Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
Yes: one thousand times yes. The Portland Trail Blazers can’t afford to hesitate if this deal is on the table.
Remember the mediocrity treadmill? This deal has the potential to launch the Trail Blazers off of it. If everything goes accordingly, they could find themselves on the fast track to an NBA title.
Durant and Lillard immediately form one of the best duos in the National Basketball Association. Furthermore, Jerami Grant and Josh Hart remain on this roster following this deal. By signing just a few more inexpensive role players, the Blazers could be championship favorites heading into 2022-23.
That’s not a place they’ve found themselves in very often. It’s one that their loyal, presumably tired fanbase deserves to see them in.
