They are only delaying the inevitable rebuild. Paying future assets for 1-2 more treadmill seasons. Even if Lillard gets back to his former level (a big IF) they don´t have the talent to compete with the best teams in the west.
Depends on your definition of compete. They could certainly be a 5-8 seed if Lillard is 100% back with this squad.
PG - Lillard
SG - Hart
SF - Anonoby
PF - Grant
C - Nurkic
6th man - Simons
They’ve always been flawed defensively around Lillard. This version of Portland would arguably be better than the best Dame/CJ teams of the last 5 years.
