Jokic to Portland

[BlazersBroncos]

Denver trades: Nikola Jokic

Portland trades: Donovan Clingan, Scoot Henderson, Robert Williams, Shaedon Sharpe, 2028 MIL 1st, 2028 ORL 1st, 2029 best of MIL/BOS/POR 1sts, 2030 MIL 1st, and some other picks and swaps where needed.

I honestly would add in Deni and still do this trade from Portland's side. But its always been a dream of mine to root for Joker on my hometown team.

Think PDX could keep RWIII, include Deni and run RWIII at PF alongside Joker. That could really work well IMO.

But if PDX includes Deni the Blazers + Jokic are straight up worse than DEN right now, so not sure Joker would be willing to play ball.

All that being said, I want Joker to retire in DEN. Hope he goes out like Dirk.

Jokic will have some say where he goes, but i dont think anyone really outbids the Thunder. Chet/Jdub/IH and some picks/young guys is just tough to overcome.

I agree that if Jokic leaves it's likely for Lakers to team up with Luka.

Houston would offer
Sengun, Sheppard, Capela, 2027 BRK #1, 2027 Phx #1, 2029 Phx #1, 2029 Dal #1, and some swaps.

FVV/Amen/Durant/Jabari/Jokic

Charlotte beats that offer as they have the most future 1st round picks of any team in the entire league.

What is the offer?

The problem there is you may have a bunch of trade assets, but you don't have a team leftover ready to win.

That's probably a better offer!

This isn't my reaction to the Watson S&T but ymmv

Yeah if Denver was to do a tear it down rebuild this would be the starting place. Same poster posted a Jamaal Murray trade too.

[basketballwacko2]

Going to take more than that to get Jokic. Scoot is very underwhelming, Sharpe is decent but how much more of a ceiling is there for him? Clingan is a solid piece and the picks in theory look good on paper but this needs more IMHO

I think it would take the Blazers 2027 #1, one of the 2028 picks, both of the 2029 picks they have then 31 and 33. And maybe some swaps too. Then you have to match salary without Denver taking on any bad contracts. I don't think Denver would want RW3, I'd try the 6 #1's and Holiday, Clingan and Scoot and maybe Sidy Cissoko. This saves Denver some money Holiday still can play. If the Nugs are also trading off Murray then Holiday will fill in at PG until they can finish the rebuilding.

Somewhat depends on if they can get real value out of Murray. But then do you trade Gordon and Johnson too?
