Portland Trail Blazers receive Brendan Haywood (contract purposes), 24th pick and two more future first round picks (2018 and 2020 unprotected).

Cleveland Cavaliers receive Nicolas Batum.

Why it makes sense:

If LaMarcus Aldridge leaves it’s probably time for the Blazers to blow up the core. It would seem unlikely Robin Lopez or Wes Matthews return in that situation either. Damian Lillard is young enough to move forward with another core. Who knows what Cleveland will look like come 2018 and 2020. Those could end up being valuable picks, but more likely the 2020 one. Batum gives the Cavs versatility to play LeBron James at the four and opens the the option to let one of J.R. Smith or Iman Shumpert walk during free agency.
