This potential blockbuster will be extremely tricky to pull off. Still, it would be wise for the Dubs to consider if an offer like this actually comes to the table. In what could be the biggest (hypothetical) trade of the season, the Warriors trade Kelly Oubre and Draymond Green to the Blazers for CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons, Zach Collins, and a first-round draft pick.

The Blazers reportedly have their eye on Green. Green would provide as a playmaker, interior defender, and vocal leader. Kelly Oubre could come in and play a similar role to Robert Covington. RoCo is thriving in Oregon so far, and maybe Oubre will get a second wind if he somehow lands in Rip City. While Green handles the ball, he will have many more shooters to pass too. Lillard, Oubre, Covington, Trent Jr, Hood, Melo are all respected three-point shooters. The main reason why this trade is interesting is that the Blazers get a new defensive identity with Oubre and Green.

CJ would be a nice insurance piece given the uncertainty of Thompson’s recovery from another devastating injury. He has also excelled as a playmaker in the past and is no stranger to playing alongside another trigger-happy backcourt mate in Damian Lillard. He has elevated his game to an all-star level, and he will be an added boost offensively. Simons and Collins, meanwhile, could help shore out their bench, while that future first-rounder is a nice piece to have for the future. Losing Green would obviously hurt, but they might need to do so if they will figure in another lost season.

Warriors new lineup: Stephen Curry - C.J. McCollum - Andrew Wiggins - Eric Paschall - James Wiseman

Blazers new lineup: Damian Lillard - Kelly Oubre Jr. - Robert Covington - Draymond Green - Jusuf Nurkic

I do believe that added picks/players could be included in this package.
