Portland Trail Blazers' president Joe Cronin has made significant offseason moves, including trading Malcolm Brogdon to the Washington Wizards for Deni Avdija. He preserved only the No. 7 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, selecting Donovan Clingan from UConn. Despite speculation, trade activity is expected to be low as the season approaches, with Cronin's focus on the current roster.

Analyst Sean Highkin notes that while the Blazers have veterans like Deandre Ayton and Anfernee Simons who could be moved, the trade market is quiet, and any significant changes may not occur until later in the season.
