I think the ideal trade for the blazers would be a three team trade.

Ant Simons + Portland's #3 -> Washington

Beal + Portland's #23 -> Boston

Brown -> Portland

Washington gets to rebuild quickly with a great player in Simons and with either Miller or Scoot.

Beal balances Boston's roster.

Brown is the defensive wing that Portland is looking for.

That is an interesting proposition. I don't have the knowledge to judge how each party might view this but it's interesting.

A lineup of Dame, Sharp, Brown, Grant, and Nurk is definitely an interesting 5. Not sure if Portland can really put together much of a bench though. Not sure anyone outside Eubanks and Little are really "championship caliber bench" players and I'm not really sure those 2 are good enough to be the first ones off the bench on a championship level team, especially one that doesn't have a top 5 player.

I think it an ideal lineup for Dame. Position 2 to 5 are all plus defenders, and each player is also not bad offensively.
