(Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)   The Portland Trail Blazers have been through the wringer over the past several years. Despite having players like Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons for much of the past decade, the team hasn’t been able to put things together and win a meaningful number of games. There was a long stretch of playoff appearances for this team, but they haven’t made it to the NBA Finals since the 1991-1992 season. Plus, Lillard has moved on from this team, losing a star player because things haven’t gone according to plan. It appears that frustrations are mounting wi ..read more

With one swift trade, Banton moved from the best team in the league to one of the worst. However, he has been thriving during his time with the Blazers, scoring more points, getting more time on the court, and just looking like a better and more confident player in every way. Banton now knows that the move to Portland was for the best. “I was just marinating there with a great team,” he recently told The A ..read more

They’ve only managed to win 19 games, and what was supposed to be a promising season for their young players has been hampered by injuries. On top of that, they’ve made the wrong kind of history this season. As pointed out by Ball Don’t Lie, they now have suffered two of the only nine 60-point losses in NBA history. There have been nine losses of 60 points or more in NBA history. The Blazers have two of them in the last three months ..read more

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)   The Portland Trail Blazers took part in a three-team trade primarily involving Damian Lillard, Deandre Ayton, and Jusuf Nurkic during the last offseason. The Trail Blazers acquired Ayton amid giving up Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks. Ayton had spent five seasons with the Suns before being sent to the Trail Blazers, but the former No. 1 overall pick struggled to find a place in Phoenix. With the Trail Blazers heading towards an eminent rebuilding phase, acquiring Ayton seemed like a smart move. Ayton had the opportunity to finally display his full p ..read more

And while the league was in a halt for a week for the All-Star Break, that’s still not good at all.

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)   The number one overall pick in an NBA Draft is expected to be a generational talent who has the potential to carry the franchise on his shoulders for the foreseeable future. The Phoenix Suns drafted Deandre Ayton with the No.1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft with that thought in mind. However, after spending five years in Phoenix, Ayton began a new chapter in his career with the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2023-24 NBA season. While many expected Ayton to reach his true potential while playing for the Trail Blazers, he has failed to impress the ..read more

Michael Scotto is reporting, via Evan Sidery, that the Blazers have an asking price in mind for the former Rookie of the Year. According to Scotto, the Blazers want “at least a first-round pick” for Brogdon. Portland is prioritizing its young guards so they are willing to say goodbye to Brogdon after only a few months. League executives believe the Trail Blazers’ asking price for Malcolm Brogdo ..read more

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)   Robert Williams III of the Portland Trail Blazers is a very talented and efficient big man who is capable of great things, but injuries continually get in his way. This season, his first with the Blazers, was cut short due to season-ending knee surgery that forced him off the court after just six games. But those six games may have been the only ones he will ever play for Portland. According to Chris Haynes, via NBACentral, the Blazers are open to trading Williams. “There are some teams that are pondering making a move for Robert Williams,” Haynes ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Malcolm Brogdon, knowing that he likely wouldn’t finish the season in Rip City. Brogdon is a proven veteran with a track record in this league, and it would be just a matter of time before a team made just the right offer to get him. Unsurprisingly, with the trade deadline closing in, that time is coming. According to NBA insider Sam Amico, the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers are monitoring the former Rookie of the Year (via NBA Central). Teams showing interest in Ma ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The Portland Trail Blazers kicked off their rebuild with a new point guard. Scoot Henderson looked like a can’t-miss talent, dominating in the G-League and even holding his own vs. Victor Wembanyama in some exhibition games. However, he has struggled mightily in his first season in the league, and some are starting to question whether he’s franchise-player material. According to Legion Hoops, Henderson even made infamous NBA history during their blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, posting the second-worst plus-minus in NBA history (-56). Scoot ..read more
