Blazers are betting big on Sidy Cissoko to carry a thin wing rotation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers made it clear at Media Day that they view having this many ball handlers on the roster as a good problem to have. Just last season, this injury-riddled team would've killed for this backcourt depth, and who knows, maybe they wouldn't have led the league in turnovers. It's not that having this amount of point guards and centers is necessarily a bad thing. Rather, it's the opportunity cost of how thin Portland now is at the wing/forward positions. The Blazers shipped Jer
A thriving Ja Morant would make the Blazers' next move obvious (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers landed Ja Morant this offseason, hoping he'd return to form, buying low on a former two-time All-Star who should, in theory, be in his prime at 27. Say what you will about (valid) concerns surrounding Morant's fit, injury history, and contract, but there's no denying this was a drastic yet cheap talent upgrade for Portland. Morant should also benefit from a change of scenery, not just in terms of veteran mentorship with Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday, but also by shed
Blazers are still one Trey Murphy III trade away from balancing their roster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers are taking a wait-and-see approach to their roster, content to open the 2026-27 season with a crowded backcourt following the Ja Morant deal. October-February will be a crucial time to evaluate players and assess how these new pieces fit. The Blazers have high expectations entering the season, with their stated goal of 50+ wins and securing home-court advantage in the playoffs as a top-four seed in the Western Conference. Talent shouldn't be an issue after adding Moran
Blazers' overlooked Vit Krejci trade is finally about to pay off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers made some underrated moves on the margins this offseason. We're already seeing that pay off in first practice on Tuesday, when head coach Micah Nori identified former Oklahoma City Thunder big man Branden Carlson as the standout performer. But another overlooked move that should pay huge dividends for Portland this season was actually their trade that came at February's deadline last season: the acquisition of Atlanta Hawks sharpshooter Vit Krejci. The Blazers were exp
Blazers can't ignore the chance to flip Ja Morant this season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Portland Trail Blazers just acquired Ja Morant this offseason. Nothing suggests they're looking to flip him; in fact, there's recently been discussion about Morant starting in the backcourt next to Damian Lillard. But should the Blazers consider flipping Morant, specifically towards February's trade deadline? Considering practice has already opened up, and we're approaching October, it's safe to assume Portland will enter this 2026-27 season with its backcourt logjam unresolved. Morant wasn'
