A month and a half has passed since the NBA trade deadline, and with the dust settled, it is time to look at the fallout, including the Portland Trail Blazers’ own deals. To Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, one deal didn’t pay off in the Blazers’ favor: the trade that sent Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The first deal involving Powell and Robert Covington, however, was a disaster.
Portland sent both to the Los Angeles Clippers for Eric Bledsoe (who hasn’t played after suffering an Achilles injury), Justise Winslow, rookie Keon Johnson and a 2025 second-round pick via the Detroit Pistons.
