Russ has been rumored to be traded to the Nuggets and Portland is actively trying to shop Grant for 2 firsts.

Blazers 2024-25 rotation:

PG: Anfernee Simons

SG: Shaedon Sharpe

SF: Toumani Camara

PF: Deni Avdija

C: Deandre Ayton

Scoot - Walker - Clingan - Thybulle - Powell

I think the Blazers try to move Timelord and Grant before the season starts but keep Ayton. With Clingan, Portland could run a similar game plan that Minnesota have run throughout the year with multiple Centers. Having Ayton and Clingan on the floor together amplifies their scoring and defensive abilities and I think they will compliment each other on the court.

Whilst the trade appears as unsuccessful on the Trade Machine, it would be allowed as Denver would have about $4m extra cap after trading Reggie Jackson for 3 second rd picks.

Thoughts on this deal??
