According to NBA legend Vince Carter, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Anfernee Simons is one of the best values on the trade market today and should be picked up "for a playoff team." This season, Simons is averaging 18.5 points, 4.8 assists, 2.8 total rebounds, and 0.8 steals per game.

Additionally, a fan-favorite center who now plays for a Western Conference rival is reportedly on a the trading block once again. This time, he may be heading to the Eastern Conference.

Finally, there are injury updates for Jerami Grant and Matisse Thybulle heading into the Trail Blazers' match-up against the Orlando Magic.
