Portland GM John Nash believes that recent allegations against Blazer Qyntel Woods are hurting his tradability, according to the Oregon Live, but this is not preventing Woods’ agent, Raymond Brothers, from trying. Nash confirmed that potential deals have been discussed with both Miami and Cleveland, but both are lukewarm on acquiring Woods.

"I think it has already become an issue that people are a little wary of around the league, because they don't know the extent of the issue, much like ourselves," Nash said.

It is believed that the Miami deal could include Wang Zhizhi or Jerome Beasley, while Cleveland confirmed that Brothers tried to generate interest in a trade, perhaps for disgruntled guard Dajuan Wagner, but the Cavaliers said they are not biting.

"That's Raymond Brothers trying to draw up interest," Cleveland general manager Jim Paxson said over the weekend. "I'm not saying we're not interested, but we have just started training camp, and we want to focus on that. If they want to go up that road with us, it's the wrong road.
