Over the past few years, the Trail Blazers have often opted to keep one roster spot open going into the regular season for a number of reasons, including the possibility a two-for-one trade or a mid-season free agent signing. The 2020-21 season has been no exception, with Portland entering the 72-game campaign with 14 players under contract, one less than the maximum. And, after using both of their two-way contracts, which allows for team to sign players who split time between the NBA and G-League without taking up a spot on the "regular" roster, last season, they also chose to keep one open heading into this season.
