What would it take? SF edition

The trade deadline is fast approaching, and the consensus around BE is that we need a legit Small Forward. Not a lazy Lover, or broken Blake. I have pulled 10 top tier SF's, some that have been mentioned on other threads, and some who's names don't come up, I assume because they must be unrealistic... But these are the Blazers we're talking about here, and I'd like to see a swing for the fences.

Here they are, what would you be willing to give up for these guys?

1. Brandon Clarke - Memphis PER 22.63 EWA 4.0 ($2.4 mil, $2.6 mil)

2. Marcus Morris - Knicks PER 17.42 EWA 3.6 ($15 mil)

3. Gordon Hayward - Celtics PER 19.59 EWA 2.6 ($32 mil, $34 mil)

4. Moritz Wagner - Wizards PER 18.78 EWA 1.8 ($15 mil)

5. Andrew Wiggins - Timberwolves PER 17.77 EWA 3.5 ($27 mil, $29 mil, $31 mil, $33 mil)

6. Davis Bertans - Wizards PER 16.56 EWA 2.5 ($7 mil)

7. T.J. Warren - Indianapolis PER 16.56 EWA 3.6 ($10, $11, $12 mil)

8. Bojan Bogdanovic - Utah PER 15.76 EWA 3.1 ($17, $17, $18, $19 mil)

9. Kelly Oubre Jr. - Phoenix PER 16.01 EWA 3.3 ($15, $14 mil)

10. OG Anunoby - Toronto PER 12.86 EWA 1.2 ($2.2, $3.8 mil)

Brandon Clarke would be too tough to steal, but might open up the door for us to get Kyle Anderson? They have 5 SF's!

I hate Marcus Morris, but you only hate an asshole when they are on the other team amiright? His problem is he is an UFA after this season, so without guarantee's I don't see any team giving them much for him. He could help right the ship this year, and we could possibly resign him next season to $12-$14 mil.

Gordon Hayward would be a legit pickup, and I'd be willing to spend BIG to get him here. He'd be under contract through next season too. Minus his freak accident, he has historically been a healthy player. Plays defense and drains 3's, with some ball handling. It would take HW, Simons and this years 1st at a minimum to get him, but he is a Top 10 SF in the league if you're looking at Wins added and PER.

TJ沃伦一直在一些人的som的雷达e time now. His contract is good for 2 more years after this season, and maxes out at $12mil. People say his defense comes and goes in spurts. Because of his salary, we'd need filler, like a Jeremy Lamb or gods forbid Myles Turner... DUN DUN DUUUUN!


In my mind, there are 3 untouchable's on our roster: Dame, Nurk and Collins, so I'd be willing to package any youth, plus most picks, except for 2022, to get nearly every single one of these guys on our team (except Wiggins). I know that being in a small market draft picks are more valuable to us than most, but not if we are taking an honest to goodness shot at winning a championship in the next 3 years.
