Do we think Portland says no to Vuc, Carter, Portland first, and a couple 2nds for Ayton?
If they do say no and Chicago is willing to add (they shouldn’t)…
Does Chicago trade back from 11 to get a real future first for Portland? Somewhere between..
16 and the 2025 Denver first
21 and NOP’s 2025 first
Maybe Philly with one of their other team future picks, though that’s probably not the direction they go this offseason. Moving up to 11 vs 20 would help with matching contract if they decided to go for Reed+?? and maintain their free agent cap holds..
Chicago keeps 21st and gives Portland their first and the NOP first.. Portland tries to find an expiring for Vuc.
For better or worse I strongly believe that PDX FO sees Ayton as part of the 'young core' despite being overpaid, not that good and not that young.
