4 Rules to Help the Trail Blazers Chart a Course Forward

The Portland Trail Blazers enter the 2018-19 NBA regular season on the cusp of several possibilities. They could repeat last year’s run to the 3rd seed in the Western Conference playoffs. They could also repeat the accompanying first-round ouster. Their young guys might flourish, but it also might come too late for franchise superstars Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum...either or both of whom could stay or go. The Blazers might even end up in the NBA Draft Lottery, which could be a good or a bad thing, depending on perspective. Making sense of the way forward amid so many unknowns is the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
