    Item 1 doesn't sound like Olshey has a lot of confidence in Zach at the 4. Maybe it was out of context, but ...

    4 Trades That Would Make The Portland Trail Blazers Favorites To Win The NBA Title

    For the Blazers, a team that has fallen short of their goals the past couple of years, their recent string of misfortune will only pull them further from contention. Another year of mileage, injuries to key players and a competitive Western Conference will prove to be sizeable obstacles this upcoming season.

    With one good move, however, the franchise could become top contenders in the West. These trade deals would be the ones to get them there....

    (DETAILS INSIDE)

    4. Kevin Love
    Trade Package:
    The Blazers Receive: Kevin Love
    The Cavs Receive: Hassan Whiteside, Zach Collins, Anfernee Simons, a future first-round pick and a future second-round pick

    3. Aaron Gordon
    Trade Package:
    The Blazers Receive: Aaron Gordon
    The Magic Receive: Kent Bazemore, Zach Collins, Nassir Little, Skal Labissiere, Anfernee Simons, a future 1st round pick and a future second-round pick

    2. Blake Griffin
    Trade Package:
    The Blazers Receive: Blake Griffin
    The Pistons Receive: Zach Collins, Kent Bazemore, Nassir Little, a first-round pick and a second-round pick

    1. LaMarcus Aldridge & DeMar DeRozan
    Trade Package:
    The Blazers Receive: LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan
    The Spurs Receive: Hassan Whiteside, Kent Bazemore, Skal Labissiere, a 2020 first-round pick, and a 2024 first-round pick

    We don't want a championship, we just want to develop.

    Collins, Labissiere, Simons, Little, and a 1st for Aaron Gordon?! LMAO. Thats hilariously bad. I wouldn't trade Collins for him straight up...

    Except that trade doesnt increase our chances of winning a championship whatsoever.

    Terrible... I might consider Whiteside + 2nd. Even then, that's iffy to me. No way would I offer up Simons, Collins, AND a 1st as well.

    Better, but still really bad. Inclusion of Simons immediately kills it for me. I could consider Baze + Collins + 2nd but that's as much as I would offer. I'd prefer to not include Collins either & just have it be Baze + Little + Skal + 1st

    This is almost OK. Eliminate the 1st pick and I'd consider it.


    This one is the best of the bunch (and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't want anything to do with LMA again). However, I'd prefer to flip DeRozan for someone else. Not sure who that would be.

    I haven't checked the other ones but the Blake Griffin one isn't close to working under the trade rules. As if these weren't dumb enough the author can't even check?

    This trade is intriguing but I doubt SAS does it.

    Dame
    CJ
    DeRozan
    LMA
    Nurk

    That's a legit contender right there. But I don't think there's enough young pieces to make San Antonio want to rebuild. And that's a full rebuild for them.

    Yeah, how could you not be intrigued by that one. You'd have to see the Spurs on screwing it to the California teams. Who the heck to you leave open on that team?
