The Portland Trail Blazers return in 2025-26 looking similar to last season — with one pretty big exceptions. Out is Anfernee Simons, who spent the first seven years of his career in PDX, and in is veteran Jrue Holiday. General manager Joe Cronin added a defensive presence (and a few extra years of team control) when he made that point guard swap, and it changes the calculus of the Blazers lineup pretty considerably.
