Lowe: Collins key in any Hayward or Gordon trade

ESPN’s Zach Lowe and Bobby Marks have laid out a path for Portland Trail Blazers President of Bastball Operations Neil Olshey to make a win-now move for the 2020-21 season.

The quality and value of Portland’s assets were raised on today’s Lowe Post podcast, as the pair speculated on the future of Boston Celtics wing Gordon Hayward who holds a $34 million player option next season.

Lowe initially highlighted potential Hayward packages involving the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers but said he “really liked” a possible pairing with Portland — as long as there was enough interest in Zach Collins outside of Oregon.
