Have you ever felt that you were witnessing the beginning of the end? NBA teams can find themselves in a similar position.
Sometimes, you notice it. The first sign of trouble. If your intuition is correct, it may not be the last one.
They may have been contending for a long time. Their luck is running out. If you look closely, you can see the signs.Â
Many feel that the Portland Trail Blazers are in that exact position.
It wouldn’t come as a shock if they traded Damian Lillard this summer to begin rebuilding.Â
Could they also trade Anfernee Simons to the Miami Heat?Â
