Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Giannis Antetokoumnpo
Many would argue that Giannis is the best player in the NBA. With that in mind, there’s another international superstar with a long but recognizable name coming through the pipelines.
Wembanyama. You know the name. If you don’t, get familiar. This is the most anticipated NBA prospect since LeBron James.
The Portland Trail Blazers could draft him. This team is in the lottery. If they jump to the first overall spot, this deal won’t be realistic.
As a matter of fact, the Blazers probably won’t trade Victor Wembanyama for Antetokoumnpo straight up – even if were feasible financially.

Let’s assume that Portland doesn’t get the first overall pick. They could be positioned to be best suited for a blockbuster trade as opposed to adding another young player.
Is this a good move for them?
