The Portland Trail Blazers are not having a happy season, even less so since getting blown out by the lowly Utah Jazz on Friday night. But that doesn’t mean baby and bath water should go out the window simultaneously.
Acknowledging the swirling unrest surrounding the team this morning, we published a discussion question asking which Trail Blazers player you’d most like to see traded before the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline. In the spirit of hope and positivity, we’re going to ask the inverse here.
The Blazers currently lack the Damian Lillard/Clyde Drexler superstar around which they’d love to build. That’s a given, one of the realities of their current situation. They do field a young roster full of promise. It’s just a matter of what flavor you enjoy, which players you believe in.
In this post, we’re going to ask you to name the one Blazers player who, for you, is untouchable. We acknowledge that nobody is truly untradeable on an 8-15 team that’s going nowhere, but we also know that each of you will have a player who makes you say, “Whatever you do, don’t move him!”
You can use any criteria you wish to make your determination: talent, age, salary, skills, efficiency, personal preference...everything is valid. Just name the one Blazer on the current roster who’s untouchable in your view and enjoy reading the opinions of your fellow readers in the comment section below.
