Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
In fact, this is a generally pivotal offseason for the Blazers. If this is the only move they make, they’ve erred. After all, Grant is one of the top offensive options on this Blazers team.
If they simply flipped him for a defensive big like Allen, they’d be creating one problem in the process of solving another. With that said, the Blazers have been linked to some starrier wings.
If they made a move for a player like Pascal Siakam or Mikal Bridges this summer, suddenly, this is an interesting move. They have a prime draft asset to use in this year’s draft, too.
After all, with the addition of another star wing, Grant becomes expendable. Getting one of the better defensive big men in the NBA would make them a more balanced team.
