I don't understand this one from Portland. Did they acquire Thybulle due to his size versus Josh Hart? They essentially are very similar players. I feel like they could've offered a pick and got another team to add a player if Reddish was their target player in a trade.

Did POR really just acquire another player over 6' 3"... Say it isn't so!

They'll probably trade Cam, Thybulle plus a pick for VanVleet before the deadline. :lol:

I don't understand your question. It looks like the Blazers got Reddish, Thybulle and a 1st for Hart and some 2nds. Hart was going to become a FA next summer so it's doubtful POR could have kept him. It's looking like they've done pretty well so far.

This deal makes more sense if Hart is going to become a free agent soon.

He will be as soon as he doesn't opt in this summer
