Zach LaVine to the Blazers? That could be a good fit for both sides. The Blazers could add an All-Star next to Damian Lillard and LaVine would have the opportunity to play alongside a top-level point guard.

More on this storyline

According to a source close to the situation, however, Zach LaVine’s knee was “more like 50% and that’s on a good day.’’ The source also said the maintenance of the knee the past few months was an all-day ordeal, and that there would have been a good number of All-Star-type players that would have shut it down for the season with all LaVine had to deal with. And while LaVine wouldn’t come out and say for sure he was headed for off-season surgery — likely a scope — the source said he will in fact have surgery almost immediately this offseason. One scenario that had been ruled out, according to the source, was that the knee was degenerative and LaVine would be dealing with this long-term. -via Chicago Sun-Times / April 27, 2022
