Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F Andrew Wiggins, C James Wiseman, G Jordan Poole
Golden State Warriors Receive: G Damian Lillard

Bear in mind that the entire last era of Blazers basketball was defined by a similarly small backcourt. That diminutive size always felt like it limited Lillard and C.J. McCollum’s ceiling as a duo.
