The Portland Trail Blazers are entering the new year on a disastrous slide. Who are the trade options that can improve this team before it’s too late?

After a 6th straight loss to the Toronto Raptors at the Moda center Friday night, the Portland Trail Blazers need help after starting the season 13-20. Even though it sounds like a broken record, the Blazers defense has been dreadful. So far through 32 games they rank 30th (last) in the NBA in defense rating (110.7), they rank 18th in allowing points in the pant(16.3), also the Blazers foul a lot, ranking 28th in the league  for personal fouls (22.9).  Something has been wrong with the Blazers all year, and with the New Year coming up, it might be time for some new faces in Rip City.
