Pour one out for the Portland Trail Blazers, 2018 Summer League champs.
Many Blazers fans came into Summer League with optimism. Coming off two straight championships appearances and winning the Summer League tournament last year in 2018, there was a little buzz surrounding this year’s team, hoping to make it back to back titles.
Although everyone knew that winning this championship was almost meaningless, it gave an extra bit of purpose for both fans and the organization heading into their Vegas outing. Winning the tournament would’ve been nice boost to some of the younger members of the team, and would have highlighted the impressive work that Portland’s development staff put in.
