Portland Trail Blazers: A busy 2023 offseason ahead
We re-assess what the Portland Trail Blazers accomplished at the trade deadline and how they set the table for a busy summer.
Obviously, the Portland Trail Blazers winning the Draft Lottery or trading for a superstar like Joel Embiid to pair with Damian Lillard would completely change this franchise overnight. I’m not optimistic about either scenario actually taking place.
Portland Trail Blazers fans should keep an eye on the team trying to cash out their future picks along with Anfernee Simons for a significant upgrade at small forward. A few smaller deals to shore up the backup center and point guard positions are also in the cards.
Cronin will also test the market to see if there is any trade value for Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. Retaining Thybulle and Reddish makes both players more expendable.
