The Trail Blazers have had their struggles in free agency since landing Brian Grant in 1997, and the summer of 2016 proved to be no different. Neil Olshey assembled an elite squad (Paul Allen, Terry Stotts, and Damian Lillard) to help recruit Chandler Parsons on the opening day of free agency, but they eventually lost out to the Grizzlies. After watching the center market dry up, Portland was able to land Festus Ezeli on a heavily discounted deal. Classifying the Trail Blazers’ offseason as a failure is dependent on which way you choose to view it.
