The Portland Trail Blazers are in year-one of a rebuild after trading Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks over the summer.

The Portland Trail Blazers entered the 2023-34 season with low expectations. The mission is to develop the young guys, build cohesion, and probably lose a lot of games. The team has already made progress on the first two and, though they currently sit only one game below .500, probably will still struggle to close out […]

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe is growing up right before Blazers fans’ eyes.

Maybe they just don’t like whatever is being […]

[…]

Shaedon Sharpe is headed to the NBA after being drafted seventh overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. The 6-foot-5, 19-year-old Sharpe was the 2022 NBA Draft’s man of mystery.
