Three Teams That Can Realistically Trade for Lauri Markkanen – Page 4 of 4

Portland Trail Blazers

Unlike the Heat and the Pistons, the Portland Trail Blazers do not seem to have an untouchable player on their roster. Toumani Camara has proven to be a great player, but he is a great role player at best.

The Blazers have a couple of salaries they can throw in a deal, and some juicy future draft picks, like 2028 and 2030 swap rights with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The moves they made in the summer suggest Portland wants to get back to the playoffs. But is it time to cash in their chips and upgrade with a player that doesn’t fit the timeline of their young guys? That is a question for the Blazers management to answer.
