Here are 5 players the Blazers should trade for:

#1: Nikola Vucevic

Nikola Vucevic is a 7ft center and would fill some holes. He would instantly become the team’s best rebounder (10.9 a game) and would be another decent scoring option (12.9 a game). The Magic have a lot of big man and there is no way they plan to keep them all. The Magic need some young talent on the wing. The Blazers could offer Allen Crabbe and the first round pick from Cleveland for Nikola Vucevic. The Blazers like to run the pick and roll with Dame and CJ. Vucevic has a good touch on his shoot and his presence on the court would open up the floor. If the shots aren’t falling for the Blazers, you can throw the ball down low to him for a bucket.  There is a lack of skilled post players on this team and Vucevic would be a nice add.
