The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Toumani Camara and Deandre Ayton from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson, which was part of the blockbuster Damian Lillard trade. At first, this trade essentially was a swap of two starting-caliber centers that could benefit from a change of scenery. In hindsight, it's the Toumani Camara trade.
With Nurkic's value rapidly declining and Portland's Ayton experiment thankfully over, the Blazers were able to upgrade their roster without any strings attached. No dead money after this season, no future draft capital sacrificed, no problematic contracts or personalities -- all while landing a cornerstone player in Camara who perfectly fits their rebuilding timeline and roster needs.
