I am too lazy to truly dive into multi-team deals but this is obviously what would be required because PDX needs more 1sts out of this deal or at least 1sts that come sooner than 2027. So obviously you need other teams in here, but Dame to LAL is my prediction when we inevitably start horribly this year and Dame finally realizes it's time to go.

It makes a ton of sense because Russ' contract makes salary matching way easier in a Dame deal. Blazers would obviously not keep Russ. He could go somewhere else in a multi-team trade or could just be waived by the 'Zers because having his money on the books would actually be helpful to reach the cap floor for a team about to rebuild with a bunch of rookie-scale contracts.

After seeing Anfernee run PG for 30 games as a starter last year (put up All-Star numbers) and watching Sharpe this pre-season, I am ready to say goodbye to Dame and start the new era with Anfernee/Sharpe leading the charge. Ant needs to be PG and Sharpe needs to be SG. That is one electric/dynamic backcourt to start your rebuild with. We have other promising young pieces as well in Little, Johnson, Walker, and Watford. I am all in on the youth movement. It's time to Lose-o-rama for Wembanyama. It's time to Brick for Vic. It's time to Traumatize Ourselves to Wembanyamatize Ourselves.
