Zach Lowe mentioned that any trade including OG should give a Donovan Mitchell type haul... I think if there's a similar deal out there, it would be worth exploring. I love OG but he is very limited in how much he can carry an offence.

OG has a lot of flaws. But on the right team and right personnel he can be invaluable. The amount of work required to defend the best players every night is so hard. You need mentally sound guys to do that. The biggest concern I have with OG is his durability. But that's more of an annoyance than a real issue.
I don't trade OG unless we're getting a star back. Not picks/mediocre players.

Yeah the injuries are a problem. Outside of that I just think he fits our team a lot better than Fred.
He doesn't need a lot of shots (11 FGA per game), he's an excellent 3PT shooter, he's a great passer, rebounds well, get lots of steals and is a good defender. He's also big enough to guard wings.
If the plan is to build around Pascal, OG, and Scottie then Lonzo is an excellent fit with them as the starting PG.
With the injury history we could get a pick heading our way as well. I'd take a chance on Ball.

I suspect in such a deal Masai would absolutely be looking for additional assets coming our way. Like a prospect along the lines of Patrick Williams, a pick, or multiple picks. I do think Lonzo is a pretty great centerpiece in such a deal but we'd certainly be looking for a package around him, especially considering his injury status and history.

What IS the market for Fred, then, in your opinion?
Fred for Lonzo + Patrick Williams is feasible deal that makes sense for both teams, IMO. Who says no?

You'd have to factor in what Siakam would think about that. He's already been asked to waste a couple of seasons in his prime because of the re-tool and waiting on Scottie, Precious, Trent and the rest to develop. Now Raps tell him their plan is to move one of, if not his closest friends on the team and re-tool again? Vets know that it doesn't matter how good a young player might be, you just can't win with them until they gain a certain amount of experience. Not sure if Siakam wants to waste his prime years.
I get they're the same age and came of age with the Raptors but i don't think it's exactly Lowry/DeMar or Pascal/Poeltl-esque.

I have no idea but is there any real evidence or understanding that Fred is "one of, if not his closest friends on the team"?

It's not Scottie's or any of his teammates' fault.
It's 100% on Masai and Nick.
