The Portland Trail Blazers were not just a team interested in buying Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks NBA champion Jrue Holiday.
Jake Fisher reports that the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks were interested in the holidays.
He makes it clear that the Trail Blazers are not going to overturn their holidays and plans to become an important part of their competitive plan next season.
The Western Conference is full of talent and it’s going to be hard for any team to break through, but Portland is trying to give it a try.
Chauncey Billups helped him win 36 wins in 12th place in the West from 2024-25, starting with a record of 15th place 21 wins from 2023-24.
Holidays add important experiences to younger groups. They will be added in the upcoming NBA Draft and Portland will comprehensively pick the latest mock draft project to become Colin Murray Boyless.
