Prior to the start of the 2015-16 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers looked like a team destined for a rebuilding process. The team lost four of their five starters, most notably LaMarcus Aldridge, who signed with the San Antonio Spurs. The weight of the team was completely put on the back of star point guard and lone retained starter, Damien Lillard. To the surprise of many, the new-look Blazers put together a fine season ending in the second round of the NBA playoffs, with Lillard leading the way accompanied by a blossoming star in CJ McCollum. It became clear that owner Paul Allen had no desire to tear everything down, and thus the Blazers would be very active going into this season, further retooling their roster.
