Does this trade make sense for the Portland Trail Blazers?

The Trail Blazers are a staple in the postseason in the Western Conference. When a player like Damian Lillard is on the roster, the team is going to have success in the regular season. Once the playoffs come around, the Blazers are not taken seriously as championship threats and this is what the team could be looking to change. Lillard would get a new partner in this trade.

Collin Sexton may have caused some disgruntled feelings from teammates. This is something that would not happen in Portland because he would not be the top option within the offense. They would have to take on the contract of Love but he would bring some postseason experience to a team that could use it.

Damian Lillard has made a name for himself as one of the best clutch performers in the league but needs another option that has been there before. As for Sexton, he took that next step this season and would benefit greatly from joining a backcourt where there is an all-time great.

The Trail Blazers need to do something this offseason to continue to contend in a difficult Western Conference. This would be a surprising deal to see but it could be the blockbuster that both sides are looking for.
