Portland Trail Blazers Receive: G Kyrie Irving, F Joe Harris

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Damian Lillard

Is there more of a blockbuster or surprise trade than this? The Brooklyn Nets and Trail Blazers would swap point guards, with Joe Harris also going to Portland.

The Trail Blazers likely will never be in a position to make a trade involving Lillard unless he were to express a desire for a change of scenery. It’s difficult to think of a better situation than to play with Kevin Durant if he were to ever do so.

The Trail Blazers will be focused on retaining Anfernee Simons in the offseason, but landing Kyrie Irving would bring an intriguing one-two punch in the backcourt alongside him. It would be a lateral move, but the team having flexibility this offseason to recruit could perhaps land another talent to join them.

Joe Harris struggled with injuries this season but continues to be one of the best shooters in the league when on the floor. He should be ready for the start of next season, too.
