The Portland Trail Blazers are miles away from the elite franchises in the NBA. They’re closer to, but still fairly far away from, the league’s cellar dwellers as well. Operating in the murky middle ground is leaving some Blazers fans uneasy, though. Is the team aiming for success in the standings or in NBA Lottery odds? That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dave,
Do you think Donovan Clingan and others like Scoot are really injured, or is this just a way of tanking more games. Me personally I’d rather see the team win some games and grow players, rather than just sit them out to get higher draft picks.
