The Portland Trail Blazers fizzled out to close the regular season, going 4-6 over the last 10 games before falling 4-1 in the opening round of the playoffs to the Memphis Grizzlies.
It was a disappointing conclusion to what began as a promising year that was derailed by a lack of depth and injuries to key players.
The 2015 offseason will be major for the Blazers, as three starters will be free agents alongside a number of role players. This team has the chance to be a Western Conference powerhouse, and this period will be instrumental in maintaining and improving on that possibility.
