Jackson Caudell and Rohan Raman of Sports Illustrated recently proposed a blockbuster three-team trade involving the Portland Trail Blazers, headlined by star guard LaMelo Ball heading to Rip City. Here are the details of that mock proposal:
*The draft capital Charlotte receives includes an unprotected 2028 first-round pick (from POR, via ORL), an unprotected 2029 first-round pick (via POR), a top-five protected 2031 first-round pick (via POR), and a 2031 second-round pick (via ATL)
LaMelo Ball should be on the Trail Blazers' radar
Earlier this summer, Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes named one ambitious trade target for every NBA team.
