Pretty much the only way a Lillard to Toronto trade works is with a 3rd team taking Siakam. Portland doesn't want Trent Jr back or OG on his contract. Plus that's giving up way too much for Lillard to give up 3 valuable players plus picks. Siakam is the only big enough contract and is worth enough to make the trade happen. Plus Toronto can fill his role with their plerethera of PFs. If Siakam can get 3 1st round picks plus 2 more from Toronto that should be enough for Lillard and beat out Miami.
I've soured a bit on Siakam but I would still consider him for the Jazz as a 3rd team. But I think he might not be a great fit and might cost too much here. I guess Collins and THT works for salary, I'm not sure I would give up enough picks though with an expiring deal. It's too risky.
