So you want to trade the entire team to sign lillard ?
Melo to the Blazers

The Lillard idea is an interesting hypothetical.
For instance, if the Blazers completely sink this year... and they’re staring at however long that contract is, knowing it climbs to something like $50M when he’s 35, and they could get away with dumping that for a year and a half of Conley.
I don’t think I’d do that, but it’s worth asking yourself the question, especially if you ended up losing Conley for nothing summer after next. But then Dame Dolla could also be Franchise Killa with that $200M.

Dame's salary on the back-end of his contract is on par with the GDP of Costa Rica.
Having said that, they'll never dump him. It'll be McCollum first and I wouldn't want my fingerprints anywhere near that train wreck.
Besides, Portland's salary cap situation really isn't that bad - Nurkic is insanely underpaid and they don't have any bad/long term contracts other than CJ.

They need to get rid of Whiteside. Nurkic's injury really hurt them. I think they'll be fine and can still make the playoffs but I wouldn't have guessed they would have started off 4-8.

Is Melo hungry to prove something and comes back a bit humbled and pissed? My guess is yes. Does he play defense for a few weeks at least? Perhaps. But... the more likely story...
Chips, dips and deck chairs and let the train wreck unfold...
They Blazers probably figure Crymelo can't shoot and worse than their bench:
Bazemore at 35.8%
Trent Jr. at 33.3%
Hezonja at 31.9%
Little at 31.6%
Tolliver at 24.4%
Skal and Simons are their only current bench players who aren't shooting a paltry percentage. And it's going to be tough to win in the West at 7-deep.
Crymelo may be a piece of crap for a good team but I think he has the potential to give the thin Blazers bench some scoring at 40%+ from the field.
