I find it very intriguing to trace how assets get to where they are. Here is how the current assets got to Portland based on Olshey's moves not preexisting moves prior to Neil getting to Portland. Individual paths are separated by space, moves between start point and current status not shown. Overall price is after hyphen Lillard <- drafted with existing pick from prior trade McCollum <- drafted with Blazers pick Harkless <- 2020 2nd round pick (top 55 protected) Vonleh <- Nic Batum Nurkic <- Steve Blake (Signed as FA), 2015 1st (#23), 2018 2nd Connaughton <- Steve Blake (Signed as FA), 2015 1st (#23), 2018 2nd 2017 1st (Mem) <- Steve Blake (Signed as FA), 2015 1st (#23), 2018 2nd Crabbe <- 2015 2nd, 2016 2nd Turner <- Signed as FA Aminu <- Signed as FA Davis <- Signed as FA Leonard <- drafted with Blazers pick Layman <- 2019 2nd, Cash Considerations Napier <- Cash Considerations Ezeli <- Signed as FA Quarteman <- Signed as FA 2017 1st (Cle) <- 2016 2nd, eat Varejao contract So there ya go that's how our current team came to be here.
