They’ve always been flawed defensively around Lillard. This version of Portland would arguably be better than the best Dame/CJ teams of the last 5 years.
To get to that outcome, the most likely possibility for OG to POR would be
OG ..... for ..... 7 + Bledsoe (with his guarantee increased to just enough to match, or to full guarantee, depending on TOR's intentions)
Does that look like something that would satisfy TOR?
