Next season franchise icon Damian Lillard returns to a winning basketball team.

It’s been five long years since Portland has seen meaningful basketball in April. On Tuesday the Blazers will play the 7th seed Suns to kick off the postseason.

Will the Blazers contend for a WCF before the decade ends?

Considering they started this season with there coach getting arrested it has to be a good season.

Hopefully at like 80% of their current cap value, maximum. We need to add a shooter with the MLE.

They’ve been so injured here too, I just want health.

Blazers overachieved this season no one expected that after the Chauncy billups scandal

Yes and no. Definitely overachieved with the players they had. But lots of injuries limited who they had to work with.

EvanTurningTheCorner | Trail Blazers

I disagree. Second most games missed to injury in the League. If we had even average health we could have avoided the play-in altogether.

Dame’s one of my fav ever. how much do you think he contributes to upping their w/l next season?

biggieBpimpin | Trail Blazers

Offensively he will be massive. Even if he isn’t mobile he still shoots better than everyone on the team. But he is working is ass off right now and I think he will be fairly mobile. On top of that he is such an important player to have down the stretch in tight games. We have a fun roster, but lack composure so badly.

He isn’t going to be WCF Dame, but he is going to be a valuable piece for us still.

my only complaint is ticket prices have been so cheap the last couple years, i’ve gotten too used to paying $10-20 to get in the building. with dame returning and new owners, i fear the ticket price minimums we’re about to have….

EvanTurningTheCorner | Trail Blazers

I’ve bought tickets on resale apps for like $2 a pop. Gonna miss that.

So many games where we were in it or even seemingly in control before shit went sideways in the clutch. Dame would be so helpful in those situations.

likpoper | Trail Blazers

He is exactly what we need on offense. Shooting and playmaking are our biggest weakness. Just get all sort of defense around him.

I think he would be huge as a leader as well

It would be unbelievable if we were contending for the WCF with this roster by decades end. This roster doesn’t have nearly the talent necessary for that. But fun season! Nice to be back above .500 with a chance at the playoffs regardless of how grim the future may look. Especially given what happened to start the year and how many injuries we dealt with.

likpoper | Trail Blazers

Funny enough our best players are all by trades. Deni/camera/jrue/rob Williams. We literally got all these guys via dame trade and then we also got dame back. Hahahah

Yesilikekanye | Trail Blazers

If only we had another Dame to trade to get more talent! At least we have the Bucks swaps so we can actually try a rebuild in a few years.

EvanTurningTheCorner | Trail Blazers

I don’t think that’s the path were on. IMO were more likely to trade those picks with the expiring contracts of Grant and Holiday for good young guys that fit better with our young core of Deni, Clingan, Toumani, Scoot and Sharpe. We’re not trying to go into a rebuild again anytime soon.

Hopefully Avdija gets the downgraded whistle next season like Brunson did this season.

The Portland Trailblazers finish the season 42-40, securing their first winning season since 2020-21
