The Portland Trail Blazers will be interesting to watch at this upcoming trade deadline.
With just under a month before the NBA’s trade deadline, all 30 NBA teams are beginning to race against the clock and reshuffle the deck before riding out the end of the season with their best roster possible.
However, the Portland Trail Blazers at 19-18 are one of the league’s anomalies going into trade season.
By signing several key players to contract extensions this offseason, the Blazers don’t have a ton of wiggle room. They also owe the Chicago Bulls their first-round pick, but it is lottery-protected this offseason, meaning they cannot trade it.
On the most recent episode of The Lowe Post, Zach Lowe and Bobby Marks discuss the Blazers’ current state of affairs.
Marks proposed the idea of trading Hart to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens. The pair weren’t keen on the deal, but said that the trade gives the Blazers another player that can come off the bench and take minutes in a playoff rotation.
The pair also discuss the team’s needs for a backup big man, but don’t offer any potential targets for who Portland could look for in a trade.
You can listen to the episode here, and the Blazers-centric conversation begins around the 46-minute mark.

What does NBA mean by waived?
Waived in the NBA means that a team has officially removed a player from its roster. This can happen for many reasons including salary cap issues or disciplinary action.

A player who was waived within the last three months of the previous season is not eligible to play for the playoffs.

What is the difference in a technical foul from a flagrant offense in the NBA basketball?
A technical foul in NBA refers to any unsportsmanlike behavior. This includes arguing with officials or excessive celebrating. A technical foul gives you one free throw and the opposing team takes possession of the ball.
A flagrant foul refers to a player who makes abusive or violent contact against another player. It results in two free throw attempts for the opposing team and possession of the ball. Flagrant one foul is more severe than Flagrant two. Flagrant one does not cause an ejection and is considered less severe than Flagrant 2.
Unlawful contact between two people on the court is called a personal foul. It is usually called for illegal hand-checking, holding, pushing, or tripping an opponent. Personal fouls may also lead to free throw attempts or possession of the ball by the opposing team. However, unlike technical fouls and flagrant fouls, personal fouls do not necessarily reflect unsportsmanlike behaviour.
In the NBA, all fouls can result in free throw attempts or possession of the ball for the opposing team. The intent behind the foul and the severity and nature of the contact are what distinguish between technical fouls from flagrant and personal fouls.
What is a trade exception in NBA?
In the NBA, there is a trade exception that allows players to be traded away. This exception allows teams and players to be acquired whose salaries are greater than the ones they trade away. This exception can be used multiple times by a team and does not affect their salary cap. Trade exceptions are a valuable way for teams to adjust their rosters without having to shed salaries or change their roster composition during the season if they need to adjust. This allows for teams to compete and avoid situations in which some teams may have an unfair advantage because of their financial situation.
It also helps keep the league financially stable and ensures that teams have the flexibility to make moves without having to worry about being able to afford them. Trade exceptions can be used to help teams win championships and are an essential part in roster construction.
