[Weinbach] The Toronto Raptors are a team to keep an eye on regarding the Damian Lillard sweepstakes. If Toronto expresses serious interest, Portland could be enticed by a package centered around OG Anunoby, Chris Boucher, salary filler, and draft compensation.

If we keep Barnes and get Dame…..that would be insane. Although….to compete….I really feel like we need OG instead of Barnes.
Barnes being relegated to 3rd option behind Dame and Siakam isn’t going to help him grow into his talent…..and the spacing isn’t quite there in the starting lineup if it’s Poeltl, Siakam, Barnes, Trent, Dame
I would much rather swap Barnes for OG in that lineup.
Why have Pascal and Dame in Portland when you can have Pascal and Dame at home.
Doooo it!
If this were to ever happen and we keep barnes then that would be amazing and unbelievable 😲
DameKam leggo
Inject this shit into my veinssss
What are our teams roster issues again? No point guard, lack of shooting and shot creation in the clutch?
He’s perfect for our team if we decide to pull the trigger
I don’t see this reporter as legit, but I could be wrong.

The scenes if this were to happen lmaoooo
Love OG but wow, do it
For OG I’d do it, Scottie absolutely not
That offer is too good to be true, but I’d guess more draft capital
I love OG but if all it takes is him and Boucher we do the trade asap lmao
This is coming out of Portland hoping to get the Heat to pony up their best package.
honestly don’t see how that team competes
Anyone else gonna cry if OG ever gets traded?
Bro trade Barnes why the fuck would you trade OG?
I’m pressing X to doubt they’d take an expiring contract as the centerpiece of a deal like this.

If you keep Pascal and Scottie while getting Dame back. Do it
We’re gonna stand pat, Masai needs to evaluate
This guy is not a reporter
Pascal for Dame or don’t bother
Depending on the draft compensation, you have to make that trade imo. Literally solves all our issues in one fell swoop. We don’t have a starting PG and we lack shooting and a guy that can create for himself, perfect fit.
Dame/Schroder
Trent
Scottie/Gradey/Porter
Pascal/McDaniels
Jak/Precious/Koloko
Obviously, it’s a glaring hole at SG, but it’s way more balanced than currently constructed.
I love that it’s credited to “Weinbach” like anyone knows who this stooge is other than seeing him make shit up constantly
If that’s it… I’d say do it then, keeping Scottie+Pascal in a Dame trade that doesn’t take away our other young players? That’d be insane
Lilliard
Trent
Barnes
Siakam
Poeltl
👀
If that is seriously all then sure sign me up. I think about zero chance they do the trade without Scottie involved and about zero chance the Raptors include him.
If Portland is done with Miami’s deal then maybe this is a swoop in for OG who they always wanted… But they always wanted him to pair with Dame, so while he is young the desire probably isn’t the same. Draft compensation must be huge to make that happen.
I’m gonna assume this is with like 3 picks and 3 pick swaps? Or something ridiculous like that?
Does OG make any sense for Portland’s timeline? He’s 27 and about to get paid.
Siakam and Dame together fit so nicely on paper!
Raptors would be moronic to not do this trade if it’s actually on the table. There also shouldn’t be a single Raptors fan opposed to this deal *if* it’s actually accurate.
Doubt portland does that without asking for scottie
OG and Boucher will be an easy yes but we probably have to add draft capital and unfortunately thats something we don’t have… would we have to add guys like Dick as well?
**I’m down for another “fuck it all in” season if we somehow keep both Barnes and Siakam.**
sure they are
OG for Dame??? Hell yes sign me up twiceee
Please god
Oh man, this would be so dope.
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Please Masai 🙏
there’s no way we get him with just OG and filler
Masai does this deal in a nanosecond. That’s how i know its fake
Would be amazing to have him but let’s not give us any hope on that front
Do it
