The Portland Trail Blazers need to have an extensive list of available veteran minimum free agents for when the negotiations can officially begin Monday, August 2nd. The Blazers have a restricted financial flexibility to work with to enhance their roster. Outside of minimum contracts and their mid-level exception, they’ll have to make trades to acquire any more talent.
I’ve covered a few possible mercenaries to target with either veteran minimum deals or the MLE, but there’s always a slew of affordable players that hit the market each year.
