The Portland Trail Blazers might be more active in the 2025 NBA trade market than they were in 2024. They made just one significant deal last year, sending point guard Malcolm Brogdon and a 2029 first-round pick to the Washington Wizards for forward Deni Avdija.
Avdija had a wonderful first season in Portland. He became the feel-good story of an otherwise-pedestrian 36-win campaign, delighting crowds with his defense, footspeed, and nifty passing.
Given that, is there any way the Blazers would consider moving him? That question is at the center of today’s hot-topical Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
