Blazers-Rockets Trade Rumor: Holiday to Houston?

0:00From NBA coverage, this is your March 6 update. The Portland Trail Blazers wrap up their road trip tonight against the Houston Rockets. A trade idea floating around could shake things up between these teams this offseason. Bleacher Reportth Andy Bailey pits sending Blazers guard Juru Holiday to Houston in exchange for forward Jabari Smith Jr. and Dorian. Finney Smith. This deal might let Houston hold on to their draft picks or even snack some from Portland. For the Blazers, it would open up playing time once Damien Lillard returns from his Achilles injury. Smith compare well long-term with the Nye Abdisha of Front, bringing size, defense, and three-point shooting. Blazers fans in the front office really value holiday's experience. Still, the team faces a tough call between him and young guard Scoot Henderson. Their number three overall pick. With about 20 games left, they're using the stretch to sort it out and build around their core. Smith stands at six feet 10 inches with strong defense and force-facing ability. He would fill a power-forward need alongside Abdisha and Jeremy Grant.

1:06Henderson has yet to fully meet expectations, so minutes management is key right now. The game tips off at 5 p.m. Pacific time from the Toyota Center.
