The Trail Blazers must navigate a hefty to-do list in the 2021 offseason. Near the top of the list is retaining potential free agent guard Norman Powell. The former Raptors guard has the ability to opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent.
According to The Athletic’s John Hollinger, Powell is poised to become one of the top shooting guards on the open market. Utilizing his BORD$ scale, a system that assigns contract value based on previous output and future projections, Powell finished just behind Danny Green and Evan Fournier in this year’s shooting guard class.
