Portland Trail Blazers Rumours

27 Jul 2024 03:50:03
Blazers / Clippers

Blazers : Mann, Tucker, 1st round pick

Clippers : Grant

22 Jul 2024 08:46:40
Spurs: J Grant
Por: Collins+H Barnes

22 Jul 2024 11:22:49
Spurs have a great thing going, no way they take on Grant's money.

22 Jul 2024 12:41:09
Grant would fit the system
And he would improve their offense, they can use a scorer that takes the pressure off Wemby.

22 Jul 2024 13:27:27
And Portland says, we can do better.

22 Jul 2024 22:31:33
Portland has less than zero interest in those two players.

23 Jul 2024 14:52:08
Grant gets much from kings. at least a first rounder and huerter and Lyle’s.

20 Jul 2024 02:51:34
Kings : huerter, Lyle's and 2 1sts
Portland : grant

20 Jul 2024 18:42:26
Too steep. The only way Grant brings in 2 firsts is either with very heavy protection or bad money coming back.

21 Jul 2024 02:12:59
Think by definition if they get grant their future first round picks shouldn’t be that high, plus barely up in dollars if get out of huerter and Lyles contract. Would be the trade for the kings to go all in for the next few years.

21 Jul 2024 08:11:00
Grant wont move the needle for the Kings. He doesnt seems to like being the 4th option (he left the Nuggets for Pistons) . Kings should go hard after Markkanen if that's the case.

21 Jul 2024 15:49:30
Impossible to negotiate with ainge. Both grant and Ingram will be easier to get mid season also as ingrams contract rolls off and Portland record deteriorates.

10 Jul 2024 18:46:49
CHI gets DeAndre Ayton

POR gets Nikola Vucevic, POR own lottery protected first and 2 seconds

Chicago adds their center of the future to play alongside their other youth.

Portland gets control of their pucks back, 2 seconds and a contract that can be flipped at the trade deadline.

12 Jul 2024 03:03:25
Eh. The first has basically no value. I’d want a lot more for Ayton than a couple seconds and Vuc. I’d rather just keep him around for that little return.

12 Jul 2024 07:42:27
Without getting that oick back from Chicago they cant trade a first round pick until 2028. This trade frees up their draft pick flexibility and allows Clingan to start now.

12 Jul 2024 15:30:33
Makes no sense for Portland.

28 Jun 2024 01:10:12
Portland - Chicago - Denver - Brooklyn

Portland get Ben Simmons & 1st rd pick from Denver & Chicago
- adds more assets

Henderson
Simons
Sharpe
Avdija
Clingan

Chicago get Ayton, MPJ
- go young

Giddey
White
MPJ
Williams/Buzeli
Ayton

Denver get Vucevic, Cam Johnson
- Vooch as Jokic back would be nasty, Cam is a capable 2-way player

Murray
KCP
Johnson
Gordon
Jokic/Vucevic

Brooklyn get Zach Lavine & Nnaji
- adds a star to sell tickets

Schroder
Lavine
Bogdanovic
Finney-Smith
Claxton

28 Jun 2024 22:10:29
Brooklyn wants to tank for a top 3 pick they’re not worried about selling tickets and taking on a bad salary in lavine
Vucevic in Denver makes no sense.

27 Jun 2024 18:46:08
Portland / Orlando

Portland - Chuma Okeke, Wendell Carter Jr, Joe Ingles (waive) & 1st round pick
- continue the rebuild, trade Carter for more assets

Scoot
Sharpe
Avdija
Carter (trade)
Clingan

Orlando - Ayton, Simons
- get pieces to compete

Suggs
Simons
Wagner
Banchero
Ayton

27 Jun 2024 23:26:32
The value is fine, not sure of Ayton's fit with Banchero though.

28 Jun 2024 03:33:21
Bad for Portland. This is more than a salary dump, its a fire sale! Two starters for three role players (one to waive) and a late first rounder! Throw in another first rounder and either Anthony or Black from the Magic.

30 May 2024 14:01:31
Atlanta sends-Capela (exp),Hunter, Bogdanavic, Okungwu,2nd Rd pick


Portland sends Ayton,Grant, Brogdan (exp)

Gives Atlanta a bigger front line move Brogdan after trade to save on cap space draft Sarr 1st overall. Ayton would work better with the pick & roll with Trae, Murray,Grant, Johnson, Ayton.

Gets Portland out of the tax with smaller contracts to move so they can rebuild around their young talented backcourt faster. I think Hunter & Okungwu would work well with Portland guards the pick & roll that Trae runs does not work well for them.

01 Jun 2024 03:17:17
Absurd trade for Portland could get far better offers for grant and ayton.

01 Jun 2024 03:22:16
For instance if Portland willing to trade Ayton and grant kings would give up huerter, Barnes, Mitchell, Lyles, vezenkov and this years 1 st round pick.

01 Jun 2024 11:23:11
@Hyena 1 I hear you but I don't think Portland makes that type of trade with Sacramento. The Only real value from Sacramento is Sabonis & Fox which I know they aren't moving for Grant & Ayton also this moves puts Sacramento in the heavy tax apron. Secondly it returns Portland 2 guards to a guard heavy team with Scoot Henderson, Afernee Simons, Matisse Thybulle, Malcolm Brogdan. They have no room for 2 more guards. Harrison Barnes does not help them. Hunter & Okungwu would mesh well with their young backcourt. It's only a few teams willing & able to take on 60 million from just 2 players.

01 Jun 2024 14:10:48
To be fair kings should only offer the trade for grant not ayton but your offer regarding hawks offers nothing of any value to Portland. Barnes helps them if loses grant so how about Barnes huerter Lyles and a 1st for grant?

01 Jun 2024 19:12:12
@Hyena1 I think you are overvaluing Grant. He is a 30 yr old 3rd or 4th scorer on a title contender with 4 yr/ 150 million contract owed. Portland will find it hard to move that contract. Rebuilding teams are not carrying a player that age with that type of money. It's maybe 3 teams that would & maybe 5 that could. Sacramento ain't taking on that type of salary for 5 pt bump at that position between Grant & Barnes. Portland will have to take back less than desirable names if they want rebuild that squad before their rookie back court get to their next cont.

02 Jun 2024 01:32:09
I’m a kings fan and would do that trade immediately to get grant without having to give up Murray. Getting out of Barnes and huerter contract for grant would be an ideal fit for kings…. think this trade makes sense for both sides.

12 May 2024 18:47:50
Por - Ingram, Okoro & Daniels
- adds a star young player to grow with what they have

Henderson Brogdon
Sharpe Daniels
Ingram Okoro
Murray Camara
Ayton Williams Reath

Pels - Allen, Simons, Niang
- adds 2 players that perfectly fits their roster

Simons Alvarado
McCollum Hawkins
Murphy Jones
Williamson Niang
Allen Nance

Cle - Grant, Thybulle, 2nd round pick from Pels & Blazers
- adds 2 players that fits better with Mitchell & Garland. Let's Mobley play the 5

Garland Levert Porter
Mitchell Merrill
Thybulle Strus
Grant Morris
Mobley Wade

13 May 2024 10:57:29
I don't hate this but I view Allen as more valuable than Grant so Cleveland is owed value. He may even be more valuable than BI.

I like Bridges going to Sacramento

3 1st and 2 swaps is an overpay, but the Nets can ask a lot for him.

21 Mar 2024 08:46:52

23 Jan 2024 01:50:16

Henderson - Simons

21 Jan 2024 18:17:28
I like the general framework of this trade TBH, seems like the direction that all teams are going in is very reseonable.

14 Jan 2024 14:07:18
Nets: D Murray+ P Mills+ S Bey
Atl: J Grant+ Thybulle
Por: Simmons+ 1rnd pick Phoe 27-29+ 1rnd pick Philly 27

15 Jan 2024 21:07:19
That's awful for the Hawks.

12 Jan 2024 01:27:29
Atlanta/Portland

Atlanta sends Capela,Hunter, Bogdanavic,1st pick

Portland sends

J Grant,Ayton

Upgrade Atl roster
Gives Portland movable contracts as they rebuild around the young backcourt

12 Jan 2024 07:49:42
Why would they trade Ayton?
They can built arround Henderson-sharpe-Camara-Ayton and R williams.

12 Jan 2024 11:36:31
@Gasupo great question. Not too familiar with the direction that the blazers wanted to go but I thought Moses Brown and R Williams was their future at center. I could definitely see Ayton as their future though.

05 Jan 2024 20:42:58
LAL gets Derozen, Williams, Carter, POR 1st and 2 seconds

CHI gets: LeBron James and Reddish

Bulls

Cleveland won't trade Mobley, and if they did they'd get more.

30 Dec 2023 16:11:21
Yup that offer for Mobley can be easily beaten by the Thunder or Spurs.

18 Dec 2023 15:18:38

17 Dec 2023 06:29:40
Hornets - Sixers - Blazers

Hornets : J Grant, F Korkmaz
Why: players doesnt normally sign in Charlotte during offseason, so they trade for a player who can help Lamelo build atleast a playoff contender

Blazers : M Morris, K Martin, J Bouknight, 1st round pick from Sixers with top 18 protection, 1st round pick Charlotte top 8 protected, pick swap from Charlotte in 2026
Why : gain assets for the rebuild, they can use Morris to gain more at the deadline
