Blazers Make Play To Return To Top Of West With Impressive Run Of Signings And Trades

Historically, the free agent signing period isn’t an especially enjoyable time for Trail Blazers fans. As a small market team situated on the outer fringes of the country in a region known for foul weather, courting free agents, especially those with multiple suitors, has always been a difficult endeavor, even when there’s ample money to throw on the table. While this is not news to anyone invested in the Trail Blazers’ success, the pill of seeing other teams improve overnight thanks to dynamic free agent signings while your squad has to rely on incremental moves and internal growth is always a bit tough to swallow.
