Portland needs a back up point guard to replace him and some forward depth. Right now they've got seven other rotation players not including him, not yet knowing what they have in Kris Murray or second year Jabari Walker:
- Scoot
- Sharpe
- Simons
- Thybulle
- Grant
- Time Lord
- Ayton
Everyone else is super raw except for Knox, who probably won't get much better than he is. But perhaps they're more concerned with developing that raw talent than with depth right now, since expectations aren't necessarily going to be measured in wins this year. I guess we'll know once they trade him.
