Blazers News: Young Star Pushing Likelihood of Two Veterans Being Traded

The Portland standout has truly emerged.

The rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers are understandably one of the top clubs floated as a potential trade partner for many NBA rivals, with the league's February 6 trade deadline fast approaching.writes that the Trail Blazers' focus on its youth movement may make some of its older players on mid-sized contracts far more expendable.
