Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza reportedly won’t last very much longer with the team as he’s seen as a player that will likely be moved after the Dec. 15 deadline (the date when this summer’s free-agent signings can be traded). Could the Portland Trail Blazers get in on a buy-low candidate like Ariza, who fills a desperate need on the wing?
Dan Favale of Bleacher Report thinks so, suggesting a trade of Ariza for Moe Harkless, Wade Baldwin IV and a 2021 second-round pick:
Certain teams know they won’t have first dibs on him following a buyout, and capped-out squads will see value in acquiring his non-Bird rights coming off a $15 million payday.
