Scoot Henderson's arrival at Trail Blazers could be a game-changer for Damian Lillard.

Portland Trail Blazers' GM Joe Cronin believes that Scoot Henderson, who fell to them at No. 3 in the 2023 NBA Draft, is too good to give up and could be a transcendent player in the league. The team may still be aggressive in free agency to put a contender on the floor, likely with Henderson and Damian Lillard together. If they can't find a return that makes them a real contender without giving up Henderson, they may consider trading Lillard instead.
