December 15 is the date that NBA fans must circle on their calendars, as it's when trade restrictions on offseason signings are lifted. That should be significant for the Portland Trail Blazers, who have a fatal roster flaw that is long overdue for addressing: their horrific shooting.
For Portland, the two players eligible to be traded next month are Damian Lillard (can veto) and Blake Wesley. But more importantly, one sharpshooting option available on that date who makes perfect sense to target is Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard.

The Hawks wisely added Kennard to their roster this summer on a one-year, $11 million deal.
