The Rip City offseason has been described by several different phrases. Ranging from “youth movement” to “a roster with room to grow”, one term that has been mysteriously left out is “rebuild”. This omission could be attributed to Portland fan’s refusal to accept another roster reconstruction(see, dodging rebuild in my own article). But, it is also plausible that the expectations for a rebuilding season are at an all-time low. Currently the rebuild bar is so low even Peter Dinklage would struggle to limbo under it. So, how did the new rebuild standard get so bad, and how is a Blazers roster that lost four of it five starters above it?
