It's a new day. It's a new era.
It's also August, the beginning of the doldrums of the off-season. The draft, free agency, and summer league are all pretty much over. It's another month and change until players will start returning to the Rose City in preparation for training camp. With so little basketball news, it's an opportunity to discuss broader topics that don't get much attention during the regular season.
Speaking of opportunities, every rebuild provides a mix of opportunities and challenges up and down an organization. Obviously, the basketball operations side of the Trail Blazers has a new challenge and opportunity to construct a new roster.
