This from Marc Spears was noteworthy too:
– Toronto looks like the hottest Dame team because everything else is so quiet
– Blazers like Gradey Dick a lot
– 2 GMs expect Dame will be out of Portland by Media Day, those same GMs predict Dame will be a Raptor pic.twitter.com/HINpOQfrib – 7:05 PM

More on this storyline
A Raptors offer could include a package featuring players from a roster that includes two-time NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam, 2022 NBA Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes, forward O.G. Anunoby — who is eligible for a contract extension — and rookie sharpshooter Gradey Dick. The Blazers are intrigued about adding a young 6-foot-8 sharpshooter in Dick, a source said. -via ESPN / September 25, 2023
Anil Gogna: To acquire Dame, TOR must send out $36.5M+ TOR can’t stop OG from becoming a FA in ’24, so they’ll likely want him included. And perhaps the reason Trent wasn’t extended was so he’d still be available in potential trade packages? That’s $37M+. But with OG not locked up after this season, POR will ask for more. Gradey Dick could be the final piece. Draft compensation wise TOR also has a max of 2 1sts (’28, ’30) & 2 swaps (’27, ’29) they could include. -via Twitter @AnilGognaNBA / September 25, 2023
Toronto has made clear to all inquiring parties that Barnes stands as the Raptors’ franchise focal point, sources said. Any deal with Toronto could include recent first-round selection Gradey Dick, sources said, just like then-rookie wing Ochai Agbaji and then-rookie center Walker Kessler both functioning as additional draft compensation in Utah’s returns for Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, respectively, last offseason. -via Yahoo!
