I just watched a video on YT posted by theScore about a potential Dame for Scottie trade scenario. You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/K745tbahVvw
Raptors: They trade Scottie Barnes to get back into title contention. The Raptors need an efficient and high-volume scorer to make it far in the Play-offs and Dame is just that guy. Hate to see the former ROTY go but Dame is an All-NBA/MVP Caliber player that the Raptors need to stay competitive.
Trailblazers: They get an absolute HAUL of young assets + draft capital. Scottie, Scoot, and Shaedon would be funto watch. They are oozing with potential and have a lot of draft picks to build on what they have. Wouldn't be surprised if they were a Play-In team.
Grizzlies: They get involved to add a solid player to their bench. JJJ always seems to be on the IL. Adding a vet with championship experience in Boucher would be a sneaky good pick-up for them. They are giving up a few young pieces and 2nd round draft picks to make a deep playoff run.
Jazz: They give up Grizzlies 2nd rounder for a great vet in Thad Young who will be a mentor to their young core. This team is lacking a real vet since they traded Rudy Gay to Atlanta. I see this as a no-brainer for them to get involved. Plus he is off the books next year and can comeback on a more team-friendly deal.
This trade package benefits all teams in their own way. I'd definitely pick-up the phone and start dialing if I was Masai. Let me know what y'all think.
