Something like Ibaka + filler for Wiggins + top 8 protected 2021 1st rounder could work?
Wiggins is grossly overpaid and has underwhelming impact on the court considering his natural talent level...that said, he's only 23 and the Raptors development environment might just be what he needs to kick start his career.
can't send him to the 905... thats where we develop guys. Masai drafts on length, wingspan, IQ etc. He doesn't identify guys that have played in the league 5 years.
More importantly, dudes a bad cultural fit. I dont want guys on this team that dont work; bad attitudes are just as contagious as good ones

Correct. So don't even.
If you're so bent on having a proven 3 and don't trust OG, then Otto Porter is your guy. But why trade assets when we can max him out next summer?

Denver is fully committed to Jamal Murray but he is a non-traditional point who would benefit with having a guy like Lowry beside him. This does a favour to Lowry who will play with a Finals contender and give them the edgy veteran they need.
Harris is coming off a down year mainly due to nagging injuries, but every year before last he improved every aspect of his game. He is a SG but a two way one that Denver maybe could part with now that Malik Beasley is progressing. Harris is making $17m and they might be willing to move him.
Toronto sends out:
Lowry/Boucher
Denver sends out:
Harris/Plumlee
Toronto gets a star to replace Lowry as opposed to losing him next year for nothing. They can then start Van Vleet and see if he is worth re-signing.
I am a big Harris fan and think he fits the culture here to a tee. Don't know if Denver will deal with Masai, but there is a good case to be made.

a 3-4 of Kuzma/Siakam for years to come could be a formiadable force to build around.

Not a stupid idea, which makes your post stand out in this thread. If the Raptors start off well, and OG emerges as an MIP candidate, it's not happening. But otherwise ...
IIRC, Masai has always like Harris. I enjoyed watching him stalk Serge, PJ and Kawhi and finally pull the trigger only when the price was right (i.e. rock bottom). Harris seems to be another realistic target.

Speaking of guys with good tempo; Corey Webster has been on a tear throughout the entire World Cup.
The New Zealand Tall Blacks may have been eliminated from the tournament, but Webster hasn’t been the reason, leading all players in scoring at 25.0 points a game. And, it’s not just the fact that his production is so high; it’s the way he’s been doing it.
Over their first three games, Webster has shot 51 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from beyond the arc, capping off his final outing of the first group phase against Greece with 31 points. Throw in 5.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists a game, and the New Zealand Breakers should be smiling at what’s coming out of a healthy Webster.

How's his shot?
