NBA-
The Trail Blazers are in Oklahoma City today. That’s the sight of a 62 point loss earlier this month. As the February 8th trade deadline nears, rumors are swirling around Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon. Reports say several teams have been interested in the services of both players. NBA Insiders have named the Lakers as potential suitors for Grant despite being in the first year of the five-year 160 million dollar contract. Although Grant and Portland’s management have signaled he’s not on the trading block. Brogdon is more likely to be dealt with the Knicks apparently interested in the reigning sixth man of the year.
