PRIOR TO THE Portland Trail Blazers' first preseason game in Seattle in October, a member of the Blazers' front office strolled up to general manager Joe Cronin and three of his staff members sitting courtside.
Anyone in the area could hear the comment to Cronin.
Hey Joe, you've got the makings of a pretty good starting five there.
Next to Cronin were three former WNBA stars now on his Blazers staff, which also includes a current WNBA player, all of whom are tasked with building Portland into a contender around All-NBA guard Damian Lillard.
