Grading a mock trade proposal where the Portland Trail Blazers send guard Anfernee Simons to another team in the Western Conference.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups announced before Sunday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls that guard Shaedon Sharpe was removed from the starting lineup. This development occurred even with guard Anfernee Simons out with an elbow injury.

Sharpe closed Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks with 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes. Sharpe had been ice cold prior to Tuesday, so this performance was a step in the right direction.

Henderson had an excellent run about two weeks ago, and then he had a few quiet games that likely scared managers. However, after scoring 25 points with five 3-pointers on Sunday, Scoot had a really efficient performance against the Bucks. They’ll unleash him at some point, though we’re hoping it’ll be sooner rather than later.

Key moves the Portland Trail Blazers should make (and avoid) heading into the pivotal February 6th trade deadline.

Sharpe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. The Blazers are tweaking their lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set due to the absence of Anfernee Simons (elbow) and the return of Deni Avdija.

Anfernee Simons scored 21 points and the Portland Trail Blazers extended their winning streak to three with a 100-79 victory over Orlando on Thursday night, spoiling the return of Magic forward Franz Wagner.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points and the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-108 on Sunday night.

The Portland Trail Blazers held the upper hand throughout the second half on their way to a 125-112 home win over the Milwaukee Bucks and their former teammate.

On Tuesday, different eras of the Portland Trail Blazers converged at Moda Center as the rebuilding team, featuring a young core including Donovan Clingan, the No.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner remains healthy ahead of their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. As the team’s leading scorer with 24.7 points per game, Wagner is crucial for the Magic's playoff hopes.
