The Trail Blazers’ quiet summer has received criticism from all angles. Portland will be trying to bounce back from a dismal playoff performance last season, and their 2018 offseason transactions haven’t inspired an abundance of hope.
Tim Bontemps of The Washington Post was the latest to analyze the Blazers’ offseason. Based on Portland’s lack of activity, Bontemps placed Portland in the “lean losers” category.
Ed Davis was let go, likely to allow for more minutes for last year’s first-round pick, Zach Collins. Seth Curry replaced Shabazz Napier. But the Blazers failed to address the same issue they’ve had for years now: a lack of depth on the wing.
