Ranking all 15 Portland Trail Blazers players by trade value

Group C: Elite role players
10. Matisse Thybulle
Every contending team is looking to bolster its wing defense to slow down superstars come playoff time. Just look at the recent NBA Finals; Matisse Thybulle, a two-time NBA All-Defensive Second Team member, would have been extremely valuable guarding either Luka Doncic or some combination of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. He could be a potential trade candidate for teams at the 2025 trade deadline.
9. Robert Williams III
Another former NBA All-Defensive Second Team selection is Robert Williams III. His trade value is the most difficult to gauge out of all 15 Blazers players. When healthy, Williams could be closer to a top-five trade asset on the team. However, he still needs to show that he can consistently stay on the court for extended periods. Like Thybulle, the Blazers could explore moving RW3 at the trade deadline when his trade value increases after he (hopefully) puts together a healthy stretch of games.
8. Toumani Camara
Another under-the-radar player on the Blazers' roster is Toumani Camara. Many viewed him as a throw-in piece in the Damian Lillard trade, where the Blazers received both Camara and Deandre Ayton back from the Phoenix Suns. But Camara is proving to be arguably more valuable than Ayton as a 3-and-D forward who is younger and on a better contract.
