With chances of rebounding this season growing increasingly slim, the Portland Trail Blazers are thinking about their future and are willing to hear offers on some of their biggest stars.
According to Shams Charania, per NBACentral, Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, and Robert Williams III are all “receiving interest” on the trade market.
These are three of the most valued veterans in Portland, so if the Blazers sincerely listen to any offers on them, it shows just how willing they are to change up their roster in big ways.

Grant might be the player who attracts the most interest out of this trio.
This season, the 30-year-old forward is averaging 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
Simons is putting up 16.5 points and 4.4 assists, while Williams is producing 9.6 points and 6.0 rebounds during his seven games.
The problem for Simons and Williams is that they are both injury-prone, which could diminish their chances of getting a big deal with a new team.
Still, even with their problems, those two could continue to generate interest and could be part of a package deal.
The Trail Blazers are the 13th team in the West with an 8-16 record, and it doesn’t seem like they will be reaching the playoffs this season.
But if they can pull off a nice trade for these three stars, they could be looking much better in the next season and the years ahead.
The Blazers are one of the few struggling teams who could be busy during the trade season.
Which squad will sign Grant, Simons, Williams, or all three?
