The Portland Trail Blazers are not willing to let CJ McCollum leave the team in exchange for Aaron Gordon, per Zach Lowe of ESPN.
Even though Gordon would help Portland become a top title contender, the Blazers have no plans to trade McCollum.
“The leaguewide interest level in Aaron Gordon is murkier. Brooklyn discussed chasing him in prior years, but that is probably moot now.
He makes sense in Portland, though NBA Twitter’s beloved Gordon-for-CJ McCollum swap has never been discussed in any serious way, sources say.
Could Portland pry Gordon away without surrendering McCollum? Does Zach Collins appeal to a team with Nikola Vucevic, Mo Bamba, and Jonathan Isaac? What about Anfernee Simons?” Lowe reports.
