Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Ben Simmons, G/F Joe Harris, G/F Cam Thomas, 2025 First-Round Pick (PHX via BKN), 2027 First-Round Pick (PHI via BKN), 2028 First-Round Pick (BKN), 2029 First-Round Pick (DAL via BKN), 2030 First-Round Pick (BKN) 

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Damian Lillard 

With that said the dynamic between these two teams is interesting. 

Each is a win-now team that plenty of observers think ought to rebuild. The Blazers had such a rough 2022-23 season that they landed the third overall pick.

Still, they’re expected to move that pick. In fact, some expect the Nets to trade for it.

With that said, all indications are that they won’t include Bridges in an offer. Seemingly, both of these teams want both Lillard and Bridges.

That makes sense for Brooklyn in light of their draft situation. By contrast, Portland has its own picks. They could rebuild if they wanted to. 

Should they?
