Trail Blazers could be setting up another trade after Ja Morant acquisition

On Monday afternoon, the Trail Blazers acquired Ja Morant, ending months of tension and uncertainty between Morant and the Grizzlies.

It's a major move for Portland, even though Morant's trade value has decreased over the past year.

It might not be the end of major moves in Portland this season either, as they have some roster decisions to address.

The Trail Blazers will have a surplus of guards after recently acquiring Morant.

The Morant trade came at an interesting time, as there have been other players connected to Portland rather than Morant.

This could mean that they have enough depth among their guards now that they could be willing to part ways with a player like Shaedon Sharpe or Scoot Henderson.

Now, this would likely only happen if they go after a superstar player, but they are looking to take a major step this offseason to get back to being a team in the mix.

We've heard Jaylen Brown as the latest name Portland is interested in, so this Morant trade could help them in more than one way, in terms of trying to get Brown, or a player like him.
