Who is a realistic trade target that contributes to both immediate and long term winning who can help Cade offensively and add wins to our team?

I was thinking something kind of realistic is Jerami Grant. We could throw Harris, Wiseman, Morris for their expiring contracts and some 2nds to the blazers. They’re not competing this year, and getting out from his contract may be wise. People here call him a ball stopper, but that hasn’t been the case in Portland. He’s good defensively and will age well with his jump shot.

Another, perhaps less realistic target would be Lauri on the Jazz. They’re terrible this year and he’s a free agent after 2025. Trading for him and signing him to a Max could be wise. He is still young, a 7 footer who can shoot, score and defend. Ivey would probably be the center piece, our first in 2029, some seconds and expiring contracts could tempt the Jazz.

I see Kyle Kuzma is on the market. At the right price, he at least brings floor spacing and scoring. Again, still young.

I also thought of John Collins for his shooting and interior defense. He was practically given away by the Hawks last season and should be cheap.
