Blazers caught sleeping as perfect solution to shooting problem lands elsewhere

This is now the third consecutive season that the Portland Trail Blazers have ranked in the bottom five in three-point efficiency. Hopefully, Blazers general manager Joe Cronin addresses this glaring roster flaw by the Feb. 5 trade deadline. Portland wants to get back to the postseason, but it is fighting an uphill battle until that major problem is solved.

Unfortunately, their options for available sharpshooters are already dwindling. One trade target who made perfect sense was Washington Wizards wing Corey Kispert. That's now officially off the table. Kispert and CJ McCollum will be heading to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for star guard Trae Young, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
