Portland Trail Blazers Rumours

08 Jan 2025 08:09:00
SAC - CHA - POR

Sacramento receives: Grant, Martin, Richards

Charlotte receives: Huerter

Portland receives: DeRozan

SAC depth:
Fox / Carter / McLaughlin
Monk / Ellis / Jones
Grant / Martin / McDermott
Murray / Lyles / Crowder
Sabonis / Richards / Len

CHA depth:
Ball / Mann / Micic / Smith
Green / Huerter / Curry
Miller / Jeffries
Bridges / G. Williams / Salaun
M. Williams / Diabate

POR depth:
Simons / Henderson / Banton
Sharpe / Thybulle / Rupert
DeRozan / Avdija
Camara / Murray / Walker
Ayton / Clingan / Williams / Reath

The Kings move Huerter to round out their bench and save enough money to absorb Grant's salary and barely avoid the luxury tax. Grant's ability to be a threat to shoot / drive from the perimeter should create more of an equal opportunity offense, and he is an improvement on defense over DeRozan.

The Hornets create a solid 3-man rotation at SG / SF with Miller, Green, and Huerter. They open up a roster spot for subsequent moves.

The Blazers move Grant's 4yr/$132m (safe to assume he picks up the player option) remaining contract for DeRozan's 3yr/$74m (3rd year partially guaranteed / $58m total guaranteed). With limited suitors for Grant, they may be willing to prioritize future flexibility first. DeRozan could have a positive impact on the young roster, or they could flip him in another trade.

Kings trade huerter Lyle's and a 1st round
Blazers trade jerami grant

Saves blazers some money and get first round pick
Kings obviously need a big wing like grant

29 Dec 2024 00:40:55
Kings - Blazers

Kings get Deandre Ayton, Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray & 2 1st round picks + pick swap

Blazers get Domantas Sabonis

Kings - Magic

Kings get Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac & 3 1st round picks

Magic get DeAaron Fox

Kings - Timberwolves

Kings get Donte Divincenzo, fillers & 1st round pick

Timberwolves get Malik Monk

29 Dec 2024 09:38:29
Why would Portland want Sabonis? They're in a rebuilt.
They better keep Henderson and the picks.

29 Dec 2024 14:07:50
You might get Orlando to give up Cole Anthony, Isaac, and draft picks for Fox, but not Suggs. Suggs has been so vital for them with Wagner and Banchero out with injuries.

01 Jan 2025 20:18:32
I’d rather have Donte on his contract straight up, never mind the pick.

23 Dec 2024 14:07:12
Portland-Brooklyn-Pelicans

Portland get: Ben Simmons (exp) & 1st round pick Brooklyn
- get a huge expiring money and open up more playing time for Clingan

Brooklyn get: Zion Williamson & Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
- can afford to sit him whole season

Pelicans get: Deandre Ayton & Cam Thomas
- get 2 young talented pieces who are relatively more healthy. Tired of Zion and I really dont care about his value

Pelicans should trade CJ and Ingram elsewhere and let Cam be their guy

Murray
Thomas
Herb
Murphy
Ayton

23 Dec 2024 19:54:05
I really like this trade, well done.

21 Dec 2024 18:43:43
Kings trade huerter, Lyles, 2026 1st 2028 1st
Blazers trade jerami grant

Time for kings to slide all their chips in and give it a shot with fox sabonis Derozan Murray grant and monk

21 Dec 2024 21:25:58
Significant overpay imo. I think the Kings need a Center more than anything.

De'Andre Ayton would be a good fit in Sac.

21 Dec 2024 21:46:39
Yep, Grant not fetching that.

22 Dec 2024 14:22:37
Can’t play a center next to sabonis, pacers showed that doesn’t work. May be N OVERPAYMENT but kings have to come away w either grant kuzma finney-smith and asap or it’s going to unravel for them.

18 Dec 2024 18:21:53
Portland firesale

Portland-Los Angeles Lakers

Portland receives: DAngelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, 1st round pick, 1st round pick swap

Los Angeles receive: Deandre Ayton

Portland-Sacramento

Portland receives: Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, 1st round pick & 2nd round pick

Sacramento receives: Jerami Grant

Portland - Brooklyn

Portland receives: Ben Simmons (exp) & 1st round pick

Brooklyn receives: Anfernee Simons, Mattise Thybule & 3 2nds

19 Dec 2024 12:53:22
This is believable to all trades but the Brooklyn trade you are giving up your best player plus Mattise thybule and 3 2nds round picks for someone as bad as Ben Simmons and 1 1st round pick from Brooklyn you would need Simmons and 3 1st round picks to get that trade and it is not the best you can get I would try trading that same trade but instead try to invest in a Cameron Johnson trade or Brooklyn is not worth the trade.

19 Dec 2024 22:53:13
Yeah, I’d rather just keep Simons. But if the other two are on the table, I’d take them in a heartbeat if I’m Portland.

I might take the Ayton deal without picks.

21 Dec 2024 16:18:54
Lakers taking on too much salary.

16 Dec 2024 19:45:21
NO gets Vucevic, Ball (expiring) and POR pick

CHI gets Zion Williamson

NO gets a quality center, a Lonzo try out and they get from under the Zion nightmare

CHI can shut Zion down for the season in order to rest him and further the tank to stay in the lottery and not have to. trade Lavine. Plus it allows their young bigs to develop in real time.

07 Dec 2024 06:36:08
Lakers - lavine, vooch

Bulls- ayton, russell, christie

Portland- simmons (exp), traore, 1st from lakers, pick swap from lakers, 2 2nds from bulls

22 Nov 2024 17:31:17
Trade here y’all between the Bulls and Blazers

Bulls - Jerami Grant, Robert Williams III, and a second rounder

Blazers - Zach LaVine

Now here me out, we see how Zach does on a team of his own, Jerami get a better team, and Williams a starting forward spot next to Vuc.

22 Nov 2024 17:42:17
Would love this one for the bulls the question is if blazers would go in that direction

22 Nov 2024 17:52:43
So the Blazers take on a bad contract without any compensation?

10 Nov 2024 06:15:51
A question in my mind, is it time for the Pelicans to part ways with Zion Williamson? Multiple seasons are being ruined by his health issues. They have a competitive roster, they just need health consistencies. Once Murray is back, they can still compete. One trade i'm thinking.

Portland - New Orleans

Portland receive : Zion Williamson, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
- they are not competing right so they can manage his health now and compete later once their young boys are ready to compete as well

New Orleans receive : Jerami Grant, Robert Williams III
- they get Grant who is relatively healthy his career. While getting an injury prone Williams, they can use him as a starting center and will be a good addition if they can reach the playoffs

Now the question is who will give compensation to other team? You can add yourself but this is the bone.


Portland future:

Scoot Henderson
Anfernee Simons
Shaedon Sharpe
Deni Avdija
Zion Williamson
Deandre Ayton
Donovan Clingan
Kris Murray
Tomani Camara

New Orleans:

Dejounte Murray
CJ McCollum
Brandon Ingram
Jerami Grant
Robert Williams III

Bench:
Jose Alvarado
Jordan Hawkins
BJ Boston
Trey Murphy
Herb Jones
Yves Missi
Daniel Theis

10 Nov 2024 17:14:24
Not near enough.

07 Nov 2024 10:09:31
Warriors: Vucevic+ 1rnd pick Portland 25( protected 1-14) (Warriors receive the bulls pick 28, if Portland hasn't conveyed a first by 28)

PF:Kuminga/P williams
SF:Craig/duarte
SG:Giddey/Dosunmu
PG:White:Payton

07 Nov 2024 12:42:40
Naah i think the Warriors are more than happy with what they have now no need to change and trade away kuminga if they are not getting a star in return.

28 Oct 2024 08:11:53
Heat:K Leonard

Clippers: J Grant+T Herro

Portland: Tucker+D robinson+Larson+ 1rnd pick Heat 2029

21 Oct 2024 00:11:39
CHA - LAC - POR - MIA

CHA: Tyler Herro
- gets a dynamic SG to pair with Ball & Miller

Ball
Herro
Miller
Bridges
Williams

LAC: Jerami Grant, Duncan Robinson, 1st round pick & swap with MIA
- gives James Harden a new running mate instead of just waiting for Kawhi to have any interest again

Harden
Mann
Jones Jr
Grant
Zubac

POR: Grant Williams, Josh Green, 1st round pick MIA & CHA
- get assets for Grant

Henderson
Simons
Sharpe
Avdija
Ayton

MIA: Kawhi Leonard
- the only logical place for Kawhi that I can think of right now. Wont give much though

Rozier
Butler
Leonard
Jovic
Adebayo

21 Oct 2024 12:07:12
Without looking at if the money works, I actually like this quite a bit. I've been thinking about Kawhi to Miami for a while now.

21 Oct 2024 13:59:59
Hornets give up two rotation guys and a first for Herro? Wow so ball Herro defense will work?

25 Oct 2024 13:35:58
That charlotte pick should be lottery protected.

24 Sep 2024 08:27:07
San Antonio - Portland - Brooklyn

Out of the box deal

San Antonio - Deandre Ayton, 2nd round pick Brooklyn
- Chris Paul made Ayton looks like a top 8 center. He could be a great fit alongside Wemby too as Wemby loves playing outside the paint

Paul - Jones
Vassell - Castle
Barnes - Johnson
Wembanyama - Branham
Ayton - Mamukelashvili

Portland - Ben Simmons, (big expiring contract), Julian Champagnie, 1st round pick from Bkn lottery protected, 1st round pick San Antonio, pick swap San Antonio
- saves money, get assets

Brooklyn - Jeremy Sochan, Zach Collins, Mattisse Thybulle (can be traded again) + salary fillers from Spurs
- gets a young guy they can develop with the team

03 Sep 2024 23:26:27
Cleveland receives: Brandon Ingram, Dalano Banton and Duop Reath
New Orleans receives: De'Andre Ayton and 2030 swap via Cavs
Portland receives: Okoro (S&T), LeVert, Strus and 2031 unprotected first

Why?
Cleveland finally gets their SF.
New Orleans gets their big man.
Portland gets a pretty decent package.

PG: Darius Garland / Craig Porter Jr. / Ty Jerome
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Sam Merrill / Dalano Banton
SF: Brandon Ingram / Jaylon Tyson
PF: Evan Mobley / Dean Wade / Georges Niang
C: Jarrett Allen / Duop Reath
Coach: Kenny Atkinson.

04 Sep 2024 01:48:21
Pels should get a pick instead of swap but other than that I’m in.

04 Sep 2024 17:22:09
I don't think Cleveland wants Brandon Ingram. I think instead of trying to add a fifth starter to that team, it's more important to find out if they're current pieces fit together.

24 Aug 2024 18:29:24
POR - SA - SAC

Portland receives: Johnson, Jones, Ellis

San Antonio receives: Simons, Walker

Sacramento receives: Camara

DeRozan / Camara / McDaniels
Murray / Lyles

27 Aug 2024 03:16:53
I don’t think I like any of this for Portland. I’d need at least two firsts. Even then, I don’t think I’d give up Camara for Ellis and a first.

30 Aug 2024 07:02:44
Why would portland do this?

23 Aug 2024 01:23:23

Portland takes offers for Grant.

Since Mavs have the 16M TE there may be possibilities starting 04. of October, when Marshall will be eligable to become traded:

11 Kleber
8.5 Marshall
4 Powell
3 Exum
2.8 Prosper
+ 1st pick (top 10 protected)
29.3m

Grant 29.7m

16m TE to fill with players

01 Aug 2024 12:28:08
How will Utah have all of those roster spots available?

01 Aug 2024 18:31:36
You send some cheap players back from PORTLAND, that Mavs can take with their TE? And you may send some players to other Teams - that are good backups.

01 Aug 2024 22:50:45
Sounds like an awful lot of maneuvering for a player like that. I'm surprised you'd even want him on that contract.

02 Aug 2024 15:37:49
You add Thompson, Grand, Dinwiddie to tha Mavs! Perfect complement players that makes the Team even better. What would have better Mavs achieved this year? : ) Having Dinwiddie & Grant from the bench?

27 Jul 2024 03:50:03
Blazers / Clippers

Blazers : Mann, Tucker, 1st round pick

Clippers : Grant
