Blazers want picks to do a full tear down in any trade scenario. Not mediocre players like Ayton and Herro
The picks go without saying they’re gonna get that.
But the money also hs to work. And Supermax money is a different ballgame it’s virtually impossible to trade for just filler. You’re gonna need at least 1 or 2 significant contracts and that = significant players
I agree I wouldn’t want herro, but ayton at 25 would be a good fit for them.
Also ‘full rebuild’ isn’t really accurate bc they’ve drafted themselves into having a A1 core 1-3: Simons, sharpe, Miller/scoot. So they don’t really need to TANK tank
Look at Ja. They got him and didn’t look. They didn’t dikk around trying to be bad.
Scoot-Simons-Sharpe-PF-Ayton
Herro- 6th man
That’s legit a team that can fight for a play in spot year 1, especially if Scoot is the real deal
