The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off a first-round exit at the hands of the NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers. What trades could they make with every NBA team this offseason to push the team into title contention?

After an appearance in the Western Conference Finals in 2019, the Portland Trail Blazers had high hopes to improve on that playoff run in 2020. But due to a combination of bad luck and injuries, the Portland Trail Blazers barely snuck into the playoffs as the 8th seed.

As things stand, it’s becoming abundantly clear that moves need to be made in order for the Portland Trail Blazers to compete with teams such as the Lakers and the Bucks. Improvement needs to be made especially on the defensive end, where the Blazers ranked as one of the worst teams in basketball last season.

This article discusses possible trades Portland can make with every NBA team. These trades come in all shapes and sizes. Not all of them are monumental moves for star players but all of them in theory will make the Portland Trail Blazers a better basketball team.
