    he is 6'3.

    Has a 6'11 wingspan. But do you want him matching up with Kawhi/Lebron?

    That wasn't the point. The need is so much more in the front court than in the backcourt. Sure he has wingspan (which I love) but he is still small and if he has to guard legit SF's and inevitably, switch onto 4's and 5's because we switch everything, he will be at a distinct disadvantage.

    He does some things I really like....but the need is much more so in the front court.

    Maybe (hopefully) that gets addressed in the buyout market. But as of now, the only thing we are a favorite for is the 6'3" and under YMCA League Championship.

    Imagine Trent becomes Jermaine O’Neil and we got Powell as Dale Davis

    More of an insider on accident than our actual insiders.

    I don't get why Toronto traded him - was he demanding out?

    He has a player option and would have left for nothing is likely what they were afraid of.
    Marks thinks he will opt out here as well.

    From what I read he is a UFA and wanting 20+M a year as a free agent this year. They weren't going to be able to afford him, not that the Blazers will either unless other moves are happening.

    Trent isn't a star. He's most likely a solid starter. The guy is too one dimensional. He's just a shooter. He can't create his own shot. He can't drive. He's a spot-up shooter and that's it.

    I woulda rather gave up GTJ for Markkanen or Gordon. I bet Powell leaves.

    We can only carry 13 players for like two weeks so expect another move shortly.

    He likely will leave as Portland can't afford him just like they couldn't afford Trent Jr. Maybe he will fall in love with playing next to Dame and stay for a workable price or at least opt in next season for the 11 mil.

    Are the Blazers still being very active?
