The Portland Trail Blazers can now exhale after their season came to an end Sunday in a loss against the Sacramento Kings.
The Blazers finished with a 21-61 record, the franchise’s worst since 2005-06, the year before they drafted LaMarcus Aldridge. However, the year didn’t come as a big surprise given the fact that the team traded Damian Lillard just before the season began.
ESPN’s Bobby Marks broke down each lottery team’s offseason and identified this summer as a “critical” one for the Blazers.
The Trail Blazers are at a critical juncture of their rebuild.
