These Blazers are the most talented team Ja Morant has ever played with (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ja Morant played on some pretty solid teams with the Memphis Grizzlies. They made the playoffs, they were competitive, and he had plenty of talent around him. But there's a real argument to be made that this season's Portland Trail Blazers are going to be the best team Morant has ever been a part of. The fit isn't perfect. The questions that were asked when the Blazers made their giant trade for Morant are still valid. Portland has a lot of guards on the roster, and it could get awkward when it
A Donovan Clingan offensive leap could help the Blazers reach another level (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The next step for Donovan Clingan is to improve on the offensive end. If he can do that for the Portland Trail Blazers, then it takes their team to a whole new level. Portland needs guys who can show up when it matters most, putting points on the board, especially with the ball in their hands. If Clingan can be that, that's another guy for them. Right now, heading into the upcoming season, Deni Avdija is going to be the Blazers’ primary option. Damian Lillard and Ja Morant are going to handle th
Damian Lillard will be important to Blazers' next rebuild step in playoffs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the teams in the league primed to make a leap this upcoming season.

Well, at least the part of their rebuild that focuses on winning basketball g
Shaedon Sharpe injury is already hurting Blazers' Ja Morant era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers just made a massive move this summer. They traded Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Ja Morant. Now, Morant is slated to headline a new-look Blazers team that will also feature the return of Damian Lillard after his season-ending Achilles injury during the playoffs last year. But the Shaedon Sharpe injury complicates things for Portland in the long run. Sharpe just tore his meniscus and is slated to miss around six months. That puts a
Ja Morant needs to lean on Damian Lillard during Blazers era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers made a huge trade this summer, bringing in Ja Morant to be a big part of their future. Morant has all the talent in the world, but in the last few years, that hasn’t shown up on the court. Now, Portland will be looking to integrate him into the team and the culture, and there’s nobody better to do that than Damian Lillard. Nobody in the league knows what it’s like to be a Blazer more than Lillard. Before he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, he was the ultimate Blazer,
