Blazers long term move in play, Trade triggered for Larry Nance Jr

Friday morning begins with a surprise from the Portland Trail Blazers who finally made their move on Larry Nance, Jr. The F-C’s ability to raise the floor of the team was made possible by the Portland Trail Blazers by swinging Derrick Jones, Jr., a heavily-protected first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls and Lauri Markkanen to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a high-end deal.

With considerations like trade benefit to Portland, improvement in its West position, Nance’s compatibility, the worthiness of the additional first-round pick inclusion in the trade, and Nance, Jr.’s help the Blazers in the arguments, the trade is the hot topic in the NBA news bulletin. Other Blazers’ moves include filling the 14th roster spot and evaluation of President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey’s offseason work.
