Blazers’ backcourt problem grows louder following Shaedon Sharpe’s injury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shaedon Sharpe's unfortunate injury could turn out to be a positive for the Portland Trail Blazers, as it clears the backcourt logjam a bit. However, we can't just ignore that each of the team's guards who has figured to be a part of the rotation this season has dealt with major injuries throughout his career. Naturally, the Blazers and their fans are hoping that Sharpe can eventually be healthy for a long time. However, lately, there haven't been many reasons to be optimistic, especially given
Blazers gifted potential Robert Williams replacement after Peyton Watson trade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It would have been intriguing had the Portland Trail Blazers landed Peyton Watson. But perhaps they can pivot to a forgotten piece of the multi-team trade that sent the rising star from the Denver Nuggets to the Cleveland Cavaliers. His name is Julian Reese. Not many know Reese, as the big man went undrafted last year before appearing in just 13 games with the lottery-bound Washington Wizards. However, he made quite a splash in that brief stint, and maybe the Blazers could give him a look or two
Ben Simmons could be the curveball that fixes Blazers’ glaring roster flaw (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers made a big splash this summer but haven't addressed their potential undersupply of serviceable forwards. Well, Ben Simmons remains unsigned, and he could probably be of some help to the Blazers in that department if they take an unexpected flyer on him. Despite the team's core pieces looking like odd fits alongside each other on the court, there should be little doubt that it has a nice collection of talented individuals. At the guard spots are a shoo-in Hall of Famer,
Scoot Henderson's blueprint for success with Blazers is staring him in the face (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers' revamped backcourt has left Scoot Henderson in limbo. He could be the odd man out in the team's guard rotation, that is, unless he learns how to play like veteran teammate Jrue Holiday. The Blazers now have a glut of guards, including Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, and Holiday, who will likely soak up the minutes at the one and two. That's not counting Shaedon Sharpe, whose offensive skill set makes him a better fit with the team's core led by Deni Avdija than Henderson i
Deni Avdija is quietly the biggest winner of Blazers revamped backcourt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the biggest questions for the Portland Trail Blazers after an offseason of polarizing moves is how it will impact Deni Avdija's performance on the court. But given that the first-time All-Star saw a lot of double teams last season, it's safe to assume that he stands to benefit greatly from the Ja Morant addition and Damian Lillard's much-awaited return. Stats show that Avdija was among those who were doubled the most in the 2025-26 campaign. He was in the same league as Kawhi Leonard, Jay
