Larry Nance Jr is now expendable since the Cavs have Jarret Allen now, and the Blazers should be the one to make a trade. Collins can't stay healthy. Nassir Little and CJ have promise, but they fit more on a rebuilding team. So the Trail Blazers do this to fortify their starting lineup and obtain a defensive-minded PF to add to their starting lineup. After acquiring Robert Covington who can play SF, it would be optimal for Portland to pair Jusuf Nurkic with a strong power forward who is adept defensively. The Trail Blazers still preserve their depth following this trade but improve at PF considerably with Nance Jr. starting and complementing their team. The Blazers would match better against teams like the Nuggets, Lakers or Clippers. Also, he can shoot the three decently. Nance's Jr d-pipm(defensive player impact minutes) was almost as high as Ben Simmons last year. He will fit perfectly into this team.

We can run many different lineups:

Our Starters would be Damian Lillard. CJ McCollum. Robert Covington. Larry Nance Jr. Jusuf Nurkic. This lineup provides us with a true PF, and allow DJJ to come off the bench.

Our Bench would be Anfernee Simons. Gary Trent Jr. DJJ. Carmelo Anthony. Enes Kanter. Our bench has been effective offensively, but not defensively. Since we have Carmelo AND Kanter getting minutes at the same time, they will need to be surrounded with defenders. Having Trent Jr and DJJ would allow Stotts to still maintain a defensive mindset.

Our Small Ball Lineup would be: Damian Lillard. CJ McCollum. Gary Trent Jr. DJJ. Larry Nance Jr. He is perfect for small-ball game due to his size, speed, and strength.

I believe this is perfect because let's say Nurkic has to miss 3-4 weeks, we would put all our trust in Kanter's defense, which isn't good, teams would destroy us in the paint. But with Larry Nance Jr, it improves our big-man depth, and we would be able to trust Larry Nance Jr to hold down the defensive side of the ball.
