Trial Blazers have reportedly Signed A $50 Million Contract Extension with Malcolm Brogdon.
After losing by more than 60 points for the second time this season, how will the Portland Trail Blazers respond? Although it might not be as severe, the wise money is on another loss. The Blazers have crossed enough thresholds that it is difficult to think they will do anything that would jeopardize their chance to be selected in the draft. However, players occasionally have a knack of upsetting GMs’ and men’s well-laid plans. However, don’t rely on it.
The Orlando Magic are now in fifth position in the Eastern Conference and have connections with teams that are as high as second and as low as eighth. The Magic are in a strong position to escape the play-in round, having already secured a postseason berth.
Depending on your objectives, yes. Would you like to play in the playoffs? Or are you interested in vying for a title? Should you be content with the former, the Magic are a great example and should be a respectable playoff club for a very long time. They have a respectable but not outstanding bunch of players, with Paolo Banchero being the highlight, and they hold all of their future first-round picks. They have three players (the same as the Blazers) in The Ringer’s top 100, which serves as an example of their predicament. The main issue is that none of them (including the Blazers) are ranked in the top 30, though Banchero would undoubtedly make the cut if the rankings were updated today.
Fans of the Blazers are aware that it usually takes more than one superstar to establish oneself as a serious contender. Will Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner lead them to success? It doesn’t seem likely. Thus, where will the players come from to reach the promised land? Orlando owns future first-round draft selections, but the Magic only own one, which comes from the Nuggets. They will either have to bundle a ton of them in a trade and hope for the best, or they will have to get extremely lucky with a late first-round pick. The Magic could be positioned for a number of years at the upper end of mediocrity, but you never know. I don’t think Cronin would use that model.
