Portland Trail Blazers

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Anfernee Simons, C Jusuf Nurkic, 2023 First-Round Pick (No. 3 – POR) 
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Anthony Davis 

Meanwhile, the Lakers aren’t the only team that could make major changes this summer. 

The Blazers are widely expected to shop the third overall pick. Of course, it’s been reported that they’ll seek an elite small forward in exchange for that asset. How married are they to that vision? 

We think they should keep an open mind. If the idea is to support Lillard with a two-way co-star, they should entertain an elite two-way big if one hits the trade market. That’s exactly what they’re acquiring here in Davis.

Meanwhile, this provides the Lakers with a fresh start. Simons has star potential, and they’ll be selecting one of Brandon Miller, Amen Thompson or Scoot Henderson here. With that said, the Lakers are a bit light on draft capital to start a rebuild with. 

This next deal aims to rectify that issue.
