which the Blazers accept as the price to pay for getting 3re "The Winner" Johnson.
