Blazers’ Anfernee Simons ‘Appears Open’ to Trade

It’s been a little over a year since the Portland Trail Blazers received a trade request from Damian Lillard, and now they could get another ask from their top-scoring guard.

According to Rose Garden Report’s Sean Highkin, Anfernee Simons could be on his way out of Portland.

“Anfernee Simons’ status is worth keeping an eye on,” Highkin writes. “On draft night, Cronin said the Blazers are ‘committed’ to building around Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, and didn’t mention Simons’ name. Simons also appears open to a move—at his end-of-season exit interview in April, he said he wants ‘the opportunity to win,’ which is very plainly not where the Blazers are right now or will be in the next few years.
