Would this trade make sense for the Portland Trail Blazers?
There comes a time when a team has to look at their situation and decide if it is time to go in a different direction. The Portland Trail Blazers have given their core plenty of time but they have been unable to get it done.
Could the Trail Blazers finally decide to blow it up a bit and make a change? If possible, Portland would like to keep Lillard around as long as possible.
The Trail Blazers drafted him and watched him turn into one of the best players in the league. This is especially true in recent years and he remains a player to build around.
McCollum seems like the No. 1 trade piece on the team because of his value and current status. Portland would be able to get some younger players to build for the future while remaining a win-now team of the Western Conference.
