Assuming Damian Lillard is moved over the next few months, Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant are now the Portland Trail Blazers’ on-court leaders. Rookie point guard Scoot Henderson may usurp them at some point but without playing an actual NBA game, you’d have to imagine Simons and Grant are currently in charge.
Simons is tied to the Blazers for another three years and more than $77 million and Grant signed a five-year, $160 million deal in July to remain in the city if his birth.
While Grant is five years Simons’ senior, both players share a similar league-wide status.
