Portland Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers have a free agency prediction amid the craziness of the NBA offseason. An insider predicts that a new face will get his chance to compete in Portland on a non-guaranteed deal.

Additionally, a $160 million contract has been named one of the worst in the basketball world by a key insider. The deal looks out of place amid a rebuilding Portland team, and the exorbitant number doesn't match the production he has given recently.

Finally, Trail Blazers rookie Yang Hansen has been going viral during his time in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League. The No. 16 overall pick was involved in a cheeky post from the Trail Blazers' Twitter/X account.
