Krejci Deal Gives Blazers a Shooting Lift and Depth Boost

Portland lands Vit Krejci from Atlanta for Duop Reath and two second-round picks, a move aimed at adding shooting and wing depth as the Blazers try to improve their weak 3-point shooting. Krejci shoots about 42% from three this season and has a team-friendly, minimum-salary contract through 2027-28 with no guaranteed money beyond this year, making it a cost-efficient add while cap-space considerations linger for potential moves like extending Avdija. Analysts from ESPN, CBS, and The Athletic generally praised the deal as a smart move for Portland, though Hawks perspectives were mixed, and fan reactions ranged from enthusiastic to reserved about the trade’s impact.}

Blazers upgrade guard depth with Vit Krejci in swap for Duop Reath

Portland traded injured center Duop Reath to Atlanta for guard Vit Krejci, a low-cost, two-year addition that fits the Blazers' length-and-shooting mold. Krejci, 6'8 with a quick release, has shot around 42% from three this season and can play as a secondary passer and floor-spacer, though his defense is modest. The move gives Portland bench depth and future flexibility with an inexpensive contract, while Reath’s expiring deal would have limited value next season.

The Atlanta Hawks sent Vit Krejci to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Duop Reath and two second-round picks (the Hawks’ 2027 pick and New York’s 2030 pick). Reath could be waived to clear a roster spot, while Krejci — a cheap, 3-point shooter — provides immediate shooting for Portland.

Portland acquires guard Vit Krejci from Atlanta in exchange for center Duop Reath and two future second-round picks (including Atlanta’s own 2027 pick back and a Knicks 2030 pick). Krejci, averaging 9.0 points and 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, gives Portland a welcomed 3-point threat as Reath heads to Atlanta after season-ending foot surgery; the deal also sparks questions about how Caleb Love and Sidy Cissoko’s two-way contracts will be handled.
