Portland Trail Blazers
NBA Trade Deadline priority: Trade CJ McCollum
The Portland Trail Blazers are stuck; let’s not beat around the bush. Damian Lillard is likely going to miss the remainder of the season (even if he does return, it will only be for the last few weeks of the season) and this team is going nowhere fast.
Heading into the NBA Trade Deadline, there’s no question that the Blazers need to make a big splash. Unfortunately, the only way for them to do so is by trading CJ McCollum – aside from Damian Lillard, he’s the most valuable asset on the roster.
Of course, the rumored target is Ben Simmons. If the Blazers could get him, it would certainly be worth the roll of the dice.
