Blazers Featured on List of ‘8 True Contenders’

The Trail Blazers received solid marks for their savvy offseason moves, but the highest praise may have come from NBA analyst Sekou Smith. In an early look at the teams poised to compete for the 2020-21 NBA Championship, the Blazers were included on Smith’s list of eight title-contending teams.

When evaluating the Blazers’ chances, Smith highlighted the players that are set to surround Portland’s foundation of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic.

The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks could stake their own claim to a top-four spot this season.
