The Portland Trail Blazers have brought in many new players over the past six months since entering the post-Damian Lillard era.
The most notable of all the new Blazers is former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton, whom the team acquired from the Phoenix Suns in the Lillard deal. However, Ayton doesn’t have a fan in The Athletic’s Jason Quick, who wrote that he believes the team should ship the former top pick out soon.
Although his play has spiked for the better in the past month, his first months in Portland were defined by tardiness and tantrums according to team sources.
