Portland Trail Blazers
Things are a bit tense in Portland at the moment with the league looking into how they handled the trade of Gary Payton II after the Warriors revealed GP failed his physical and the Blazers weren’t forthcoming about his health.
Since the Dubs would end up having to pay an extra $133 million in luxury taxes they’ve elected to move ahead with the trade but this situation is far from being resolved.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
Portland’s objective is somewhat confusing at this point. On one hand, it’s easy to believe they’ll emulate their 2022 finish and enter the tanking group but on the other, they retained Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, and other assets so that would suggest a desire to be a playoff or play-in team.
LA on the other hand is no mystery – they are playoffs or bust and while I’m still not sure the upgrades make them a contender, they definitely improved and got a steal with the Vanderbilt and Beasley additions.
