The Portland Trail Blazers are off to a 10-4 start in the young, 2022-23 NBA season, the best team in the Western Conference. Even the most optimistic pundits couldn’t have predicted this blazing beginning to the year. But the streak also brings up bigger questions. Blazers fans just can’t live without some worry, and the angst of the day appears to surround starting forwards Jerami Grant and Josh Hart. Each has played a key role in the surge. Each is a potential unrestricted free agent after the season.
Given the circumstances, the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag has been overflowing with questions about keeping one, or both, or ALL of Portland’s forwards.
