The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the NBA teams rumored to be making moves before the February 10 trade deadline. Interim General Manager Joe Cronin is, no doubt, working as we speak, trying to point the franchise in the right direction. But if a trade is the answer, in order to secure players and picks that will turn the team's fortunes around, the Blazers have to part with something valuable.
The potential names we’ve heard in trade rumors so far aren’t surprising: Robert Covington, Jusuf Nurkic, CJ McCollum, Norman Powell and Larry Nance Jr. By dangling these assets, Cronin might be able to procure decent enough pieces to help better balance this roster.
