The Portland Trail Blazers moved arguably their most skilled offensive player this summer, trading Anfernee Simons to the Boston Celtics. With Simons now out of the equation, head coach Chauncey Billups will have to revamp Portland's entire offense.
On media day, Billups emphasized that the Blazers' offense would be less stagnant this season. "A lot more cutting and moving around. Not as much standing around. We'll be better about that, not being as predictable," he said.
There are times when coaches tend to say the right things, and it does not translate to on-court production. But that's not the case here, as Billups will be forced to implement a new offensive system without his combo guard.
