The Portland Trail Blazers will enter the 2022 season with a team that is basically the same as it was in the 2021 season. Without a first-round pick or significant cap space, the Blazers will start next season reliant on new head coach Chauncey Billups, and internal improvement from young players, to improve their squad.
