[Massey] Per source, the #Trailblazers have had trade discussions with the #Wizards surrounding the No. 3 pick and Kristaps Porzingis. More pieces would be involved, but something to watch. - eviltoast

    I think the ideal trade for the blazers would be a three team trade.

    Ant Simons + Portland’s #3 -> Washington

    Beal + Portland’s #23 -> Boston

    Brown -> Portland

    Washington gets to rebuild quickly with a great player in Simons and with either Miller or Scoot.

    Beal balances Boston’s roster.

    Brown is the defensive wing that Portland is looking for.

      That is an interesting proposition. I don’t have the knowledge to judge how each party might view this but it’s interesting.

      A lineup of Dame, Sharp, Brown, Grant, and Nurk is definitely an interesting 5. Not sure if Portland can really put together much of a bench though. Not sure anyone outside Eubanks and Little are really “championship caliber bench” players and I’m not really sure those 2 are good enough to be the first ones off the bench on a championship level team, especially one that doesn’t have a top 5 player.

        I think it an ideal lineup for Dame. Position 2 to 5 are all plus defenders, and each player is also not bad offensively.
