GP3 brings the D back to the Bay

The Portland Trail Blazers are staring down the most important offseason of the Damian Lillard Era. They’ve done well in recent years, adding talents like Shaedon Sharpe and Jerami Grant to their roster while hiring a head coach with a fresh outlook in Chauncey Billups that could lead them to a higher plane. Front office hires, like that of assistant general manager Mike Schmitz, have dramatically improved their talent evaluation and ability to build a roster that can dominate.

The nerds weigh in on "ball don't lie".

Some interesting quotes from Dame in this article

Basketball gave Greg Oden everything. Then took it all away. No one would blame the former no. 1 pick for walking away from a game that brought him so much pain, but Oden simply can’t quit basketball. He still, miraculously, loves it. Now he’s back home again in Indiana, searching for purpose on the sidelines at Butler.

As teams look to diversify their executive ranks, more players with WNBA ties have joined NBA staffs. But no franchise can match Portland's star quartet.

Anyone need a 7’, rim protecting 3&D center?

Top Five offensive player. Media juggernaut. Toyota franchisee. Oakland native. Decent human being.

Takes one to know one. ;-)
