Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons is one of the top headliners on the trade block for the second half of the offseason.
Those flames were fanned further when Oregonian reporter Aaron Fentress said the team had a goal of trading him or Jerami Grant by the start of the season.
Bleacher Report writer Zach Buckley believes that Simons should be traded sometime before the season or the trade deadline at the very latest.
Simons’ trade market should be robust. He is established enough to attract win-right-now teams and young enough (turned 25 in June) to appeal to rebuilders with relatively short runways.
