On this episode of The Breakdown, Danny Marang looks at five free agent bigs that the Portland Trail Blazers could target in the offseason. Regardless of the Blazers’ current backcourt concerns, they need to find a backup for Jusuf Nurkic. Addressing the backup pivot spot is an even bigger priority after Zach Collins’ recent injury set back and Enes Kanter’s subpar playoff performance against the Denver Nuggets.
