The Portland Trail Blazers made major roster changes during the last two weeks of June, 2025. They traded guard Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday, drafted center Yang Hansen, and bought out veteran pivot Deandre Ayton. Their 2025-26 rotation is starting to coalesce.
If things remain the same, Holiday and Scoot Henderson should split time at point guard. Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija, and Toumani Camara should have relatively clear runways to blossom in the wing and forward positions, complicated only by the remaining presence of Jerami Grant. Hansen and sophomore Donovan Clingan will tag-team at center.
Though the lineup looks cleaner, it remains to be seen whether they will actually be better next season than they were last.
