Why Bruce Brown and Jae Crowder would fit in Portland.

In my opinion, Bruce Brown and Jae Crowder would both be great additions to the Portland Trail Blazers. Bruce Brown would bring a strong defensive presence to the team, while also being able to contribute offensively. He's a versatile player who can play multiple positions and would give the Blazers some much-needed depth in the backcourt.

Jae Crowder, on the other hand, is a proven veteran who has playoff experience and could provide some leadership to a relatively young Blazers team. He's a solid defender and a capable shooter from beyond the arc, which would complement the Blazers' star duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum nicely. Overall, I think both Brown and Crowder would be valuable assets to the Blazers and could help the team make a deep playoff run.

———————————————

Why Brook Lopez would fit in Portland.

Brook Lopez would be a great addition to the Portland Trail Blazers. He is a skilled center who can score from both inside and outside the paint. His ability to stretch the floor with his shooting would open up space for Damian Lillard to operate. Lopez is also a solid defender and rebounder, which would help the Blazers improve their overall team defense. With his experience and leadership, he would be a valuable asset to the team both on and off the court. Overall, Lopez would bring a much-needed boost to the Blazers' frontcourt and help them compete for a championship.

———————————————

Blazers Ideal Starting Lineup:

Dame, JB, Brandon Miller, Jarred Vanderbilt, Brook Lopez

———————————————

Backup Five:

Shaedon Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle, and Cam Reddish share the same amount of minutes, Bruce Brown, Jae Crowder, Tristan Thompson
