Approaching the NBA trade deadline (Thursday at noon Pacific), the Portland Trail Blazers' best asset is money.

Portland has about $20 million of cap space to work with. The team has a total payroll of around $49.3 million, well shy of the $70 million salary cap this season.

Since the Blazers are so far below the salary cap they could be poised to take on big salaries in an unbalanced trade. However, they don't have many highly coveted assets to work with. The Blazers have two veterans on expiring deals in Chris Kaman ($5.5 million) and Gerald Henderson ($6 million), but with the salary cap projected to jump to $89 million for the 2016-17 season expiring contracts aren't as valuable trade chips as they once were.

The Blazers owe the Denver Nuggets a lottery protected first round pick in either the 2016 or 2017 draft as part of last year's trade that landed Arron Afflalo in Portland. Because of a league rule that prevents teams from trading future first round picks in consecutive drafts, the earliest first round pick the Blazers can trade is their 2019 selection.

CJ McCollum is easily the best trade piece the Blazers can offer. He's a top 20 scorer in the league and under contract for $3.2 million next season. But the Blazers are very unlikely to include McCollum, a long time favorite of President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey, in any trades this week.

The Blazers other young assets, Meyers Leonard, Allen Crabbe and Moe Harkless, are all headed for free agency this summer, lowering their trade value as teams would have to consider the possibility of trading for a two-month rental before losing a player in free agency.

For what it's worth, no one on the Blazers roster wants to see any deadline shakeups.

"The chemistry is great," Ed Davis told The Oregonian/OregonLive last week. "One thing to keep in mind, when you start doing moves, you never know how it can go. It can go either way. So my question is: Why? Why fix something if it's not broke?"

Add Damian Lillard to the list of readers who would vote "No" in the poll.

Armed with $20 million and limited tradable assets, do you want to see the Blazers make a move ahead of Thursday's deadline? Or would you rather Olshey keep the roster intact after a surprising 27-27 start to the season?
