The Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz should swap two of their under-utilized wings. That was the suggestion from The Ringer this morning as they kicked off the month of December with a slate of NBA Trade proposals. Staff writer Jonathan Tjarks has Portland small forward Maurice Harkless heading to Utah in exchange for reserve shooting guard Alec Burks.
A good old-fashioned challenge trade for two guys who could use fresh starts. Harkless has been benched in Portland, and he may fall out of the rotation entirely now that Al-Farouq Aminu has returned.
