The Portland Trail Blazers already look like a different team compared to last season. Earlier in the offseason, they traded Malcolm Brogdon to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Deni Avdija. Additionally, they selected UConn big man Donovan Clingan with the No. 7 overall pick in this year’s draft. Last year, the Trail Blazers finished with a 21-61 record, their worst since the 2005-06 season. Additionally, they have not made the playoffs since the 2020-21 season. It is clear the team is looking to continue their rebuild a year after moving on from Damian Lillard. While they have made some moves so far, it does not seem like they are done just yet. According to Trail Blazers reporter Aaron Fentress (YouTube link), Portland will likely trade forward Jerami Grant or guard Anfernee Simons by the start of training camp.
