MODERATORS
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.
He'd make them better, but I think with Brown Portland's ceiling is second round exit. Is that really what they're shooting for?
If that's the case, they may be better served keeping #3 and trading Lillard. Might have a better actual shot at a championship.
What Dame really needs is defense. There would be no weakness defensively for the blazers except for Lillard. The scoring would be balanced as Sharpe, Brown, Grant, and Nurk can all score. Brown doesnt have to be a primary scorer either. Dame and Sharpe can definitely take on most of the scoring load. The Blazers would definitely need to make other moves after this one, but this is the first step.
