Miscellaneous
The Blazers have traded Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver & two 2nd round picks to the Kings for Trevor Ariza, Caleb Swanigan & Wenyen Gabriel. Then Damian Lillard scored a career high, Blazers and MLK Day record 61 points in an overtime win over the Warriors - all while missing 4 starters due to injury and 2 fill in starters to the pending trade. Nurk had a full on practice and Collins is working his way back too! Should the Blazers still trade Whiteside? Is this finally a turning point for the Blazers?
