Easily one of Neil Olshey's stupidest trades, which is saying something since he's had a lot of them. Covington was nice, but he was never a defensive stopper nor a defensive anchor, and he certainly wasn't worth two first round picks.
What's even funnier is the Blazers current GM (Joe Cronin) dumped Covington and Powell onto the Clippers for basically nothing in return, even though both of them were having good seasons and could each bring back a first round pick at least. Lawrence Frank and Jerry West completely ripped him off, and now he has less assets to work with than before.
Just absolute amateur hour from two terrible GMs.
RoCo is what current Portland fans think OG is lol.
