Instead of sending Pascal to Portland, the idea of bringing Lillard to Toronto is pretty interesting. I think we could outbid other teams for him if we offered Barnes and OG (plus Boucher as salary filler). The question would be whether we'd still have enough talent to be a contendor. If not, we should obviously just keep our young guys.
Portland would have Simons / Sharpe / OG / Barnes + a high lotto pick. That would be a nice group to rebuild around.
Raptors lineup
Lillard / Flynn
FVV / Trent
Porter / #13 pick
Siakam / Achiuwa
Poeltl / Koloko
We'd be looking to re-sign all of our Free Agents in this scenario, with sign and trades for FVV or Trent also being options. For example, sign and trading FVV to Orlando for Cole Anthony, Gary Harris, and Chuma Okeke would help add some depth and balance the roster a bit.
Ok, so this is clearly a bad idea. Lillard is really fun though, he pairs well with Siakam, and I'd enjoy watching him play.
