Don’t worry, you can now rest easy. The Portland Trail Blazers‘ young core will not only be a highlighted feature of the team moving forward, but the franchise also seems equally committed to having the next generation of players ready to step up when Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum can no longer carry the weight of Portland on their backs single-handedly.
The Blazers have exercised the right to accept team options for Zach Collins and Anfernee Simons for the 2020-21 season. Instead of worrying about a potentially impending free agency scenario, they can relax and play rest assured that their future Rip City is secure.
