Tatum courting Lillard is making the rounds with the pundits. Let’s assume he is successful, and Boston will trade Brown. Portland could find a third team with better assets than Miami, Philly, New York, or even Brooklyn.

Dallas would be my choice as they need to build around Doncic, want to dump salary, and have Lively.

BOS: Lillard

DAL: Brown

POR: Lively, Prosper, Hardaway Jr. Williams, Bullock, picks

Utah suddenly has a 26 year old Markkanen to build around. They may be interested in 26 year old Brown and are loaded with assets.

BOS:Lillard

Utah: Brown

POR: Hendricks, Olynyk, Clarkson, Williams III, picks

Who else might step up with both real prospects, a pick or two, and interest in Brown? Are the Magic old enough for Brown? Is Whitmore/Sengun a problem? Could Bridges and Brown play together? Would the Pacers part with Walker? Just who should Portland target?
