Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
Another reason why the Blazers have slipped under the radar is that they have consistently been mediocre as a team.
There is no exception to this rule this season. The Blazers, on the other hand, have actually been trending downward in recent years. During this time, they have gone from being plucky and competitive to battling to keep themselves out of the bottom part of the league standings.
It’s time to take the plunge. A rebuilding process is long overdue for the Blazers. All told, flipping Lillard for Thomas and four first-round picks is a good way for them to get off on the right foot.
At the same time, the acquisition of Simmons is of interest here. As a result, some will view him as a negative asset – he is purely here to make the money work in their eyes.

While at the same time, a rebuilding team would be able to resurrect the former Defensive Player of the Year candidate and All-Star for an intriguing reclamation project.
Is it fair for the Nets to let the Blazers attempt to reclaim him?
