It’s not a stretch to say that the 2019-20 Portland Trail Blazers had one of the stranger rosters in recent memory. They somehow ended up with future hall-of-famer Carmelo Anthony, an often maligned big man in Hassan Whiteside, and a cadre of other strange personalities that made this roster...interesting to say the least. If I had handed a list of this year’s team to a random Blazer fan before the 2019 free agency period, they would be terribly confused as to how they ended up with such a squad.
But while the final roster was unique in and of itself, plenty of players departed along the way to make the lineup possible.
