Portland Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers are one piece away from competing. That piece could be Draymond Green; however, would they be open to trading Zach Collins, who is finally on the verge of breaking out, as well as Aminu?

Aminu is a solid wing defender and would help the Warriors defense. Although he isn’t half the offensive playmaking that Green is, the Warriors don’t truly need playmaking on their dynamic offense with two superstar talents.

The Blazers already have a solid defense, but with Green, Nurkic, Lillard and McCollum, they could take both sides of the ball to the next level. As the tension in Portland has continued to increase, this team needs to find a star to take them to the next level.

They may not win the title with Green on their side, but they certainly won’t be swept in the first round again. This is the play for Portland, and they should make it happen. Of all these trades, this is my favorite all-around.

Warriors get youth, a defensive-minded forward and a pick. Blazers get a chance to truly compete. It’s a win-win.
