As the NBA off-season approaches, the front office for the Portland Trail Blazers is already tasked with some difficult decisions. Dan Favale of Bleacher Report ranked the ten worst salary situations in the league, and the Blazers came in at number three, sandwiched between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Portland already has over $105 million dedicated in guaranteed contracts, all before any moves are made regarding Jusuf Nurkic, Ed Davis, or Shabazz Napier.
Favale added his voice to the many suggesting Portland should break up the star backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
