Blazers Build for the Future | Portland Trail Blazers News

The Portland Trail Blazers are betting big on the future, snagging star Ja Morant in a bold move that signals owner Tom Dundon’s “undervalued talent” strategy — proven with the Carolina Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup win. General Manager Joe Cronin’s long-term vision is paying off, as the team quietly stockspile assets instead of chasing instant glory like the Suns did with Kevin Durant. While fans may groan at the lack of immediate championship vibes — especially with Lillard still in his prime — this calculated, patient approach could pay dividends when their young core matures and draft picks stack up. This season might feel like a puzzle, but the Blazers are playing chess — not checkers — and the long game just might be their winning move.
