Born in Portland, Oregon, while father Arvydas was playing for the Blazers in the mid-1990s, Sabonis going home would provide the Blazers with the perfect third star.

Arguably the league's best passing big man outside of Nikola Jokic, Sabonis would do wonders to improve a Portland team that finished dead last in assist ratio this season (51.5 percent).

At age 25, Sabonis averaged 20.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor. He's not a big-time rim protector like teammate Myles Turner, but he puts forth a good effort on defense and plays passing lanes well.

A lineup of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Norman Powell (if he re-signs), Sabonis and Jusuf Nurkic could be the best offense in the NBA—one that moves the ball far better.

If the Pacers don't want to get stuck in the middle of the East, Simons is a high-upside scoring guard who shot 42.6 percent from three this season. Little, 21, can play and defend multiple positions, and Cov…

He got lucky by the kg paul pierce trade. Its wierd beacuse he

had been very horrible if your underperforming but still wants

value. Kemba was signed after and all-nba year to a good

contract at the time. Gordon Hayward same deal. These guys

underperformed during their time in boston. BUT Danny still

wanted Jrue holiday, James Harden, Oladipo, Turner AND the

Dpoy(Tj Mcconall). just my thoughts. Where do you think he

will go and there is some rumours of utah and pheonix. lol

probs gonna try to trade for dame. If you have been on twitter

it has been crazy cuz also brad stevens has been place on

manegment. Usally coaches arnt gms so he could flop buUUT maybe

it wont be please like and leave thoughts in the comments…

There's plenty to unpack here, starting with a few this-only-happens-if caveats. This only happens if…

The Clippers and Blazers are both bounced in the first round and become convinced major roster moves are needed. Kawhi Leonard stays put in free agency (after presumably declining his player option) and gives his blessing for L.A. to trade his hand-picked running mate. Damian Lillard really has moved past his old rivalry with Paul George and OKs the trade of longtime backcourt mate, CJ McCollum. Those are some massive ifs, but if every box is checked, this could be a fascinating attempt by both franchises to capitalize on their championship windows.

The Clippers collectively improve their shot-creation and playmaking around Leonard with McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. Even if neither matches up to George individually, together they could offer more offensive relief to Leonard and help get the ball moving. L.A. would miss George on defense, but it could still blanket opposing wings with…

The Pelicans were supposed to be better than this. So were the Timberwolves.

But despite carrying playoff hopes into this season and rostering an NBA elite, neither could score even a ticket to the play-in tournament. Both could now be open to a mega-move if the price is right.

The Pels need to level up around all-galaxy phenom Zion Williamson. They can't half-step the effort like last summer, when they spent big on Steven Adams but also sold off Jrue Holiday. It's never too early for a non-major market to show a young superstar its commitment to winning, and frankly, Williamson is such a dominant force already, New Orleans needs to be an annual playoff participant sooner than later.

Making an aggressive move for former All-Stars (and close friends) Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell would not only get Williamson's attention, it should also give the Pelicans a direct path to a top-10 offense (if not a top-five attack). The pick-and-roll options between the three are endless, an…

The basketball gods are effectively pointing the Spurs toward a youth movement this summer, as DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay and Patty Mills are all entering unrestricted free agency. But with head coach Gregg Popovich still in charge, it's hard to envision San Antonio chasing anything other than competitiveness.

Perhaps that pushes the Spurs toward re-signing one or more of those vets, but they're better off chasing a talented player on the same timeline as their young core. Domantas Sabonis would be perfect.

The 25-year-old has already booked a pair of All-Star trips on the strength of a Spurs-ian blend of skills and smarts. While he has dabbled more with a three-ball of late, he largely operates from the elbows in as a passer, post scorer and interior finisher. This season, he was the league's only player to average 20 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

Assuming the Spurs are done with DeRozan, they'll need a new offensive focal point. Sabonis can be that centerpiece.

The Pacers, me…

The Knicks need more scoring. Even with Julius Randle's All-Star ascension, RJ Barrett's sophomore leap and Immanuel Quickley's ahead-of-schedule contributions, New York finished 22nd in offensive efficiency. Through two playoff games, the Knicks are averaging four fewer points per 100 possessions than they did in the regular season.

The Cavaliers could have a dynamic scorer up for grabs. Collin Sexton just ranked as this season's 18th-best scorer (one spot ahead of Randle) with a career-high 24.3 points per game. The scoring guard also paired that production with a personal-best 57.3 true shooting percentage.

And yet, an NBA executive told Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer the Cavs could consider trading Sexton as opposed to giving nine-figure contracts to both him and Jarrett Allen.

If Sexton is available, the Knicks should make the call.

They need his scoring punch and secondary playmaking. They also should have enough touches to go around where Randle, Sexton, Barrett, Quickley a…

The Miami Heat could look to improve the point guard position for the second half of the season. This was a focus in the NBA offseason and they were unable to do so. This led to team to bringing back Goran Dragic and running with ultimately the same team that made it to the finals last year. So far this season, they have not had the same fortune.

Miami is currently in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference. They expected to finish near the top with some of the elite clubs but have not looked the part just yet. Individually, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro have played well this season with Jimmy Butler being the focal point of the offense once again. This team has seen some inconsistencies, which is why they could be looking to add another big-name player at the deadline. Russell Westbrook would join Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo to create a bit of a big three with the Heat. He would solidify the most important position on the floor and give the team a dynamic option at the top of…

The Raptors still have plenty of talent on the roster even if

Kyle Lowry leaves in free agency, and especially if Gary Trent

Jr. re-signs. Toronto shouldn't even consider tearing things

down, instead of focusing on upgrading the center position

around Chris Boucher. Horford should be very available while he

waits for a trade out of Oklahoma City. The 34-year-old center

averaged 14.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals,

and 0.9 blocks while making it splash 36.8 percent of the time.

His contract has become far more manageable, with $27 million

due in 2021-22 and $26.5 million in 2022-23, though only $14.5

million is guaranteed in that final season. Both Baynes (5.8

points on 43.1 percent shooting) and Hood (4.2 points on 34.6

percent shooting) have been awful in their time with the

Raptors this season, so flipping them for Horford at least

gives Toronto a starting center in return. This is a

financially driven move for OKC, as both Baynes and Hood are on

expiri…
