Portland Trail Blazers fans are discussing a potential trade involving Minnesota Timberwolves player Naz Reid, which could impact the future contract of Israeli player Danny Avdija. The Blazers, with a 3-8 record, are facing the Oklahoma City Thunder. Amidst fan speculation, Reid has emerged as a desired acquisition. The 27-year-old Reid is having a career-best season, averaging 17.4 points and 8.5 rebounds, and was the Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24. He previously played seven seasons with Minnesota and briefly fell out of favor with coach Charles Lee before returning to the starting lineup.
A trade for Reid, who has a long-term contract, could affect the Blazers' financial flexibility for extending Avdija's contract, which is projected to be worth around $26.7 million in 2028-29. Some fans propose trading Scoot Henderson to the Charlotte Hornets, who are in need of a point guard after trading LaMelo Ball. The Hornets, currently 4-7, could benefit from Henderson's youth, while Reid, at 27, is seen as a less long-term solution.
Social media is abuzz with trade proposals, with some fans believing a move for Reid would elevate the Blazers to a top-three team in the Western Conference. Others suggest the Blazers should consider trading for Karl-Anthony Towns or Reid to match the speed of teams like the Spurs.
