Portland Dallas Trade Window Opens | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland’s roster is stacked at point guard and center but dangerously thin at forward—only Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara ahead of the 2026-27 season. With one spot left, a trade makes more sense than a gamble. Dallas, similarly in need of guard depth to back up Kyrie Irving, just added Zaccharie Risacher—a sharp-shooting forward acquired cheaply in a three-team deal. Given Schmitz’s ties to Portland (he was their former assistant GM), this move could spark a deal. Risacher’s 36% shooting from deep makes him a steal, and Naji Marshall is also a low-cost option. P.J. Washington, though pricier and longer-term, could fit Portland’s young core. The timing is ripe for a win-win trade between two teams with complementary needs.
