Ranking all 15 Portland Trail Blazers players by trade value
By Reese Kunz
The Portland Trail Blazers may lack a headliner superstar but still have multiple players that would net a solid return of assets were they ever to be traded. From established starters such as Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons, who have been frequently mentioned in trade rumors, to promising young talents like former top-ten picks Donovan Clingan, Scoot Henderson, and Shaedon Sharpe—who Portland may consider untouchable—here’s how all 15 Blazers players stack up heading into the 2024-25 season.
Group D: The guys no one will call about
15. Dalano Banton
Dalano Banton had a productive 30-game stretch with the Blazers. Still, Portland's acquisition of him and cash considerations from the Celtics in exchange for a heavily protected second-round pick that is unlikely to convey reflects his trade value around the league.
14. Kris Murray
Kris Murray's disappointing rookie season, highlighted by his 26.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc, hindered his trade value. But he still has first-round pedigree and could have some potential suitors if Portland openly made him available.
13. Duop Reath
Duop Reath is an ideal backup center. His ability to stretch the floor, shooting 35.9 percent from three in his rookie season, offers teams a valuable dimension in their lineup. Big men who can shoot, rebound, and protect the paint will always have value in today's NBA.
12. Jabari Walker
Jabari Walker is one of the most underrated players on Portland's roster and took a massive leap in his second season, increasing his scoring from 3.9 to 8.9 points per game. He could be higher on this list if he can take that next step in his development and improve his three-point shooting next season (29.5 percent last year).
11. Rayan Rupert
Another second-round gem, Rayan Rupert, gets the nod over Walker. He's two years younger (20), shot 35.9 percent from three his rookie season, and possesses a higher ceiling as a two-way wing with a unique offensive skill set as a playmaking forward.
