Blazers Pull Off Morant Swap, Signal Holiday Stay as Davis Talks Cool

Portland stunned the league by trading for Ja Morant from Memphis in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, joining a lineup that already features Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson. With Morant in the mix, insiders say the Blazers are more likely to keep Jrue Holiday and have cooled on pursuing Anthony Davis, sending messages to other teams that Holiday isn’t going anywhere. The resulting core—Morant, Holiday, Henderson, Avdija, Clingan, and Sharpe—aims to elevate Portland after a 42-40 playoff finish, with the team eyeing further improvement in the 2026-27 season.

Blazers Eye Giannis in Possible Multiteam Trade

Portland is reportedly exploring a multi-team route to land Giannis Antetokounmpo rather than a direct sign-and-trade, as Giannis is viewed as an extreme long shot to re-sign with the Blazers. The Stein Line notes Portland could act as a facilitator in a deal that might involve Jrue Holiday and target pieces like Mikal Bridges, using assets such as Milwaukee’s 2028–2030 first-round picks. A concrete move could come in the next five days or in the offseason, with Giannis and Dame having prior Bucks connections influencing discussions.

Anthony Davis appears unlikely to be traded before the deadline, while Tari Eason is off-limits for Houston. Overall, the situation remains speculative as the deadline approaches.
