Holmgren’s Playoff Struggles Spark Trade Rumors

Chet Holmgren’s playoff collapse—just 4 points in Game 7—has fans demanding a trade, but is it justified? Despite his All-NBA honors, Holmgren vanished offensively when it mattered most, especially with Jalen Williams sidelined. Blame? Maybe Victor Wembanyama’s presence. While OKC’s depth helped all season, they lacked a true scorer in crunch time. Marc Stein says no rush to move him, but Portland sees an opportunity: a young core, defensive identity, and a versatile big man who could thrive at four or five. With Holmgren’s salary skyrocketing next year and his playoff struggles fresh, now might be the perfect window for Portland to strike while the league hesitates.
