Nothing can be taken for granted in the NBA, not even for a franchise that seemingly lacks competitive goals or weapons to rack up significant victories. The Portland Trail Blazers are proving to be a more dangerous team than expected, with the necessary pieces to build an exciting project.
New blood, young players to develop, nothing to lose, and a budding collective sentiment. These are the characteristics of the Portland Trail Blazers, whose aspirations may not be conspicuous, but they could start building an exciting project if they continue performing at the level they have shown in recent games. They have won three consecutive games, with Shaedon Sharp displaying a spectacular level of play and some young pieces showing enormous potential.
Shaedon Sharpe had himself a DAY!

If players such as Clingan, Henderson, Avdija, and Sharpe continue to showcase this high level of play, it would not be unreasonable for the management of the Portland Trail Blazers to seek to trade attractive assets like Grant or Ayton to aspiring teams, in order to acquire pieces that complete a young roster with future aspirations. If the season turns out even better than expected, it's not far-fetched that both may stay to provide experience to a team that is already generating excitement in Oregon.
