NSL Insider - Team by Team: Portland Trailblazers

by sheed36, updated on Wednesday, December 11 2024, 05:28 pm EST

Highlights of the season

The great and feared Portland TrailBlazers started the season with an incredible roster with Lebron and Lillard, two players who could take the team to the finals again. However, gm JMac decided to take a more spiritual route and like a 30-year crisis decided to implode his team. He traded his main players for all the possible picks. Despite the dismantling, Portland managed to come out with a positive balance of 44 wins, guaranteeing a place in the Play-in.

Low points of the season

Despite the win against the mighty Grizzles in the first game, the Blazers had a new face. But to make the playoffs they had The Ant and the Thurders. The task was much more difficult for White, Braun, OG, Herb Jones and Walker Kessler against an established Thunders team.

Best trade:

The Atlanta Hawks send Damian Lillard to the Portland Trail Blazers. The LA Lakers send Jarace WalkerJaime Jaquez Jr. and Brandin Podziemski to the Atlanta Hawks. The LA Lakers send Caleb Houstan and Olivier-Maxence Prosper to the Portland Trail Blazers. The LA Lakers send Rudy Gobert to the Toronto Raptors. The Portland Trail Blazers send Kevin Durant to the LA Lakers. The Toronto Raptors send Tobias Harris to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Atlanta Hawks send a 2nd-Rounder (Por) and 2nd-Rounder (Atl) to the Portland Trail Blazers. The LA Lakers send a 1st-Rounder (Cle) and 1st-Rounder (Atl) to the Atlanta Hawks. The LA Lakers send a 2nd-Rounder (LAL), 2nd-Rounder (LAL), 1st-Rounder (GS) and 1st-Rounder (LAL) to the Portland Trail Blazers. The LA Lakers send a 2nd-Rounder (Dal) to the Toronto Raptors. The Portland Trail Blazers send a 1st-Rounder (Sac) to the Atlanta Hawks. The Portland Trail Blazers send a 1st-Rounder (Was) to the LA Lakers. The Toronto Raptors send a 1st-Rounder (LAL) to the LA Lakers. The Toronto Raptors send a 1st-Rounder (LAL) to the Portland Trail Blazers.

 

The trade that brought Damian Lillard to the Portland Trail Blazers is undoubtedly a masterstroke. The franchise, which has been chasing a championship with LeBron James, now has the opportunity with most talented and loyal point guards in the NSL.

When comparing what Portland received and what it gave up, the trade proves to be extremely favorable. By acquiring Lillard, the team secures an elite player who can lead the team for many years. In contrast, the loss of Kevin Durant, although painful, opens up space for a faster and more focused in a strong duo with Lebron. Additionally, the quantity and quality of the draft picks received in exchange are a valuable asset for any franchise. This combination of an established star and future assets makes this trade considered a great success for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Worst trade

The Atlanta Hawks send Killian Hayes to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Portland Trail Blazers send a 2nd-Rounder (Por) and 2nd-Rounder (Por) to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Portland Trail Blazers use their trade exception over $ 7,413,955.

If you are receiving Killiam Hayes in a trade you are losing.

 

 

The Portland Trail Blazers have made a significant trade, acquiring Paul George from the Washington Wizards in exchange for LeBron James and other assets.

 

Star: It's hard to determine who was the real star of the Trailblazers last season. Is kinda confuse even to write this TBT because this team changed a lot. If you have Lebron James in your team you can’t forget to mention him as the main pillar of the team for at least half year. Now Bradley Beal is the current star and is ready to be the new mainstay.  His goal is to keep the team relevant in the strong Western Conference. But we all know he won't last the whole season. Portland has aggressive rebuilding plans that have yet to be finalized.

 

Draft Grade:

Blazers had two picks in the 2024 draft, the most relevant being number 2. With him Blazers picked Zaccharie Risacher who was immediately sent to some random team in the league. The second choice was Harrison Ingram, who also didn't stop for a second in Oregon.
