The Portland Trail Blazers are 17-16 on the season. A top 10 offense, a bottom 10 defense, and a familiar feeling as a team good enough to be in the mix but not good enough to rise out of the pack.
So what do they do? Is it time to trade Anfernee Simons? Can Portland build a winner around Simons and Damian Lillard first? Is there urgency to do this now? Haven’t we seen this same movie before? We get into every question from every angle. The Blazers need to make a move. It’s about timing and patience and what that looks like for the franchise.
Finally, an update on Gary Payton II and a look ahead to his potential return date on Friday at Golden State.

personally i dont think they need a trade, BUT they DO need more bench depth
I'm ready to wash my hands of GP2. When is Portland going to learn injury prone guys can hurt you. Nassir another huge disappointment.
If they really need to improve they must keep Hart and trade Simons for OG, or i personally like to get Jonathan Isaac and some picks (including bulls 23 1st)..that will make Portland very solid defensively
If you can get OG and get rid of Nurk then we’d setup for success, Nurk is the one player on the roster that doesn’t fit with how the rest can play best. 🤷🏻♂️
Get the most talented 2-way forward 6'8 or taller in trade for Simons.
