Portland - Sac
Revisiting this one here
Sabonis, Monk for Ayton, Henderson, Clingan, Murray + 2 1st round picks (discuss which ones?)
Kings pick a direction. They get a young defensive big + a pg who has shown flashes. Flip Demar/JV somewhere and let Ayton/LaVine tank for a top 5 pick.
Core - Scoot, Carter, Keon, Nique, Keegan, Clingan, Maxime
Portland makes another win now move. Sabonis would be a great mentor for Hansen. Portland definitely has enough defense to incorporate Sabonis. This could be a sneaky good team.
Jrue - Sharpe - Camara - Deni - Sabonis
Monk - Thybulle - Grant - Williams - Hansen

Lol... no thanks... have observed Sacramento and Indiana Pacers try and win with him for some time
No interest in paying the Kings a Kings Ransom for Sabonis

Re: Portland - Sac
I don't like this for the Blazers. As others have already said, that's way more than I think anyone should be giving up for Domantas.

Re: Portland - Sac
My impression is this doesn't make sense for where Portland is and, given how incredibly strong the West is, this seems like the completely wrong time to make a win-now move.
I love Sabonis as a player. I think he'd be great in a place like Detroit or Atlanta.

Re: Portland - Sac
I like Sabonis too, but this just values him like a #1 guy on a contender, which he isn’t.

Re: Portland - Sac
My interest in Sabonis has only weakened since taking on Jrue’s contract and seemingly going a more defensive identity route. This proposal ups the price from previous proposals. Clingan, Scoot, and 2 1sts feels like a lot.

Re: Portland - Sac
I think SG is the area Blazers need to work on the most. A vet upgrade to Sharpe would be my goal if we're winning now.
If we're spending assets, i would rather upgrade the offense since that's where we are lacking right now.

Are you saying the package that Portland is giving up values him like a #1 on a contender? If so we must strongly disagree on scoot/Clingan value

Previous suggestions included Portland current lotto pick. This suggestion also includes monk.
Id imagine that new Portland team is a top 6 seed. Value of the picks dropped and adding more here.
I get Portland fans not liking it, but I think the team has an appetite to go win. We will see

I’m saying Sabonis is not worth the package, and not a top guy on a contender.

Previous suggestions I was on board with also didn’t include both Clingan and Scoot. Monk is nice, but also not a strong defender, and we go right back to complicating minutes. I also value future picks more than most because of the flexibility. I’d consider Ayton, Sharpe, and a 1st if we got both Sabonis and Monk. Doubt Kings are on board.
