Next week’s NBA Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching and the Trail Blazers are expected to be active participants in the process before March 25. Earlier this week, Yahoo Sports NBA analyst Keith Smith delivered a league-wide preview of the teams that figure to be buyers, sellers, or land somewhere in between.
Smith included the Blazers inside a long list of potential buyers. In terms of the assets that could be on the table for Portland, Smith listed Rodney Hood and Zach Collins.
Portland has gone through a lot injury-wise, but sits just a couple games off the pace for homecourt advantage in the Western Conference playoffs.
