As the Portland Trail Blazers head to Utah to face the Jazz on Christmas Day, the Blazer’s Edge Staff is compiling a list of Christmas wishes for the team. We asked each staffer to give one, simple wish to improve Portland’s lot. We’ll present them to you throughout the holiday.
Next up: Isaiah de los Santos.
For my Christmas wish I’m asking for the Portland Trail Blazers to bring in a veteran to occupy the bench and provide a steady presence in the locker room. It’s not that I doubt the leadership of Damian Lillard, or the experience of players like Evan Turner or Al-Farouq Aminu, I just believe in the impact a 10-year-plus player can bring on and off the court.
