If the Portland Trail Blazers could keep just one of their incumbent free agents, who would it be? It’s not clear what the team’s payroll budget is going to be going into next season. After spending the season in the luxury tax, it would be hard to begrudge Jody Allen for wanting to reset the repeater tax stopwatch a bit, particularly with Damian Lillard’s expected supermax extension kicking in for the 2021-22 season. Add in the fact that it’s not clear whether Allen will continue to own the team long-term, and cutting costs would be a great way to increase the value of the franchise in a potential sale, even though there’s been very little public word about it in the last four months.
