Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal 

There are some Blazers fans who won’t be happy with this deal. As a result, they would prefer that the Blazers receive more draft capital for Lillard in order to trade him. 

Fair enough. On the other hand, that isn’t typically Portland’s M.O. This small market team is not known for tanking. It may be best for them to try to land a young star in order to avoid this situation in the future. 

As far as Maxey is concerned, he qualifies. It’s safe to say that he has the potential to become one of the best scoring guards in the NBA one day. In addition to that, he’s also one of the players who could keep Portland afloat at this point in time. 

For that matter, so is Tobias Harris. There would be a number of options available to the Blazers in this situation. There is a possibility that they might keep Harris if they play well.
