It appears Portland Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operation Neil Olshey is almost done shaping this roster with only one further vet minimum signing likely to come. No offense to Cody Zeller, Ben McLemore and Tony Snell, but I'm not filled with confidence that Damian Lillard is filled with confidence.
Lillard has made his concerns about last year’s roster crystal clear: it wasn’t good enough. Even with the retention of Norman Powell, the hiring of rookie coach Chauncey Billups, and the addition of three vet minimum players, this team does not look set to improve on last season’s first-round playoff loss.
