Blazers Trade Ja Morant, Target Gordon | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland just pulled off a jaw-dropping trade, sending Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to Memphis for Ja Morant — a move that’s sending shockwaves through the league. With Dame, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson already in the backcourt, adding Morant feels like a bold gamble, but maybe just the first step in a bigger plan to land Jaylen Brown. The Celtics might have preferred Grant, but Portland’s pushing forward, possibly trading Scoot or Shaedon Sharpe to make room. Meanwhile, Denver’s looking to overhaul its roster post-playoff exit, with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon on the block — and Brown reportedly in play. If Portland can’t get Brown, Gordon could be the next target: a proven winner with injury concerns, but the perfect complement to Lillard and Morant. A deal sending Scoot and Shaedon to Denver for Gordon? It’s risky, but for a team racing to contend, it might just be worth it.
