General manager Joe Cronin took the Portland Trail Blazers' roster in an interesting direction this summer. Portland made a win-now trade for Jrue Holiday, took a gamble on Yang Hansen in the draft, added another aging star in (an injured) Damian Lillard, and rounded out their 15-man roster with the signing of Blake Wesley.
That's a lot to sort out. But Cronin has been consistent with his vision throughout Portland's rebuild: stockpile assets and figure the rest out later.
That's the right approach for a young roster with many moving parts. But that line also got blurred with the number of veterans Portland has and their win-now aspirations.
