I think they are hoping for something like that... and if that is the case there is still a deal we could make with Mike, Bogey, and a filler salary... plus something minor like swapping their 2023 pick for the Brooklyn/Philly pick. Since NO has swap rights we then get the worse of the NO and LA pick... so it moves you up like 4-5 spots maybe. We offload the last year of Mike's deal. If Dame becomes available they can trade Mike/Bogey/Filler plus the picks for him. Its functionally the same deal and I doubt Blazers would change how they feel about the deal. Dame will have some say on where he goes with the org.I think the Lakers are probably holding out that
someone like the Blazers start off terribly and agree to trade them Lillard for the picks.
