Hassan Whiteside, two protected first-round picks for Danilo Gallinari, Nerlens Noel

The OKC Thunder are expected to continue selling some of their remaining assets for draft picks or large outgoing contracts. The Blazers should be an ideal trade partner because they can offer both for OKC. Gallinari, who is a career 37 percent 3-point shooter, would be a good fit for the Blazers. Add Noel to the equation, and all of a sudden, Portland addressed the two biggest needs on their roster: a stretch four and a rim-protector.
